EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Malaysias Highway Infrastructure is ever improving and expanding upon its existing network. The local
climate is extremely influential in the rapid ageing of the bitumen binder frequently resulting in early life
failure of the surfacing materials used. Accordingly, the use of Rhinophalt was presented as a means of
protecting the investment by significantly extending the period before replacement becomes necessary as
well as reducing the need for unplanned repairs. Trials on Sites at Putrajaya and on the Mex Highway were
scheduled in order to demonstrate the benefits of Rhinophalt, these being:
1. Improved aggregate retention

2. Reduction in water permeability
3. Preservation of the binder properties
The net result of the above benefits is a greatly improved extension of the life of the surfacing course.
At Putrajaya a section of new surfacing on the orbital route was chosen to demonstrate the impact on
asphalt surface performance following an application of Rhinophalt. In January 2014, the preservative was
applied to a selected area of the existing asphalt wearing course. Two further sites were also selected on
the Mex Highway where the surfacing is approximately 5 years old and where the same suite of tests were
repeated..
Following curing, asphalt cores were removed from the treated areas, along with cores from adjacent
untreated control areas. The extracted cores were subsequently delivered to an independent UKAS
accredited laboratory to undergo an established regime of testing that is designed to scientifically
demonstrate the ability of Rhinophalt to increase the retention of aggregate in a surfacing material.
Malaysian based laboratory, Ikram Paves SDN BDH, also retained cores for testing of penetration and
softening point of the recovered bitumen and conducted later in-situ testing of the permeability of treated
and untreated areas of both sites.
It should be noted that the surfacing material at Putrajaya was very new and this factor has
influenced some of the test results on this site. Further testing on this site will produce more
stable results after the surfacing has settled down.
The key outcomes and benefits of applying Rhinophalt to the selected sites, as reported in this document,
are summarised below:
Improved aggregate retention
Improved rut resistance when compared to the control specimens.

Page 3 of 13 | 18 June 2014 | 2:02 PM
Significant improvement in the Erosion Index compared to an untreated specimen.
Significant improvement in the permeability of treated against untreated sections of carriageway on the
Mex Highway. NB Permeability tests at Putrajaya were inconclusive. This is most likely related to
the as new condition of the surfacing on this site.
All of the above benefits demonstrated through this assessment are additional to the long term
maintenance benefits that in-situ preservation will offer the client. These are achieved through sealing of
the existing bitumen which locks in the lighter elements of the bitumen (the Maltenes, Oils and Resins
which provide the flexible properties within an asphalt pavement), thereby reducing the risk of cracking
which an untreated asphalt would otherwise be prone to. Weathering and oxidation would typically result
in loss of Maltenes, Oils and Resins.
NB Initial penetration and softening point data, discussed later in this document has been
collected on the two sites. Further periodic testing on binder rheology will be required to illustrate
the benefit over-time that Rhinophalt will bring to the preservation of the binder.
1. Rhinophalt Product Overview

Rhinophalt is a spray-applied surface penetrative sealer applied at ambient temperature. It is a costeffective and sustainable method of preserving and protecting bituminous bound materials. The
preservative protects bitumen from the impact of oxidisation and achieves this by penetrating into the
existing binder of the pavement and providing a durable seal to prevent water ingress into the bitumen and
to resist further oxidisation coupled with the benefit of improved cohesion and binding properties with the
aggregate matrix. The solution is best utilised as a preventative maintenance measure in asset
management, extending the operational life of the pavement and removing the large costs of resurfacing
and repair works.
It is recommended that an asphalt pavement be treated with the Rhinophalt preservative every 4-5 years
to significantly improve the operational life of a bituminous material and to ensure effectiveness is
maintained.
Further information on Rhinophalt including technical data and case studies are available upon request
from ASI Solutions Limited.

2. Introduction to Testing Programme

This report evaluates the laboratory assessment conducted on the cores extracted from the sites in
Malaysia and also on tests conducted in-situ on those sites. The laboratory testing assessed the benefits
of the penetrative preservative, Rhinophalt through evaluation of the pavement performance and
compared these results against the set of results achieved on untreated control sections of the same
highways. This report details the results of tests on bitumen penetration, softening point, scuffing testing
and water permeability.
3. Laboratory Results & Discussion

A summary of testing done for each test is given in this section with copies of the full test certificates
available to view in the Appendices of this report.
3.1 Water Permeability

Ikram Paves SDN.BHD. carried out permeability tests on treated and untreated sections at both sites.
A significant reduction in hydraulic conductivity was recorded on both sites at Mex Highway. On the
Southernmost site, the difference in time for the required volume of water to pass through the treated
surfacing was greater than the untreated sample by a factor of 20.
The data recorded at Putrajaya was inconclusive, which is very likely due to the as new condition (only laid
a few days previously) of the surfacing course. At this stage in its life the material is exhibiting optimum
resistance to permeability. Results more representative of the benefits of treating with Rhinophalt will be
more accurately available as the untreated surfacing at Putrajaya ages. We would therefore recommend
that this test is repeated in 2-3 months time.
3.2 Penetration and Softening Point

A control core was broken down for binder analysis; Ikram Paves SDN.BHD tested the recovered bitumen
for Penetration Determination and Softening Point. The recovered bitumen on the untreated sample at
Putrajaya achieved a penetration of 16 dmm and at Mex Highway of 15 dmm. The softening point on
samples taken from both sites was 61oC. The data for Putrajaya does seem rather low for new surfacing
material but we have no information on the condition of this material at installation. These results will be
used as a measure of binder hardening for any future testing that may be carried out on these sites.

Figure 3.4.1 summarises the key results achieved on the Scuffing Test and within this section, a further
analysis of these results is given. Samples number A14-3926 2A shows improved performance
characteristics over the untreated sample in all areas examined under the test. This is demonstrated
through increased rut resistance and resistance to loss of texture depth when undergoing the test
procedure. The increased resistance to rut deformation/aggregate loss is achieved via the application of
Rhinophalt which improves the surface adhesion as the application of Rhinophalt penetrates into the
existing binder matrix of the asphalt reinforcing the existing asphalt matrix. The results achieved on sample
number A14-3926 2A are what would be expected from a Rhinophalt treated sample.
A breakdown of the results above is graphically illustrated below.

The Rhinophalt treated core (Sample number A14-3926 2A) illustrates enhanced resistance to deformation
over the untreated core by a factor of 3 thereby providing enhanced durability; these properties are likely to
increase over time as the untreated asphalt degrades at a greater rate then the perserved material due to
oxidation and evaporative hardeneing.

The Erosion Index gives an indication as to the rate at which the material has been eroded away during
the Scuffing Test through a visual inspection after 4000 cycles. Figure 3.3.3. displays the erosion index in
a graphical format, again this shows the treated core with Rhinophalt (A14-3926 2A) displaying increased
performance against the core from the control area (untreated). The treated sample shows some indication
of surface erosion, however the untreated specimen was ranked with a Erosion Index of 4 which indicates
that through visual inspection the untreated surface is showing clear signs of increased erosion and
surface failure after 4,000 cyles.

The Rhinophalt treated sample (A14-3926 2A) out performs the untreated core by a factor >3. The loss of

the exisiting surface can be improved upon with a treatment of Rhinophalt and this treatment can be
expected to extend the operational life.

Rhinophalt which improves the surface adhesion as the application of Rhinophalt penetrates in to the
existing binder matrix of the asphalt rein-enforcing the existing asphalt matrix. The results achieved on
sample number A14-4395 5D are what would be expected from a Rhinophalt treated sample although the
test had to be stopped before completion as the samples were breaking up under the test. This is a result
of the very new nature of the surfacing material in the samples being tested.
A breakdown of the results above is illustrated by a graphical display below

The Rhinophalt treated core (Sample number A14-4395 5D) illustrates enhanced resistance to
deformation over the untreated core by a factor of >2 thereby providing enhanced durability; these
properties are likely to increase over time especially in this very new surfacing as the untreated asphalt
degrades at a greater rate then the preserved material due to oxidation and evaporative hardeneing. The
early treatment of this new surface should increase the benefits over an older treated surface over-time.

performance against the core from the control area (untreated). Due to the nature of the new surfacing
material being tested, both samples were beginning to break up and the test was stopped at 470 cycles.

The results for this test, although positive, are affected by the nature of the new surfacing material and
reflect the fact that the cores were beginning to break-up under test.
4. Conclusion
Laboratory analysis of the work done can conclude the following key points;
Improved aggregate retention
Improvement in rut resistance when compared to the control specimens.
Significant improvement in Erosion index.
Large reduction in porosity of the surface when comparing a Rhinophalt treated surface to an untreated
control.
The data clearly differentiates between the asphalts, untreated and treated with Rhinophalt, showing the
immediate benefits of preservation through the application of Rhinophalt. Based on the outcomes of this
testing, it can reasonably be concluded that an application of Rhinophalt to the sites under test would
extend the operational life of those pavements, offering significant environmental and commercial benefits
to the client through improved performance of the asphalt, achieved via penetrative preservation.
It is recommended that additional testing after a period of time, particularly on binder analysis can be made
to further support the conclusions made in this report.
