Enhance Properties of Bitumen and Asphalt Mixes
NuMIXER®: Bending Beam Rheometry (BBR) Results
Bending Beam Rheometry (BBR) tests were done on PAV aged materials.
BBR is a measure of cold temperature performance.
NuMIXER decreases the Stiffness & increases the m-Value.
It dramatically improves the low temperature performance of bitumen.
NuMIXER®: Fatigue Resistance (LAS) Results
Linear Amplitude Sweep (LAS) tests were conducted at 25 °C with failure set as a 35% decrease in G*sind.
LAS Test is a measure of damage tolerance and fatigue resistance.
NuMIXER delivers improved fatigue life at both low and high strain levels.
NuMIXER®: Low Temperature Fracture (SENB) Results
Single Edged Notched Beam (SENB) tests were done on PAV aged materials.
The SENB tests were performed at -12 °C.
NuMIXER extends the post peak fracture resistance and increases the deformation to failure.
It improves the strain tolerance at low temperatures.
