Adhesive road additive “AMDOR‑9”

Амдор
Product Characteristics

The “AMDOR-9” additive is a cationic surfactant that ensures a high degree of adhesion between road bitumen and various mineral materials, including granite crushed stone and sand, which have elevated acidic properties.

"AMDOR-9" adhesive road additive is used in road construction to extend the service life and improve the quality of road surfaces, to improve technological performance in the production of asphalt mixtures.

The additive "AMDOR-9" is introduced into bitumen in an amount of 0.15-0.5%.

Parameters
Indicator name Indicator value
1. Appearance, color: A viscous liquid ranging in color from light brown to dark brown*
2. Adhesion to the mineral material of bitumen containing 0.15% to 0.5**% of the additive No worse than control sample No. 2 according to GOST 11508
At least 4 points according to GOST 12801, clause 28
3. Acid value, mg KOH/g of product, not more than: 15
4. Mass fraction of water, %, not more than: 2
5. Loss of flow temperature, °C, not higher than: 15
6. Density at 20°C, g/cm3 From 0.930 to 1.150

* допускается помутнение добавки при хранении, не влияющее на эффективность работы и исчезающее при нагреве до 70°C и перемешивании.

** the amount of the ADOR additive is determined by the nature of the mineral material, the quality of the bitumen, and the composition of the asphalt concrete mixture.

Advantages

The introduction of the additive "AMDOR-9" into bitumen in an amount of 0.15 – 0.5* % allows:

  • reduce the surface tension at the bitumen–mineral interface and, as a result, significantly increase the adhesion of bitumen to mineral materials of both basic and acidic nature.
  • reduce bitumen consumption in the production of asphalt concrete.
  • reduce the temperature for preparing and laying hot asphalt concrete mixtures by 10-20 °C.
  • reduce energy consumption for technological needs.
  • increase the service life of the road surface by improving the moisture resistance and frost resistance of asphalt concrete.
  • increase the productivity of equipment at asphalt concrete plants and road compaction machines.
  • extend the road construction season by 1.5–2 months.

The introduction of the “AMDOR‑9” additive into bitumen is carried out at the asphalt concrete plant (ACP) immediately before the preparation of the asphalt concrete mixture. The existing equipment at the ACP, plants for preparing polymer‑bitumen binder, as well as special installations for introducing additives can be used to introduce the additive into the bitumen.

It is very important to ensure uniform distribution of the additive in the bitumen!

Packaging and storage

The “AMDOR-9” additive is supplied in 216‑litre metal drums and 1 m3 polymer containers from warehouses in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Tagil, and Tolyatti.

It is recommended to store the additive, which is packaged, in closed storage facilities at ambient temperatures ranging from −40 °C to +50 °C.

The “AMDOR-9” additive is supplied to the EU countries by the company “AMDOR-Baltics” – www.amdor-baltics.com

All products of the “AMDOR” group of companies are certified and have state registration.
