How to Use High Viscosity Asphalt Additive

Dry Mixing Process

The additive can be directly added together with the dried aggregate into the asphalt mixing drum.

The recommended addition rate is approximately 6‰-8‰ of aggregate mass.

After approximately 10 seconds of dry mixing, base asphalt and mineral powder are added and mixed for approximately 40 seconds.

Wet Mixing Process

The modifier can also be added directly into a stirred asphalt storage tank.

The recommended modifier-to-asphalt mass ratio is approximately 10-14:90-86. The mixture is continuously stirred for approximately 2-4 hours at 180-190°C before use.

The finished high-viscosity asphalt is generally heated to approximately 170-175°C

The recommended addition rate is approximately 6‰-8‰ of aggregate mass.

For either process, aggregates should be properly dried and mixing should achieve uniform coating without segregation or clumping.

The above values are based on Go Green's current GHVAA technical specifications. Actual dosage and production parameters should be confirmed through project-specific asphalt mixture testing.

Frequently Asked Questions About High Viscosity Asphalt Additive

What is High Viscosity Asphalt Additive used for?

It is mainly used to increase asphalt viscosity and improve the bonding, cohesion, and stability of asphalt mixtures. It is particularly suitable for porous, permeable, drainage, and heavy-duty asphalt pavement.

Why is high viscosity asphalt important for porous pavement?

Porous asphalt contains a relatively open aggregate structure. Higher binder viscosity and stronger aggregate bonding help reduce binder drain-down and maintain the stability of the pavement structure.

What is the recommended dosage?

For the direct dry mixing process, the recommended dosage is approximately 6‰–8‰ of aggregate mass . The optimum dosage should be confirmed through asphalt mixture testing.

Can High Viscosity Asphalt Additive be used for heavy traffic roads?

Yes. It can be used for heavy traffic asphalt pavement, highways, airport runways, and other high-performance pavement applications.

Can the additive be directly added to an asphalt mixing plant?

Yes. GHVAA can be directly added with dried aggregate during the dry mixing process, providing a convenient method for asphalt mixture production.

What is the difference between High Viscosity Asphalt Additive and Anti Rutting Asphalt Additive?

High Viscosity Asphalt Additive mainly focuses on increasing asphalt viscosity, aggregate adhesion, and mixture cohesion, making it especially suitable for porous and permeable asphalt.

Anti Rutting Asphalt Additive is primarily designed to improve resistance to rutting and permanent deformation. The appropriate product should be selected according to the specific pavement performance requirements.

Conclusion

High Viscosity Asphalt Additive is a polymer-based modifier designed to improve asphalt viscosity, aggregate bonding, mixture cohesion, and pavement stability.

Go Green GHVAA is particularly suitable for porous asphalt, permeable pavement, drainage pavement, heavy traffic roads, highways, airport runways, and white-to-black pavement projects.

With both dry and wet mixing options, High Viscosity Asphalt Additive provides asphalt producers and contractors with a practical solution for developing stronger and more durable high-performance asphalt mixtures.
