Influence of synthetic wax F-T on aging of road bitumen 35/50

The research and analysis presented in this papers is to assess the influence of Fischer-Tropsch synthetic wax on road bitumen 35/50 aging. The scope of the research include: penetration at 25°C, the softening temperature according to the method of “Ring and Ball”, Fraass breaking point and dynamic viscosity at 60°C and 135°C. The research show that bitumen modified by synthetic wax are characterized by a significant increase in the softening point and a smaller change in penetration. Moreover, research show an increase in brittleness temperature, increase in viscosity at 60°C in each case the amount of added synthetic wax and the viscosity value at 135°C notes a smaller increase.
