Abstract

This study discussed the increase of latex 60% addition to obtain the standard of asphalt 60-70. The comparison used were without the increase of latex addition (L0), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 100 g latex with 60 % degree or 10 phr ( L1), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 200 g latex 60 % degree or 20 phr ( L2), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 300 g latex 60 % degree or 30 phr ( L3), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 400 g latex 60 % degree or 40 phr ( L4). All of the samples homogenized by heating at 150ºC temperature and 250 rpm within 30 minutes then soaked in the tub for 30 minutes at 25ºC.

Abstract

Styrofoam had many purposes, especially for the safety of electronic objects, because it is light, durable and strong. The volume of styrofoam is enormous, reaching 30% of total waste in the world. Therefore, it causes problems if disposed of and it will become a very inconvenient waste and it can undermine the environment. This study aims to determine the effect of adding former styrofoam waste to asphalt on the characteristics of the 60/70 pen asphalt. The sample was made by melting the Styrofoam with Xylene then putting it in heated asphalt and then stirring it evenly. Next, Styrofoam enters the material into the sample container and then is refrigerated outside for 1 hour. After that, the sample is immersed in water for 3 hours. The sample meets the asphalt requirements test for each sample including penetration test, softening point, flash point, burning point, density, and ductility. This shows that the higher the concentration, the addition of styrofoam mixed with asphalt resulted in conversion and increased performance of the mixture. While at density, it appears that the addition of Styrofoam results in a lower density value.
