OBJECTIVE OF THE MODIFICATION OF BITUMEN


A lot of efforts have been made for the modification of bitumen. But the cost of the modified binder is high because of the high price of the polymers. Considering this problem our endeavor was to use reclaimed polyethylene to fulfill the following objectives:
  • To get high strength bituminous mix.
  • To achieve economic goal by saving some portion of bitumen. 
  •  To find out the changing properties of bitumen after mixing of polyethylene and kerosene.
  • To sure the bituminous admixture is suitable or not for construction.
  • To measure benefit from the project.
  • To save the environment from pollution by using waste polyethylene.
