That can be done by looking for good material to be added to the asphalt<br>mix such as polymers LDPE, SBS and HR as shown by some researchers. The main<br>objective of the work is to find new bitumen mix which is compatible with the Iraqi<br>standard and saved the environment. The result indicates an improvement in most of the<br>modified bitumen with HR, SBS and LDPE. 10% WCO, 88% bitumen and 2% HR give 60<br>mm Penetration, 99.3% solubility, 95 ductility, 44 oC softening point and 288 flash point<br>were seen to be optimum with the selected standard. At the end, the study indicates that a<br>good quality bitumen can be achieved using HR, SBS and LDPE.</p> ER -
