Development of Biodegradable Asphalt Release Agents

在沥青建筑工业中使用石油基产品所带来的日益增长的健康和环境问题使得开发替代品成为必要。这些产品包括沥青脱模剂（ARA），柴油燃料在历史上一直使用。ARA防止沥青粘附在沥青生产中使用的工具和设备上，而不会对路面产生过于负面的副作用。由于已经实施了限制使用柴油等有害产品的法规，** 安大略有许多生物酸化替代品，包括MultiSolv的产品。然而，** 为了开发性能更好的生物源ARA，需要评估其性能和安全性（对沥青的损害），并且缺乏这方面的研究。将进行若干定量和定性测试，以 ** 测试ARA的性能和对沥青的损害。这些将有助于评估和进一步开发一些不同的生物来源的ARA制剂。这将进一步了解这些产品在安大略和 ** 帮助开发上级性能的产品，鼓励行业使用更多的生物来源的ARA。

The growing health and environmental concerns brought on by the use of petroleum based products in the**asphalt construction industry have necessitated the development of alternatives. Among these products are**Asphalt Release Agents (ARA), where diesel fuel has been used historically. ARAs prevent asphalt from adhering**to tools and equipment used in asphalt production, without producing overly negative side effects with regards to**the pavement. Since regulations have been implemented to restrict the use of harmful products like diesel fuel,**there have been a number of bio-soured alternative available in Ontario, including those from MultiSolv. However,**to develop better performing bio-sourced ARAs, their performance and safety (damage to the asphalt) need to be**evaluated, and research is lacking in this regard. Several quantitative and qualitative tests will be conducted to**test the performance and damage to asphalt of the ARAs. These will help evaluate and further develop a number**of different bio-sourced ARA formulations. This will further the understanding of these products in Ontario and**help develop superior performing products, encouraging the industry to use more bio-sourced ARAs.
