Latest Patents
One of his notable inventions is the "Sealer from SDA asphalt." This asphalt-based sealer is designed for driveways and similar applications. The material utilizes a blend of solvent deasphalted (SDA) asphalt combined with a cutter stock as the binder or sealer base. The resulting driveway sealer, which is an emulsion of clay, water, and binder, demonstrates acceptable durability while being essentially free of coal tar pitch. This innovation significantly reduces the toxicity and odor associated with traditional sealers.
Another important patent is the "Low softening point petroleum pitch." This invention involves a 40 petroleum pitch that is created by blending a high melting point petroleum pitch with a high boiling, normally liquid petroleum-derived hydrocarbon stream. The mixture achieves a softening point of 35-45°C, serving as a partial or complete replacement for coal tar pitch in driveway sealers and other applications. The driveway sealer made with this 40 petroleum pitch exhibits excellent durability and can also be nearly free of coal tar pitch, further minimizing toxicity and odor.
