A composition for coating and treating aggregate intended for use in paving applications is a blend of high temperature coal tar pitch combined with coal tar oils resulting from distilling high temperature coke oven tar to pitch having a softening point from between 100.degree. to 400.degree. F. cube in Air. The oil blend having a distillation curve to 300.degree. C. ASTM D 158 is shown in Table I, in separate embodiments as shown in columns I and II.

Pavement aggregate treating composition

A pavement rejuvenating composition in which particular coal tar derivatives and other optional ingredients are admixed with one or more blackening agents. The blackening agent may be one or more of the following: soft coal tar pitch, aromatic cracked petroleum residue, silicone, aliphatic amine, carbon black or 0.01-2.0% by weight pavement dressing conditioner to give the desired blackening and pavement preservation effect.

Pavement rejuvenator and dressing conditioner with blackening agent

A pavement rejuvenating and/or conditioning composition in which particular coal tar derivatives and other optional ingredients are supplemented with an elastomeric constituent. A rejuvenating or conditioning composition containing an elastomer will reliably hold in place a top layer of fine aggregate, whereas a rejuvenating or conditioning composition without elastomer does not, and also allows for early restoration of traffic, prompt resistance to rain, and good repair and wear resistance of and in the pavement to be maintained. The elastomer is preferably acrylonitrile-butadiene polymer although other polymers can also be substituted including natural and nitrile-rubbers, polyorganosiloxane and, less preferably, styrene-butadiene, neoprene- and polybutadiene polymers.

Pavement rejuvenator and dressing conditioner with elastomer

A pavement rejuvenating and/or conditioning composition in the form of an aqueous-based emulsion or jelly. More particularly, bituminous pavement rejuvenators and pavement dressing conditioners are made into emulsions or jellies by agitating the rejuvenators and/or conditioners in cationically- nonionic or anionically-modified aqueous solvents. These solvents include aqueous polyvinylalcohol; polyoxyalkylenes aqueous amines; aqueous compounded amines such as those available from Akzo Chemicals and sold under the tradename Redicote (i.e., Redicote E-9) or those available from B. F. Goodrich Chemical Co. and sold under the tradename Carbopol; and aqueous solutions of aliphatic fatty acids and caustic (usually sodium hydroxide). When the emulsifying agent concentration in the solution is increased, the solution may be used to form jellied products, whereas more dilute aqueous solutions of the emulsifying agents are suitable for preparing lower viscosity emulsions of the rejuvenating and conditioning compositions.

Pavement rejuvenator and dressing conditioner emulsions and jellies

A novel composition for treating asphalt and concrete surfaces is provided formed of a mixture of topped coke oven tar, an aromatic solvent having an API Gravity@ 60.degree. F. of 11-30, Specific Gravity 60.degree./60.degree. F. of from 0.876-0.993, Distillation Range .degree. F. of 310-450 IBP (initial boiling point) to 350-550 DP (dry point), and a Flash pt. .degree. F. TCC of 110-250; and a bituminous pavement rejuvenator which is a composition derived from coal tar and comprises a mixture of di-, tri- and tetracyclic aromatic compounds and their alkyl homologs containing lower alkyl groups together with a significant amount of phenolic and hydroxy derivatives and having a specific gravity at 25.degree./25.degree. C. of at least 1.08, an initial boiling point of at least 180.degree. C., and a continuous boiling range to at least 300.degree. C., 70-40% by volume of the material remaining as residue at 300.degree. C., and the distillate to 300.degree. C. having a minimum specific gravity at 25.degree./25.degree. C. of about 1.025.
