Provided are [1] an asphalt composition containing asphalt, a polyester resin, and a dispersant; [2] an asphalt mixture containing the asphalt composition as set forth above in [1] and an aggregate; [3] a road paving method including a step of laying the asphalt mixture as set forth above in [2], thereby forming an asphalt paving material layer; and [4] a method for producing an asphalt mixture including mixing asphalt, a polyester resin, a dispersant, and an aggregate at 130&#xb0; C. or higher and 200&#xb0; C. or lower.

Asphalt composition

There is provided a deep hole processing device for forming a hole by rotational movement of a main spindle to which a tool is attached of a portal machine toward a workpiece, having, a bush having a hole diameter for guiding rotational movement of the tool, and a bush holding unit provided on a cross rail capable of moving on columns of the portal machine for holding the bush with respect to a spindle head on which the main spindle is mounted at a predetermined distance, wherein a position of the bush relative to the workpiece and a pressure at which the bush is pressed against the workpiece may be controlled by movement of the cross rail.

Deep hole processing device

An additive for internal addition, which improves the paper qualities of a pulp sheet, such as stiffness and bulk which includes a polymer emulsion containing a natural cationic polymer (A) or synthetic cationic polymer (A') and polymer particles (B) containing vinyl monomer-derived structural units.

Paper quality improver

This invention is to provide a paper bulking promoter with which a highly bulky sheet can be obtained without impairing paper strength. Namely, this invention provides a process for producing a bulky paper, comprising the step of making paper from pulp in the presence of a bulking promoter comprising a cationic compound.

Paper bulking promoter

The present invention provides a paper quality improver for papermaking, for improving bulk value, brightness, and opacity of the pulp sheet. Further, the present invention provides a dry efficiency improver. A compound is used as the paper quality improver for papermaking, wherein the compound has less than 4% of lyotropic degree measured by a specific method and the compound satisfies at least two selected from (i) standard improved bulky value of not less than 0.02 g/cm, (ii) standard improved brightness of not less than 0.5 point and (iii) standard improved opacity of not less than 0.5 point. The compound is added internally into pulp slurry before or in papermaking step.

Paper quality improver for papermaking and method for producing pulp sheet

According to the present invention, a bulky sheet can be obtained without reducing the effect of a sizing agent. Thus, an ester compound having the melting point of not more than 100&deg; C. selected from (A) an ester compound of a polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid and (B) an ester compound of a polyhydric alcohol and a fatty acid further including from more than 0 mole to less than 12 moles on the average of C oxyalkylene groups per 1 mole of the said ester compound is used as a paper bulking promoter.

This invention provides a paper bulking promoter with which a highly bulky sheet can be obtained without impairing paper strength. Namely, this invention provides a process for producing a bulky paper, having the step of making paper from pulp in the presence of a bulking promoter having at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a cationic compound, an amine compound, an acid salt of an amine compound, an amphoteric compound, an amide compound, a quaternary ammonium salt, and an imidazoline derivative.

The present invention provides a paper quality improver composition for papermaking, which is excellent in improved efficiencies of bulky value, brightness, opacity and the like of pulp sheet, demanded at lightening paper and increasing a blending amount of deinked pulp, even by adding a small amount thereof as well as which is further excellent in an improved efficiency of paper-strength. That is, the present invention provides a paper quality improver composition for papermaking; which comprises (A) a compound having lyotropic degree measured by a specific method of not less than 4% and satisfying at least two of (i) standard improved bulky value of not less than 0.02 g/cm , (ii) standard improved brightness of not less than 0.5 point, and (iii) standard improved opacity of not less than 0.5 point and (B) a water-soluble polymer satisfying an average molecular weight and/or a viscosity thereof of specific value.
