Abstract
A 40 petroleum pitch is disclosed. A high melting point petroleum pitch is blended with a high boiling normally liquid petroleum derived hydrocarbon stream to form a mixture having a softening point of 35-45 C. as a partial or complete replacement for coal tar pitch used in driveway sealer and other sealer applications. Driveway sealer (an emulsion of clay, water and binder) made with A 40 has excellent durability and can have a greatly reduced amount of, or be essentially free of, coal tar pitch, greatly reducing the toxicity and odor of the sealer.
