BitumenBitumen
Tar(from coal)• road tar• coal tar
Asphalt Binder (from petroleum
crude)• asphaltic bitumen• asphaltic binder
Asphalt Binder Types and Uses 4
• Asphalt binders and tar – Both are bitumen materials. – are used interchangeable due to misconceptions
resulting from their similarity in appearance and in the parallel applications.
– However, Both are two distinctly different materials with different origins and different physical and chemical characteristics.
– Asphalt binders is a dark brown to black cementitious material that is either naturally occurring or is produced by petroleum distillation.
– Tar, on the other hand, is primarily manufactured from the destructive distillation of coal and has a very distinctive odor.

• Today, Tar Hardly used in Paving applications
– High temperature susceptibility
– Health hazards (eye and skin irritation when exposed to fumes)

• Asphalt binder is waste product from refinery processing of crude oil– Sometimes called the “bottom of the
barrel”
• Properties depend on:– Refinery operations– Composition of crude source-

Asphalt Binders are broken down into 2 components:
• Asphaltenes and resins• OilsBlended to produce asphalt binders of
desired properties

Background
History of Specifications
Asphalt Binder Types and Uses 33
Purchasing of Asphalt BindersPurchasing of Asphalt Binders
• Need to be able to specify desirable characteristics
• “Desirable characteristics” have evolved over time and with increasing technological advances
• Purchasing requires specifications
Asphalt Binder Types and Uses 34
Early SpecificationsEarly Specifications
• Lake Asphalts– Appearance– Solubility in carbon disulfide
• Petroleum asphalt binders (early 1900’s)– Consistency
• Chewing• Penetration machine
– Measure consistency

AdvantagesAdvantages
• Grades asphalt binders near average in-service temp.
• Fast
• Can be used in field labs
• Low capital costs
• Precision well established
• Temp. susceptibility can be determined
Asphalt Binder Types and Uses 46
DisadvantagesDisadvantages
• Empirical test
• Shear rate – High
– Variable
• Mixing and compaction temp. information not available
• Similar penetrations at 25C (77F) do not reflect wide differences in asphalts
