Use of natural rubber latex in road construction
Material type:
TextPublication details: Rubber Mitram 2001Description: 22-31Subject(s): Summary: Latex is the most effective form of natural rubber for road construction, both centrifuged latex and revertex being used. The authors found creamed skim latex most effective for road-making. Because of its easy availability, however, field latex is more suitable for road-making in the natural rubber producing countries. Results of laboratory studies concerned the dispersion of rubber particles, temperature-dependent and rheological properties, ageing and stripping of rubberized bitumen and uses of rubber in mix designs. Experimental stretches of road surfacing have been laid with bitumen containing upto 4;field latex. Further test stretches are being laid with rubber-modified pre-mix using field and creamed skim latices.
