Preparation and Properties of New Thermal Reflective Coating for Asphalt Pavement.

This paper aims to study the applicability of an epoxy resin modification to improve its anti-aging properties, which are conducive to road performance. To achieve this goal, a wide range of laboratory activities were conducted, including an emulsion mixed with epoxy resin and liquid phenolic resin as the coating substrate; surface-modified titanium dioxide, silica, hollow glass beads and sericite powder as functional fillers; then adding pigments and various additives to prepare a new asphalt pavement heat-reflective coating. Secondly, the optimum brushing amount of the coating was obtained, and the cooling effect was clarified. Finally, the road performance was evaluated by testing the coating's skid resistance, wear resistance and impermeability. The results show that the skid resistance, abrasion resistance and impermeability of the heat reflection coating meet the specification requirements.
