Coal is one of the types of combustible sedimentary rocks that contain large amounts of carbon and hydrocarbons and can have many industrial applications. Coal is one of the non-renewable fuels due to its long production process, therefore it has a high value. There are different types of coals and each of them has different characteristics, capabilities and applications. Bituminous coal is one of the best types of coal, which plays a very important role in the production of electricity and other industries.
What is Regulation asphalt?
As mentioned, asphalt is a black material that is produced from the combination of materials such as bitumen, sand, and has high adhesion, and after cooling and hardening, it can be durable and long-lasting against pressure, traffic, weight, etc. In some geographic environments, asphalts are damaged due to high temperature fluctuations, humidity, high traffic, etc. Regulation asphalt is a kind of improved asphalt that is more durable compared to old asphalts and can be highly resistant to heat and cold, humidity, traffic and pressure, etc. In fact, to produce this type of asphalt, along with bitumen, sand, and special additives such as bitumen are used, which makes the asphalt more resistant to cracking, rutting, etc., and has a longer lifespan.
The most important features and advantages of Regulation asphalt
Regulation asphalt, like cold, hot and protective asphalts, is composed of various materials and compounds and can have many applications. This material has unique features and advantages, the most important of which include the following:
Self-healing ability
Regulation asphalt, unlike other asphalts, has the ability to self-heal, and its cracks and grooves are repaired over time, and the small cracks on its surface disappear, for this reason, this asphalt does not need to be repaired.
High durability and longevity
The type of additives to Regulation asphalt, as well as its self-healing ability, makes it highly durable and resistant to pressures caused by traffic, temperature fluctuations, humidity, etc.
Easy production and consumption
Asphalt production is much easier compared to other common asphalt types and can have less environmental impact. In the production of this asphalt, it produces less toxic and polluted gases and will help to maintain clean air flow.
Recyclability
Regulation asphalts, in addition to their distinctive features, can be recycled and can be used many times, which makes it possible to save on its construction costs. In principle, this asphalt offers an optimal and lasting solution for road construction projects and has less harmful effects on the environment.
Can be used in different areas
As mentioned, Regulation asphalt can have a very good resistance to traffic, high weight, temperature changes, humidity, etc., for this reason, it can be used in all areas, especially mountainous, cold and humid areas. In fact, the high resistance of this asphalt against the penetration of moisture and water makes it not freeze, crack, etc. and has a longer life span and is more resistant to erosion.
Beauty and uniformity
Another advantage of Regulation asphalts is their beauty and high integrity. Since these asphalts are self-healing, it is less likely to have cracks, grooves, unevenness, etc., for this reason, they can be more beautiful and are a very good choice for streets, alleys, and roads.
Disadvantages of Regulation asphalt
In general, all asphalts can have many advantages and disadvantages such as bitumen, color change, voids on the asphalt surface, waves on the asphalt surface, hairline cracks, stone grains breaking under the pressure of the roller, being scratched, etc. are. Unlike other asphalts, reglagi asphalt has fewer of these defects, and perhaps it can be said that its most important defect is the possibility of high slip due to its smooth and uniform surface during rain.
The steps of using asphalt Regulation
Due to its features and advantages, Regulation asphalt has received a lot of attention today and has a significant advantage over other asphalts in terms of durability, economy, beauty, etc. The use of this asphalt will be done in several stages just like mobile asphalts
Site preparation
The first step of using asphalt Regulation is to prepare the area to be asphalted. At this stage, it is necessary to repair all holes and unevenness as well as cracks and prepare a smooth and even surface. Before asphalt, any extra materials and garbage should be removed from the site so that the quality of the asphalt is not affected.
Asphalt mixing
In the second step, after the preparation of the desired surface, the asphalt Regulation materials and compounds must be mixed under the supervision of experts. Basically, the building materials of this type of asphalt such as aggregates, bitumen and additives must be well mixed. It is necessary to be very careful and pay attention to the correct curing of asphalt, because proper curing of the compounds causes maximum strength and longer durability.
Spreading asphalt on the surface
After mixing the asphalt compounds, it is time to spread it on the surface. At this stage, you can use special shovels (in case of manual asphalting) or finisher and pour the asphalt evenly on the prepared surface. Asphalt material should be uniform and smooth so that no air remains between its particles. After smoothing the surfaces, the asphalt should be allowed to dry well. Asphalt drying will be influenced by factors such as ingredients, temperature and humidity, etc.
Continuous maintenance
Although Regulation asphalts are durable and self-healing, regular maintenance by checking signs of wear or damage over time can make it last longer and increase the lifespan of the pavement.
The final conclusion
Regulation asphalt is a type of asphalt that has more durability, longevity, resistance and beauty due to the addition of additives, and it can be suitable for all kinds of mountainous, cold, desert, etc. environments. Among the most important advantages of this asphalt, we can mention things such as self-healing ability, high durability and longevity, easy production and consumption, recycling ability, beauty and uniformity, reasonable price, etc., while compared to other asphalts, there are disadvantages It is much less.
