The difference between colored asphalt and black bitumen
The process and the facility is very similar with the black bitumen.
A:The difference is about the temperature, different color, the temperature will be different.
B: At meanwhile we will use the colored pigment powder to replace the mineral powder.
C: We will use the decolorized asphalt oil instead of the black bitumen.
Color asphalt production process
Heat a fixed amount of crushed stone to target temperature(such us: 130-150℃ for blue asphalt), add 3% of pigment powder and 5% of discolored asphalt oil in proportion, stir evenly, maintain the temperature in 130-150℃ in the mixing process, and then spread and compacted.
