Rolling Thin Film Oven

Rolling Thin Film Oven — Equipment for asphalt binder (bitumen) analysis

Asphalt binder is a thermoplastic material, which means its properties change significantly with temperature.

  • At high temperatures, asphalt binder becomes softer and may lose its load-bearing capacity, leading to deformations such as rutting, tire marks, and pavement depressions.

  • At high temperatures, asphalt binder becomes softer and may lose its load-bearing capacity, leading to deformations such as rutting, tire marks, and pavement depressions.

Therefore, tests such as softening point, penetration, and ductility allow us to predict how asphalt binder will behave under different climates and service conditions.
