Asphalt Anti-stripping Agents Market

Global Asphalt Anti-stripping Agents Market: Highlights

• Anti-stripping agents are chemical compounds which render a minimum stripping (breaking) of bonds between the aggregate surface and the bitumen film. The property of stripping is attributable to water which enters between the bitumen film and the aggregate surface. The aggregate surface has greater attraction to water than bitumen, owing to hydrophilic nature of the aggregate. This leads to breaking of the adhesive bond of bitumen with the aggregate.
• Anti-stripping agents modify the chemical structure of bitumen. These agents provide perfect adhesion of the bitumen film onto the aggregate surface. By opposing the action of water, these agents increase the wettability of bitumen and its resistance to mechanical and cyclic strains. They also increase durability of bituminous mixtures; provide resistance; allow for extending of production-to-lay times; and help in easing the compaction.
• These materials are largely used in construction of highway roads, airport runways, and bridges

Key Drivers of Global Asphalt Anti-stripping Agents Market

• Rising number of road projects undertaken by governments of different nations is expected to boost the global asphalt anti-stripping agents market during the forecast period. In the U.S., various road projects have been initiated by government agencies in order to reduce traffic. Some of them include Complete 540 project of North Carolina, North Houston Highway Improvement Project of Texas, and High Desert Freeway of California. This, in turn, is expected to boost the demand for asphalt anti-stripping agents during the forecast period.
• Increased investments in the construction of new airports are also expected to propel the global asphalt anti-stripping agents market during the forecast period. According to Center for Aviation, investments in the construction of new airports worldwide were valued at US$ 23,062.59 Mn in 2018 and rose to US$ 62,397.83 Mn in 2019. With the rising investments in airport construction, the demand for asphalt anti-stripping agents is also likely to increase, thereby driving the global market during the forecast period.
