ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an encapsulated asphalt which is comprised of an asphalt cement or modified asphalt cement encapsulated by a polymeric coating (examples: ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.). The pellet of encapsulated asphalt is of such a size that it may be handled transported and stored at ambient temperatures and in much the same manner as grain, aggregate, or other granular materials. The encapsulated asphalt cement or modified asphalt cement will not suffer from degradation due to prolonged storage. The polymeric coating material and thickness may be chosen such that the coating will not alter the asphalt properties significantly, or may be used as a modifier for the asphalt which will be incorporated into the asphalt at the point of use.
