Asphalt is a sticky black highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum used for surfacing roads flooring& roofing, also known as bitumen. Polymer modified asphalt (PMA) is one form of traditional asphalt which is fixed at comparatively low temperatures and maintain surface granules better compared to standard granules. Asphalts are mixed with elastomers to create PMA which has privileged rutting resistance and durability. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) are the most commonly used elastomers to produce PMA.
Lubricating oil is thick fatty oil used for making parts of machine to make them move smoothly. The oil creates a separate film between surfaces of the closest moving parts to minimize the direct contact and decrease in heat caused by friction & reducing wear.
