Term of the Road Dictionary

hydrocarbon binder

  • Language : PIARC Road Dictionary / English
  • Theme : Roads Materials Binders
  • Definition : Adhesive material containing bitumen and/or lake asphalt and/or tar. Note: the term is not scientifically precise, in that all of the materials covered by it contain nonhydrocarbon components. However, it has been proposed to allow the term ''bituminous binder'' to apply exclusively to nonpyrolysis materials (i.e. bitumen and lake asphalt) [CEN].

Kohlenwasserstoff-Bindemittel

  • Language : PIARC Road Dictionary / German
  • Theme : Straßen Baustoffe Bindemittel
  • Definition : Klebriges Material, das Bitumen und/oder Naturasphalt und/oder Teer enthält. Anmerkung: Der Begriff ist wissenschaftlich nicht genau. Alle Stoffe, die unter diesen Begriff fallen, können Bestandteile enthalten, die keine Kohlenwasserstoffe sind. Deshalb wird vorgeschlagen, den Begriff "bitumenhaltiges Bindemittel" ausschließlich auf nicht pyrolytisch behandelte Materialien (z. B. Bitumen und Naturasphalt) anzuwenden (CEN).
  • Synonyms : Bindemittel auf Bitumen- oder Teerbasis
