C9 petroleum resin was used to modify the Liaohe 90# asphalt. The influence of the amount of C9 petroleum resin on the matrix asphalt performance has been studied ,and the modified asphalt structure has been analyzed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental results show that, with the addition of C9 petroleum resins, the modified asphalt softening point was gradually increased, whereas the penetration was gradually decreased. The SEM analysis indicated a good compatibility of C9 petroleum resin and matrix asphal when the dosage of C9 petroleum resin was 4%, while the segregation phenomenon occured if the amount of C9 petroleum resin increased to 5%.

Karamay SBS modified asphalt was prepared to meet the requirements of the specifications for SBS (IC) asphalt by adding hard asphalt, petroleum resin and additives. The effects of hard asphalt, petroleum resin and additives on the softening point, penetration and storage stability of SBS modified asphalt were investigated. When the dosage of modifier SBS, hard asphalt, petroleum resin and the additives were 5%, 3%, 3%, and 2% respectively, SBS modified Karamay asphalt's softening point was 55.6 ℃, the penetration was 60.7 (0.1 mm), ductility at 5 ℃ was 31.2 cm, and the difference of softening point from the top and the bottom of storage tube was 1.2 after 48 h of storage at 163 ℃.The properties of said modified asphalt met the requirements of the specifications for SBS (IC) asphalt.
