Abstract

The increasing number of vehicles in an area is the cause of road damage. The load from these vehicles can cause deformation in the road layer, especially in the asphalt concrete-wearing course (AC-WC) layer. Improving the quality of road layers requires materials that meet specifications and additives that can support pavement stability at an economical cost. Natural additives that can be used are natural elastomers or rubber gum. The resulting sap is called latex (natural rubber) and then processed into various kinds of rubber products, one of which is vulatex, namely natural rubber latex with 0.2% - 0.6% ammonia and 2% - 3% surfactant. From the results of tests conducted with Marshall parameters, the optimum asphalt content (KAO) is obtained on asphalt with 12% rubber latex additives (vulatex) with 5.2% asphalt content. From the test results, the VMA value of 15.1%, VIM of 4.75%, VFA of 69.23%, Stability of 2461.3 kg, and flow of 3.68 mm meet the specifications.
