TGA measures the weight loss of bitumen as it is heated, providing information on thermal stability and composition. It reveals the temperatures at which components volatilize or decompose, indicating the presence of volatile compounds and the thermal degradation behavior. TGA helps assess the effects of aging, additives, and predict the binder’s performance at high temperatures.
