Spray tack coat uniformly and accurately across the paving width and monitor the rate of spray. Determine the tack coat application rate by road conditions and mix type. Meet the undiluted asphalt emulsion application rate in Table 501-1. Tack coat application rates above the minimum specified in Table 501.1 must be approved by the Engineer.

not to apply tack coat. The reasoning for this decision often lies in the inconvenience associated with allowing the time for the tack coat to cure and dry prior to applying the next lift of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). As harsh as it sounds, sometimes performance is compromised for the sake of convenience.

The prime coat shall be applied uniformly and at a rate that will provide a residual asphalt rate on the prepared surface of 0.25 lb./sq. ft. ± 0.01 (1.21 kg/sq. m ± 0.05). The prime coat shall be permitted to cure until the penetration has been approved by the Engineer, but at no time shall the curing period be less than

Three factors, including curing conditions (indoor, outdoor, and curing at night), asphalt emulsion types (RS-1k, RS-2k, RS-2kL, RS-3k, Ralumac, and SRSB) and application rates (high, medium, and low), were investigated. The curing time was determined by weighing a specimen repeatedly at a certain time interval until a constant weight was achieved.

The prime coat shall be permitted to cure until the penetration has been approved by the Engineer, but at no time shall the curing period be less than 24 hours for MC-30 or four hours for PEP. Pools of prime occurring in the depressions shall be broomed or squeegeed over the surrounding surface the same day the prime coat is applied.

selection criteria. They explain how to estimate the quantity of tack coat, how to determine tack coat application rates, how to sample and test tack coat, and how to measure and pay for tack coat. The guidelines do not address the chemistry of tack coat materials, storing and handling procedures, construction equipment, or materials testing.

Rapid curing (RC) asphalt cement is a combination of light diluents of high volatility, generally in the gasoline or naphtha boiling point range (RC-70, 250, 800, 3000), and asphalt cement.

At one time it was thought that a prime coat was an essential element of good pavement construction. Aggregate base/subbase materials were more "open" or coarsely graded than today's materials so it was necessary to bind the upper 1-2" together by spraying a heavy application of liquid cutback asphalt on the surface and allowing it to ...

•Tack Coat Break —the moment when water separates enough from the asphalt showing a color change from brown to black. •Tack Coat Set (cure)—when all the water has evaporated, leaving only the residual asphalt. Some refer to this as completely broken. Terminology

With respect to tack coat curing time, the bonding at a wet interface may increase with time but not at the same rate when compared with equivalent sections without water. Raab et al. (37, 38) reported that the pres- ence of moisture at the interface could reduce interface shear resistance.

texture, pavement temperature, tack coat type, curing time of tack coat, aggregate type and gradation, and cleanliness and dryness of the surface. Studies show that milling the surface increases shear resistance at the interface between pavement layers (Leng et al., 2008). This

The direct shear test was used to measure the bond properties provided by tack coat, whereas the surface characteristics were measured by traditional techniques. Variables included surface type, curing time, curing temperature, emulsion type, and residual application rate.

Tack-free time (TFT) is a measure of a surface cure time during the application of a substance such as a coating or sealant. It is the time at which the coating is deemed to be properly adhered and capable of providing maximum protection to a surface without being disrupted or damaged. A coating's tack-free time is important to note as it ...

provided by the tack coat at the interface between pavement lifts. These factors included the surface condition, tack coat curing time, tack coat residual rate, and coring location (middle of the lane vs. wheel path). This study also aimed at evaluating potential quality tests for tack coat application. 2

surface." (FHWA Tack Coat Tech Brief, 2016) • "A small amount of moisture on the pavement surface should not be detrimental to long-term tack coat performance, although a damp pavement will slow the cure and break time of the tack coat emulsion."

The Prime coat shall be applied uniformly to the surface of the base using a pressure distributor at a rate between 0.65 and 1.75 kg per square meter (For Oman, Standard Specification for Road and Bridge Construction 2010 application rate is 0.8 - 1.75 kg per square meter ) and at a temperature between 50℃ to 80℃ for MC-70 and at a ...

coverage of the tack coat are not acceptable for the tack application. DOUBLE OVERLAP NOTE: TACK NEEDED ON JOINT Proper Break/Cure Time • When first applied as tack coat, emulsion is brown in color –indicating that it is still in emulsified form • Break: When the emulsion changes from brown to black, the emulsion has "broken" or the

Generally, a tack coat should be allowed enough time to break and set (emulsion) or cure (cutback) before applying the next layer of HMA. Tracking Although this material is unsightly, it generally has little effect and wears away quickly.

Application of the Concrex® must be completed while the Tack Coat is still tacky. (A minimum temperature of 50°F is necessary in the area of application to ensure proper curing.) Tack Coat should be sufficiently tacky for top coating approximately 30 minutes to one hour depending upon temperature and the type of substrate.

The study also examined the influences of tack coat curing time, temperature, HMA type, and surface texture on the performance of tack coats. The study considered four tack coat materials: SS-1hp, high float emulsion (HFE), SS-1vh (very hard, no-track emulsion), and straight asphalt (PG 64-22). The tack coat was optimized at

uniform distribution of tack and can lead to bond failure and raveling of the new pavement. The objectives of this project were to evaluate the performance of different tack coat materials, techniques, practices and technologies and determine optimum application rates and curing times to prevent tracking.

RS, etc.) can be misleading for tack coats due to the thin films used during this process. The five standard emulsions tested were generally within 10% of each other in terms of mass loss at a given cure time for all curing conditions and were all dry between 30 and 60 minutes.

The study also examined the influences of tack coat curing time, temperature, HMA type, and surface texture on the performance of tack coats. The study considered four tack coat materials: SS-1hp, high float emulsion (HFE), SS-1vh (very hard non track emulsion), and straight asphalt (PG 64-22). The tack coat was optimized at
