18 Tack Coat Definitions Undiluted Emulsion - an emulsion which consists primarily of a paving grade asphalt binder, water, and an emulsifying agent. Diluted Emulsion - an emulsion with additional water added to it. The most common dilution rate is 1:1 (one part undiluted emulsion and one part additional water). Residual Asphalt - the remaining asphalt after an emulsion has set, typically percent of the undiluted emulsion. Tack Coat Break - the moment when water separates enough from the asphalt to show a color change from brown to black. Tack Coat Set - when all the water has evaporated, leaving only the residual asphalt. Some refer to this as completely broken. Literature Review
19 What s wrong (if anything) with the following specification regarding application rate?: Apply the tack coat at a rate of 0.05 gallons/yd 2 Literature Review
20 What difference does it make? If the example spec intended 0.05 gal/yd 2 of residual asphalt: Undiluted emulsion applied at 0.05 gal/yd 2 using an emulsion with 60% residual asphalt, leaves 0.03 gal/yd 2 on the roadway. 40% less than intended Literature Review
21 What difference does it make? If the example spec intended 0.05 gal/yd 2 of residual asphalt: Diluted Emulsion using the same emulsion diluted 1:1 with water and applied at 0.05 gal/yd 2 leaves gal/yd 2 on the roadway. 70% less than intended Literature Review
22 What difference does it make? If the example spec intended 0.05 gal/yd 2 of residual asphalt: To receive Residual Asphalt at 0.05 gal/yd 2 using an emulsion with 60% residual asphalt, the contractor would need to apply: gal/yd 2 of Original Emulsion or gal/yd 2 of 1:1 Diluted Emulsion Literature Review
23 Tack Coat Specifications discusses ways agencies have specified issues related to tack coats provides information about: methods of material acceptance how tack is paid for by agencies tack coat material dilution tack coat application rates Literature Review
24 Tack Coat Specifications Most agencies specify tack coat materials using the following AASHTO specifications, or some form of them: Asphalt Emulsions M 140 anionic emulsions M 208 cationic emulsions M 316 polymer-modified cationic emulsions Asphalt Cutbacks M 81 rapid curing M 82 medium curing Straight Binders M 320 Performance Graded Asphalt Binder M 332 Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder Using Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) Test Literature Review

26 Top 5 Emulsions Used 1.CSS-1h (52%) 2.Non-standard* (48%) 3.SS-1h (46%) 4.SS-1 (36%) 5.CSS-1 (28%) * Non-standard means that a state has come up with its own nomenclature for an emulsion, outside those specified in AASHTO M 140 (Anionic Emulsions), M 208 (Cationic Emulsions), or M 316 (Polymer-Modified Cationic Emulsions) Examples: SS-1hp, CRS-2h, EBL Agency Survey
27 Top Reduced Tracking Emulsion Used 1. NTSS-1hm (24%) Others specified (all by less than 3% of the states) CBC-1H CBC-1HT EM-50-TT E-Tac NTCQS-HH NTCQS-1HM NTCRS-1HM NTCRS-1HSP NTHAP NTT PATT UltraFuse UltraTack Non-tracking tacks are designed to improve the pavement performance by avoiding the tracking problems associated with traditional tacks. This material is typically manufactured to harden quickly and adhere minimally to tires. When a hot lift of asphalt is subsequently placed over the tack, the hardened tack is reactivated by the heat, and bonds the new overlay with the existing surface. (Seo, 2016) Agency Survey
28 Material Acceptance Most agencies accept material using one or more of the following methods: Approved Source List specifies pre-approved products and sources typically maintained on the agency s web site Supplier Certification agency relies on supplier testing requires document certifying material meets agency specs Testing of Samples samples from supplier or field project verify product meets AASHTO specs, some agencies also verify performance via some form of bond strength test Literature Review
29 How is tack paid for? 34% 66% Individual Pay Item Incidental to Paving Why is this important? Little incentive for sufficient tack application if not a direct pay item Agency Survey
30 * How is tack measured for pay? By volume volume of undiluted of undiluted emulsion emulsion - 58% By mass mass of undiluted of undiluted emulsion emulsion - 36% By volume or or mass of of diluted emulsion By volume or mass of residual asphalt - By area (square area yards) (square - 6% (2/33) yards) 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% * Some states pay by more than one method, so % s do not add up to 100 Agency Survey
31 Emulsion Storage and Handling emulsions are the most commonly-used materials for tack coats care needs to be taken to make sure material doesn t separate insulated storage tanks gentle agitation proper temperature range avoid contamination consult supplier for compatibility information Literature Review
32 Tack Coat Construction Practices provides detailed findings on agencies and contractors best practices regarding the application of tack coat in the construction phase discusses: training and communication tack coat application rates dilution issues surface preparation application best practices asphalt distributors vehicle tracking of tack coat Literature Review

35 What are avg. application rates? Agency Survey
36 APP. RATE SPECIFIED BY: How is application rate specified? 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Agency Survey
37 Dilution: Pros and Cons Agencies in the U.S. are fairly evenly split regarding whether or not dilution is allowed Dilution Pros larger liquid volume allows easier flow larger liquid volume allows easier overlap of fans Dilution Cons risk of losing control of the product requires additional time to break increased risk of tack flowing off roadway surface * The FHWA/Asphalt Institute Tack Coat Workshop recommended that emulsions used for tack coat should not be diluted. Literature Review
38 Is Dilution of Emulsified Tack Allowed? Dilution Recommendations 52% 48% Verify dilution amount Dilution cannot be used to stretch tack Residual value is key Dilution Allowed 48% (24/50) Dilution Not Allowed 52% (26/50) Agency Survey

41 Surface Preparation for Tack Why is a clean surface Important? Literature Review
42 Surface Preparation for Tack Power brooming is the most commonly-used method of cleaning the roadway surface Literature Review
43 Surface Cleaning Methods Power Brooming: 41% (25/57) 33% 2% 24% 41% Both Brooming and Air Blowing or Vacuum: 25% (15/57) Any of Multiple Specified Methods: 2% (1/57) Clean, but Method not Specified: 33% (20/57) Agency Survey
44 Clean, But Must Surface Be Dry? Literature Review found various viewpoints The goal of surface preparation is to produce a clean, dry 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. (NAPA s QIP 128 Best Practices for Emulsion Tack Coats, 2013) NCHRP Report 712 determined that for the effect of water on tacked surfaces in the majority of cases, there was no statistically significant difference between wet and dry conditions Literature Review

60 Tracking of Tack Coat Literature Review
61 Methods Used to Minimize Tracking tack coat must break tack coat must set requires the use of reduced-tracking tack materials allows the use of reduced-tracking tack materials requires the use of spray pavers allows the use of spray pavers sanding of tack coat materials after application allows wetting/dampening of pavement before other method tracking or pickup continues to be a problem Agency Survey 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
62 Spray Examples Paver of Illustrations spray pavers Literature Review 62
63 Spray Paver Pros and Cons PROS No time for dust and debris to settle on tack coat surface No tracking of the tack CONS Lack of time for tack to break properly Must rely on proper maintenance and calibration because spray pattern difficult to see Literature Review 63
