Tack Coat Costs A recent Asphalt Institute investigation showed the cost of tack coats on new or reconstructed facilities was 0.1-0.2% of the total project costs. On the mill and overlay projects, tack coat was 1.0-2.0% of those project costs. If a bond failure occurred and …

The MS-43 Asphalt Tack Bond Shear Strength Apparatus is used in a Marshall Stability Test Load Frame to measure the shear strength of tack coat material between two asphalt layers. The heavy steel frame holds fixed and moveable shear plates. The moveable plate is centered over the shear plane and features roller bearings to minimize drag.

Tack coat should be applied in an even layer that covers at least 90 percent of the pavement's surface. However, the amount of tack coat needed is not the same for all applications. New asphalt pavement requires a thinner layer of tack coat, while aged pavement will need a thicker layer. A thicker layer of tack coat may be needed if applying ...

Asphaltic emulsions are also used for other purposes, such as curing seals for lime stabilization and cement-treated base and for coating the surface of cement-treated permeable ...

Description. Tack coats have been the focus of significant interest in the asphalt paving world for the past decade. Properly bonded layers are a vital requirement of an asphalt pavement's structural system. Pavement distresses associated with poor bonding include slippage cracks, layer delamination, fatigue and top-down cracking, and potholes.

An asphalt emulsion is a combination of asphalt binder (asphalt cement), water, and a very small amount of emulsifying agent (normally less than 1 percent). Typical asphalt emulsions consist of 55 to 70 percent asphalt binder, depending on the grade of the emulsion. Most grades of asphalt emulsion used for tack coat applications contain ...

Asphalt Emulsions: The clean bond coat is a slow setting anionic asphalt emulsion specifically designed to be very stable and allow for a shorter return to traffic and overlay. The tack coat cures very quickly and provides a non-tracking, non-tacky finish. Clean Bond Coat can be used for a number of applications such as tack coats, fog seals ...

• Residual Asphalt—the remaining asphalt after an emulsion has set typically 57-70 percent. • Tack Coat Break—the moment when water separates enough from the asphalt showing 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.

Asphalt Institute (AI) has been educating its members on proper tack coat usage and practices that improve pavement bonding since at least 2015. Earlier this year, AI's Regional Engineer, Dave Johnson, P.E., joined us for a webinar on the Role of Bond Strength in Road Performance to further this position.

Tac Coat is the application of an asphalt binder (bitumen emulsion) between layers of asphalt pavement to create a bonded pavement unit. Tack coat glues the overlay to the bottom layer preventing that from sliding and delamination. This material prevents the pavement from structural distress, such as fatigue cracks, and reduces rutting and shoving.

A tack coat is a very thin layer of asphalt that is placed between regular layers to enhance bonding. It is not always necessary, depending on the application and the amount of usage that is predicted. However, even on smaller jobs, tack coating can provide some protection against asphalt failure. Ask your asphalt expert whether tack coating is ...

Little attention is often paid to tack coat operations by both contractors and the agencies, and pavement performance suffers. Listen to our FREE tack coats webinar today.

For the very common tack coat emulsion—SS1h—the SS means slow setting, the 1 means it is a lower viscosity asphalt, and the h means it is a stiffer base asphalt. This denotation was developed by the Asphalt Institute, and in addition to slow setting, also includes rapid-setting (RS), medium-setting (MS) and quick-setting (QS) emulsions.
