Asphalt Tack Coat

504.01 DESCRIPTION. Prepare and treat existing asphalt or portland

cement concrete pavement surfaces with asphalt material in accordance with these specifications and in conformity with the lines and grades shown on the plans or established.

504.02 ASPHALT MATERIALS. Use an undi luted asphalt emulsion

Grade NTSS -1HM, CRS -2P, CSS -1H, SS -1H, SS -1L or PET as required by Section 501 , Section 502 , and Section 507 and as listed on the Approved Materials List and comply with Section 1002 .

504.03 WEATHER LIMITATIONS. Do not apply asphalt tack coat on a

wet surface or when the ambient air temperature is below 40°F. For full depth patching, do not place asphalt tack coat when ambient air temperature is below 35°F.

504.04 EQUIPMENT. Provide equipment for applying asphalt material

and pr epare the surface to be tacked. Apply with equipment conforming to

503.13.1 and 503.15.1 . A hand -held pressure nozzle may be used for tack

coat application in lieu of the spray bar/tachometer combination for irregular sections or short sections of 1500 feet or less.

505.01 DESCRIPTION. An asphalt prime coat is used to seal newly

constructed unbound and/or un -stabilized base courses. Prepare and treat a surface with asphalt material in conformance with these specifications and in conformity with lines shown on the plans or established.

505.02 ASPHALT MATERIALS. Prime coat shall be cutback asphalt

Grade MC -30, MC -70, or AEP Emulsified Asphalt complying with Section 1002 .

505.03 WEATHER LIMITATIONS. Do not a pply MC-30 and MC -70

materials on a wet surface. Do not apply asphalt prime coat when ambient air temperature is less than 35°F in the shade.

505.04 EQUIPMENT. Provide the necessary equipment for proper

construction of the work. Apply with equipment conform ing to 503.13.1 . A hand -held pressure nozzle may be used for prime coat application in lieu of the spray bar/tachometer combination for irregular sections or short sections of 1500 feet or less.

505.05 SURFACE PREPARATION. Shape the surface to be coated to

required grade and section. Assure that the surface is free from ruts, corrugations, segregated material or other irregularities, and compact to required density. Delays in priming may necessitate reprocessing or reshaping to provide a smooth, compacted surface.

505.06 APPLICATION. Extend prime coat 6 inches beyond the wid th

of surfacing shown on the plans. Do not apply the prime coat until the surface has been satisfactorily prepared. Apply prime coat at the rates and temperatures shown in Table 505-1.
