413.10.3 Job Mix Formula (JMF). The manufacturer of the polymer-modified emulsion shall develop the job
mix formula for the specific materials to be used and shall present the JMF and certified test results at least 30 days prior to use for the engineer's approval. The JMF shall include raw data from the design process and contain the following information: (all percentages are based on the dry weight of the aggregate)
413.10.3 1 All Types and Grades. The minimum dry mass per unit area will be based on a bulk specific gravity
(BSG) of 2.65. The BSG of the final aggregate blend shall be determined and shown as part of the JMF criteria. If the BSG is different from 2.65 by more than 0.05, the above minimum masses shall be adjusted by dividing the specified unit mass by 2.65 and multiplying by the new BSG. (For example, for a new BSG = 3.15, the new minimum application rate for a Type II micro-surface would be 3.15(20.0/2.65) = 23.8 pounds per square yard). These adjusted values shall be designated on the JMF and will apply in the field.
413.10.3 2 Type II or Type III. If a specified thickness is required, the amount of mineral aggregate per square
yard shall be increased as necessary to obtain the thickness.
413.10.3 3 Two-Pass Type II and/or Type III. When specified, two passes of micro-surfacing (Type II/Type II,
Type III/Type III, or Type II/Type III) shall be applied, the first of which shall be to fill depressions and level the surface (bottom course) and the second pass as the final wearing surface (top course).
413.10.3 4 Type IIIR. For Type IIIR mixes, there will be no minimum or maximum unit quantities. The
contractor shall make the determination as to the amount necessary, except all depressed areas shall be filled level as specified. Type IIIR may be applied in more than one pass at the contractor’s expense. Type IIIR shall not be added to Type II or Type III applications in the field, but shall be a separate application.

the center at approximately 45 degrees. Interrupted flight augers shall be used ahead of the first strike-off plate to spread the mix and maintain laminar flow. The second strike-off plate shall be adjusted to produce the desired grade and depth. The first strike-off and augers shall be adjustable up and down in order to maintain a fairly uniform flow or roll of material in front of the second strike-off.
