472.1 472.3

472.1DESCRIPTION —This work is the treatment of a n asphalt seal coat with an application of asphalt

material .

472.2MATERIAL —

(a)Emulsified Asphalt Material . One of the following from a manufacturer listed in Bulletin 15 .

TABLE A Fog Seal Materials Application Temperature (F) Class of Material Type of Material Minimum Maximum CSS-1h Cationic Emulsified Asphalt 70 150 SS-1h Emulsified Asphalt 70 150 SS-1hP Polymer -Modified Emulsified Asphalt 70 150 CSS-1hP Cationic Polymer -Modified Emulsified Asphalt 70 150 If required or directed, dilute emulsified materials using emulsion and water or a compatible emulsifying solution . Do not exceed dilution of less than 38 % asphalt residue. All dilution must be done by the emulsi fied asphalt supplier at the emulsi fied asphalt supplier plant location. Provide a Bill of Lading from the emulsi fied asphalt supplier certifying the base emulsified asphalt properties before dilution, the quantity of emulsified asphalt, and the water added for dilution , or certify the diluted product . Diluted emulsified asphalt must be applied within 48 hours after dilution. Dilution of asphalt emulsion in the field is not allowed .

TABLE B Fast Break Fog Seal Materials Application Temperature (F) NTT Non-Tracking Tack 140 180 CNTT Cationic Non -Tracking Tack 140 180 *Proprietary Fast Break Materials *As listed in Bulletin 15 * * • Do not dilute NTT/CNTT.

• *Proprietary Fast Break Fog Seals Materials : Conditionally approved in Bulletin 15 according to manufacturer's recommendations . Application Temperatures according to manufacturer's recommendations . If dilution is allowed according to manufacturer’s recommendations , do not exceed dilution of less than 38% asphalt residue . Dilution of asphalt emulsion in the field is not allowed .

• All Fast Break Fog Seal Materials must achieve a break/cure within 30 minutes or less.

(b)Fine Aggregate (Cover Sand) . Type A , Type B1, or B3 , Section 703.1

472.3CONSTRUCTION —Place the fog seal on a n asphalt seal coat constructed as specified in Section
