1、Standard Method of Test for Evaluation of Asphalt Release Agents AASHTO Designation: TP 102-12 1. SCOPE 1.1. This method covers the laboratory performance evaluation of asphalt release agents. These release agents are used for coating tools and truck beds to prevent asphalt binder or hot mix asphalt

2、 (HMA) from adhering. The release agents should perform this function without causing degradation (stripping) of the hot mix asphalt. 1.2. This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. It does not purport to address all safety concerns associated with its use. It is the r

3、esponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

In the 7-Day Asphalt Stripping Test, a specimen of hot mix asphalt binder is soaked in the release agent for seven days, alongside a control specimen of release agent with no h

7、ot mix asphalt . The specimens are evaluated at the end of the soak period to determine the degree of stripping that occurred.

8、 In the Mixture Slide Test, a specimen of hot mix asphalt is applied to a steel plate that has been treated with the release agent. The plate is tilted to allow the hot mix asphalt to slide free. This process is repeated two more times. The degree of adhesion to the plate is determined by gain in we

9、ight. 3.1.3. In the Asphalt Performance Test, hot asphalt binder is poured onto the treated plate, allowed to cool, and then peeled away. The degree of adhesion to the plate is determined by gain in weight. This process is repeated until 10 percent of the binder has adhered to the plate. The amount

10、of retained binder is recorded for each application cycle. 3.2. The specific gravity, percent solids, and infrared spectrum of the release agent are measured and recorded. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. The 7-Day Asphalt Stripping Test measures the tendency for the release agent to remove asphalt bind

11、er from the hot mix asphalt. The agent is evaluated in both its concentrated form and at the diluted concentration recommended for use by the manufacturer. 4.2. The Mixture Slide Test simulates a truck bed to determine the tendency of the asphalt to adhere to the bed when the release agent is used.

12、4.3. The Asphalt Performance Test measures the tendency for asphalt binder to adhere to truck beds or tools. 4.4. The hot mix asphalt used for testing is made under Superpave mix design standards to provide a mixture with repeatable behavior that will not tend to exhibit stripping when exposed to wa

13、ter. 4.5. The specific gravity, percent solids, and infrared spectrum are intended to be used as reference parameters to verify product formulations of future samples. 4.6. This method is intended to determine the properties of these materials. Acceptability of a material, based upon the data genera

14、ted as a result of the testing and evaluation in this practice, is the responsibility of the user. 4.7. Standard laboratory conditions are defined as a temperature of 24 4C (77 7F) and a relative humidity of 50 10 percent. 5. SEVEN-DAY ASPHALT STRIPPING TEST 5.1. Apparatus: 5.1.1. Jarseight (8) 0.5-
