Tack coat (also known as bond coat) is a light application of asphalt emulsion between hot mix asphalt layers designed to create a strong adhesive bond without slippage. Heavier applications may be used under porous layers or around patches where it also functions as a seal coat.
Get MoreTack coats are a vital component of an asphalt pavement's structural system as they bond the multiple asphalt lifts into one monolithic layer. Poor tack coat application results in poor bonding of the asphalt layers. The usual pavement distresses associated with poor or no tack coat is slippage cracks (typically at locations where traffic is …
Get MoreDilution. Sometimes emulsified asphalt tack coats are diluted with water to increase the total volume of liquid while maintaining the same volume of asphalt binder within the emulsion. This can help achieve a more uniform application without applying excessive amounts of asphalt binder. Dilution should be avoided if possible due to the various problems that can result from improper dilution (e ...
Get MoreAn 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 …
