When 16 to 25% RAP is used: "The selected binder grade for the new asphalt is one grade lower for both the high and low temperature stiffness than the binder grade required for a asphalt. For example, if the specified binder grade for the mix is a PG 64-22, the required grade for the recycled mix would be a PG 58-28".

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a generic term that includes many different types of mixtures of aggregate and asphalt cement (binder) produced at elevated temperatures (generally between 300-350ºF) in an asphalt plant. Typically, HMA mixtures are divided into three mixture categories: dense-graded; open-graded; and gap-graded as a function of the ...

Asphalt Institute Technical Advisory Committee Approved 7 December 2016 The Asphalt Institute recommends that, for unmodified asphalt binders, the laboratory mixing and compaction temperatures should be determined where the viscosity-temperature line crosses the viscosity ranges of 0.17 ± 0.02 Pa-s (mixing temperature range) and 0.28 ± 0.03 Pa-s (compaction temperature range).

Asphalt pavement is usually approximately 95 percent aggregate, which could be stone, sand, or gravel, and 5 percent Asphalt cement as a binder. The binder is a product of oil refining and acts to glue the aggregates together.

Asphalt binder extraction from hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement mixes has not been sufficiently addressed in literature. The outcomes of extraction methods are still not reproducible to accurately and precisely evaluate the binder content (P b %) with respect to quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) process (1). The variation between ...

Hot mix asphalt or HMA is the designation given to asphalt mixtures that are heated and poured at temperatures between 300 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This type of asphalt is the most commonly used asphalt type in the United States for highways, interstates and roads due to its flexibility, weather resistance and ability to repel water.

The binder, which is sometimes called the base coat, is a load-bearing course consisting of aggregate and hot-mix asphalt. Because the binder must be strong, it typically contains aggregates that are approximately 0.75 inch in size. In addition to having the strength to bear the load, binder must have the ability to withstand seasonal ...

As the NCDOT Asphalt Index changes – up or down – on or about the 5th of each month, S.T. Wooten Corporation's prices will be adjusted to reflect the cost of asphalt cement. The following base prices (effective January 1, 2021) will be used to determine 2021 pricing. These prices are based on the December 2020 Index of $389.23 per ton.

The asphalt binder is typically 5-6% of the mixture, and serves to bind the aggregates together. Asphalt binder is a petroleum derivative, though additional materials are often added to modify the properties of the binder. Pike also produces specialty products like Warm Mix Asphalt …

Asphalt rubber is defined as a "blend of asphalt cement, reclaimed tire rubber and certain additives in which the rubber component is at least 15% by weight of the total blend and has reacted in the hot asphalt cement sufficiently to cause swelling of the rubber particles."

Stiffer binders may be required for certain mix types (e.g., both stone-matrix asphalt (SMA) and permeable friction course (PFC) require a minimum PG 76-XX binder) to insure reliable performance. Stiffer PG 70 or PG 76 binders are also commonly used for surface mixes in high traffic areas.

Once the binder is selected, several preliminary tests are run to determine the asphalt binder's temperature-viscosity relationship.
