    SECTION 916
    BITUMINOUS MATERIALS

    916-1 General.
    All products supplied under this Specification shall be one of the products included on
    the Approved Product List (APL). Producers seeking evaluation of a product for inclusion on the
    APL shall submit an application in accordance with Section 6.
    For liquid anti-strip agents, in addition to the above, producers shall include a report of
    test results from an independent laboratory confirming the material meets the requirements of
    this section. In lieu of submitting test results from an independent laboratory, the Department
    will evaluate the material. For each liquid anti-strip agent, the producer will submit one pint of a
    representative sample of liquid anti-strip agent to the State Materials Office when submitting the
    APL application to the Department’s Product Evaluation Section.
    Any marked variation from the original test values for a material below the established
    limits or evidence of inadequate quality control or field performance of a material will be
    considered sufficient evidence that the properties of the material have changed, and the material
    will be removed from the APL.

    916-2 Superpave PG Asphalt Binder:


    916-2.1 Requirements: Superpave Performance Graded (PG) asphalt binders, identified
    as PG 52-28, PG 58-22, PG 67-22, polymer modified asphalt (PMA) binders, PG 76-22 (PMA)
    and PG 82-22 (PMA), and asphalt rubber binders (ARB), PG 76-22 (ARB), shall meet the
    requirements of 916-2 and AASHTO M332-14. All PG asphalt binders shall meet the following
    additional requirements:
    1. The intermediate test temperature at 10 rad/sec. for the Dynamic Shear
    Rheometer (DSR) test (AASHTO T315-12) shall be 26.5ºC for PG grades PG 67 and higher.
    2. An additional high temperature grade of PG 67 is added for which the high test
    temperature at 10 rad/sec for the DSR test (AASHTO T315-12) shall be 67ºC.
    3. All PG asphalt binders having a high temperature designation of PG 67 or
    lower shall be prepared without modification.
    4. All PMA binders having a high temperature designation higher than PG 67
    shall only be produced with a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) or styrene-butadiene (SB)
    elastomeric polymer modifier and the resultant binder shall meet all requirements of this Section.
    5. Polyphosphoric acid may be used as a modifier not exceeding 0.75% by weight
    of asphalt binder for PG 76-22 (PMA), PG 76-22 (ARB), and PG 82-22 (PMA) binders.
    6. PG 76-22 (ARB) shall meet the additional requirements of 916-2.1.1.
    7. All PG asphalt binders having a high temperature designation of PG 67 or
    lower shall not have a high temperature true grade more than 5.9°C higher than the specified PG
    grade, (for example, if a PG 58-22 is specified, do not supply a PG 64-22 or higher).
    For all PG binder used in all hot mix asphalt, silicone may be added to the PG
    binder at the rate of 25 cubic centimeters of silicone mixed to each 5,000 gallons of PG binder. If
    a disbursing fluid is used in conjunction with the silicone, the resultant mixture containing the
    full 25 cubic centimeters of silicone shall be added in accordance with the manufacturer’s
    recommendation. The blending of the silicone with the PG binder shall be done by the supplier
    prior to the shipment. When the asphalt binder will be used with a foaming warm mix
    technology, refer to the technology supplier’s guidance on the addition of silicone.
    (REV 5-19-15) (FA 7-13-15) (1-16) Includes 9160000

    Where an anti-strip additive is required, per the requirements of Sections 334 and
    337, the amount shall be from 0.25% to 0.75% by weight of asphalt binder. The anti-strip
    additive shall meet the requirements of 916-4. The anti-strip additive shall be introduced into the
    PG binder by the supplier during loading.
    916-2.1.1 Additional Requirements for PG 76-22 (ARB): The following
    additional requirements apply only to PG 76-22 (ARB):
    1. The asphalt binder shall contain a minimum of 7.0% ground tire rubber
    (GTR) by weight of asphalt binder.
    2. The GTR shall meet the requirements of Section 919.

    4. Use of excess PG 76-22 (ARB): The Contractor may use excess PG 76-
    22 (ARB) in other asphalt concrete mixes requiring the use of a PG 67-22 binder by blending
    with straight PG 67-22 binder so that the total amount of ground tire rubber in the binder is less
    than 2.0%. The Contractor may use excess PG 76-22 (ARB) in asphalt concrete mixtures
    requiring the use of a PG 52-28 or PG 58-22 by blending with the designated binder in such
    proportions that the total amount of ground tire rubber in the binder is less than 1.0%.
    916-2.2 Compliance with Materials Manual: Producers of Superpave PG binders shall
    meet the requirements of Section 3.5, Volume II of the Department’s Material Manual, which
    may be viewed at the following URL:

    916-4 Liquid Anti-strip Agents.


    916-4.1 Requirements: Liquid anti-strip agents shall be tested in accordance with FM 5-
    508. Tensile strength ratios will be calculated for the following two conditions and expressed as
    percentages:
    1. conditioned mixture without anti-strip to unconditioned mixture without anti-
    strip, and
    2. conditioned mixture with anti-strip to unconditioned mixture without anti-strip.
    A 20% gain in tensile strength ratio for condition 2 as compared to condition 1 shall be
    required.
    916-4.2 Mix Design Verification: Inclusion of a liquid anti-strip agent on the APL does
    not guarantee that the anti-strip will be approved for use in an asphalt mixture. Specifications
    may require subsequent moisture susceptibility testing per FM 1-T283 for the particular mix
    design. Results from this testing may indicate the need for a larger dosage rate of anti-strip agent
    (up to 0.75% maximum) or a different anti-strip agent to meet the specification requirements.
