About this file
This document is a Material Specification (MS Spec. 164-004) issued by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, specifically detailing specifications for Polymer Modified Asphaltic Materials used in road maintenance. The specification provides comprehensive technical requirements for two grades of polymer modified asphalt cement: PG76-22m and PG70-22m, including detailed testing protocols for various properties such as rotational viscosity, dynamic shear, flash point, solubility, polymer separation, mass change, creep recovery, and performance under different temperature and stress conditions.
The specification establishes strict quality control measures, including requirements for storage tank cleanliness, sampling procedures, and acceptance criteria. It outlines precise deviation tolerances for different material properties, with provisions for payment adjustments if materials do not meet the specified standards. The document also includes a separate table (Table 2) for Anionic Emulsified Asphalt (SS-1h), providing additional technical specifications for different asphalt emulsion characteristics. Notably, the specification emphasizes that all materials must be from the Approved Materials List and must be prepared through petroleum refining, with uniform characteristics and no foaming when heated to 350 degrees.

SPECIFICATIONS
POLYMER MODIFIED ASPHALTIC MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION:
These specifications cover polymer modified asphaltic materials for road maintenance.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Polymer modified asphalt shall be prepared by the refining of petroleum. It shall be uniform in character, free from water, and shall not foam when heated to 350º. Asphalt shall be from the Approved Materials List.
Storage tanks, piping, retorts, booster tanks, distributors and other equipment used in delivering, storing or handling asphaltic materials shall be kept clean and in good operating condition and shall be operated in such manner as to avoid contamination of the contents with foreign materials.
Test methods shall be the latest in effect in addition to the ones included in this specification.
Final test results for polymer modified asphaltic materials will be applied to the proper table herein for conformance to specifications. Any deviation from the specifications will result in a payment adjustment as specified. If test results are such that a price adjustment would result from more than 1 test value, the payment adjustment for the greatest reduction shall apply.
The adjustment in pay for polymer modified asphaltic materials shall be applied only to samples taken at the point of delivery. Samples taken at the refinery shall conform to specification requirements; if the refinery sample fails to meet these requirements, the material will be rejected and shall not be shipped.
SAMPLING:
Sampling will be in accordance with the Materials Sampling Manual.

1Tank mixers are required. Submit written documentation of tank cleaning annually.
2The rotational viscosity will be measured to determine product uniformity. The rotational viscosity measured by the supplier shall be noted on the Certificate of Delivery. A binder having a rotational viscosity of 3.0 Pa·s or less will typically have adequate mixing and pumping capabilities. Binders with rotational viscosity values higher than 3.0 Pa·s should be used with caution and only after consulting with the supplier as to any special handling procedures and guarantees of mixing and pumping capabilities.
3Not all polymers are soluble in the specified solvents. If the polymer modified asphalt digested in the solvent will not pass the filter media, a sample of the base asphalt used in making the polymer modified asphalt should be tested for solubility.
If the solubility of the base asphalt is at least 99.0%, the material will be considered as passing.
4Prepare samples per ASTM D7173. Determine softening point of top and bottom per AASHTO T 53.
