GENERAL:

This specification governs the UPM® liquid asphalt blend utilized in the production of UPM permanent pavement repair material mix. The UPM liquid asphalt blend shall not strip from the approved aggregate and shall be available in various seasonal grades, which yield a total ambient temperature workability range of - 15°F (-26°C) to 100°F (38°C). The UPM liquid asphalt blend will impart to the aggregate qualities, which will allow the UPM mix to be effective and suitable for wet or dry weather conditions. The UPM liquid blend will give the patching mixture excellent coating, workability and adhesion characteristics. The resulting stockpiles of UPM cold mix of 100 tons or more must maintain all performance features for at least 12 months. See the UPM mix High-Performance Guarantee. UNIQUE Paving Materials Corp. (UNIQUE) will determine the appropriate grade of UPM liquid asphalt blend based on the region, season and approved aggregate.

TESTS ON RESIDUE FROM DISTILLATION:

Absolute Viscosity @ 140oF (60oC) ASTM D 2171 50 to 425 Poise (10-1 Pa x s)

Penetration, Modified with Cone ASTM D 51 180 minimum

Ductility, 39 oF (4oC), 1 cm/minute ASTM D 113 50 minimum Solubility in Trichloroethylene ASTM D 2042 99.0% minimum

Note 1 Make this test in accordance with ASTM Method D 5, except utilize a penetration cone in place of the standard penetration needle. The cone shall conform to the requirements given in ASTM Method D 217, except that the interior construction may be modified as one desires. The total moving weight of the cone and attachments must be 150.0 plus or minus 0.1 grams. Also, the level of the water in the transfer dish shall be lowered to less than the height of the sample cup and decant any water from the surface of the sample before transferring from the constant temperature bath to the penetrometer.
