iCCL Low Temperature For Composite Mastic PG
(incremental Creep for Cracking at Low temperature)
- RAP/ RAS and other additives affect properties of original binder; thus, need performance grading of binder in the mix
- Binder extraction is performed to evaluate the change in PG
- Extraction is a lengthy process involving use of chemicals
- There are also uncertainties with the extraction process
- Composite binder includes the fine portion of the mixture that is physically separated and includes all the effects of additives
- UPTiM on composite binder are reliable, precise, safe, time saving, and cost effective; while more representative of mixture
- UPTiM recovery method has been verified with extraction
