SHOTACK

Asphalt Tackcoat


General Description:
Slow setting and low viscosity emulsified asphalt based on road bitumen, water, resins and special emulsifiers. Bituminous emulsion SHOTACK instead of RC cutback asphalt or hot road asphalt.


Advantages:
• High tacking effect leading to improvement of mechanical properties for the road.
• Money and time saving Is achieved, as no use of heating is required during any state of application.
• Less consumption in application than cutbacks.
• Does not affect the base bitumen properties. Uses:
• Tack coats between asphalt pavement layers. o Slurry - Fog Seals.
• Crack/Joint sealant for airport runways and taxiways.

Application method:
The applied surface must be clean without oils or any waste materials. SHOTACK is sprayed to the desirable surface with the appropriate equipment. Consumption:
Consumption depends on the sub-layer and its use: tack coats 0.4 - 0.6 kg/m2 (old surfaces), 0.2 - 0.4 kg/m2 (new surfaces). Surface treatments and core aggregates impregnation 1.0 - 1.2 kg/m2. Concrete sub-layer 0.8- 1.0kg/m2.

Storage:
From 100C to 60oC. In case of long period storage, advised to be thermo¬insulated tanks and having stirring or re-circulation system.
In case of packaging the emulsion in barrels the maximum storage period is one year in covered place.

Precautions:
Avoid skin and eye contact. In case of contact use plenty of water and seek medical advice. Appropriate means of self-protection must be used. Non toxic. It must not be disposed to surface and still water.
Specifications:
According to ASTM 0-977
