ASTM D4866-88(1997)e1

Standard Performance Specification for Coal Tar Pitch Emulsion Pavement Sealer Mix Formulations Containing Mineral Aggregates and Optional Polymeric Admixtures

SCOPE
1.1 This performance specification covers mixtures of emulsified coal-tar pitch (mineral colloid type), mineral aggregates, and optional polymeric admixtures that are used as a weather-protective and straight aliphatic hydrocarbon resistant coatings over bituminous pavements of airports, parking areas, and driveways.
1.2 The following safety hazards statement applies only to the test method portion, Section 6, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
