Emulsified asphalt used as a protective coating is specified by ASTM D1227 (10). These emulsions ate appHed above freezing by bmsh, mop, or spray, and bond to either damp or dry surfaces. Such appHcation is not recommended for inclines <4° to avoid the accumulation of water. However, curing by water evaporation can be slow, and these emulsions may remain water-susceptible. 

The modulus of elasticity can also influence the adhesion lifetime. Some sealants may harden with age as a result of plasticizer loss or continued cross-linking. As a sealant hardens, the modulus increases and more stress is placed on the substrate—sealant adhesive bond. If modulus forces become too high, the bond may faH adhesively or the substrate may faH cohesively, such as in concrete or asphalt. In either case the result is a faHed joint that wHl leak. 

The bonding properties of (Ti02) have been used for size-reinforcing of glass fibers so that they adhere to asphalt or to a PTEE—polysulfide mixture to impart enhanced flex endurance (434—436). Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solutions mixed with sucrose can be cross-linked with the lactic acid chelate and used generally for glass-fiber sizing (437). 

Finally, the combined reinforcing effect and high absorption capacity of asbestos fibers have been exploited in a variety of appHcations to increase dimensional stabiHty, typically in vinyl or asphalt tiles and asphalt toad surfacing. Figure 9 summarizes, as of 1984, the various classes of application for asbestos fibers in combination with other materials. The diagram shows that in recent years, most industrial appHcations have evolved towards composite materials where the fibers are bonded within an organic or inorganic matrix. 

A variety of other substances can provide the same reaction sulfur yields hydrogen sulfide chlorine yields hydrogen chloride. In some cases, some of the bonds created are quite weak resulting ia, after an iaduction period, a phenomenon termed "fallback." When fallback occurs, usually at a time when the hardened or oxidized asphalt is stored at or near the original processing or reaction temperature, softening of the asphalt is the result (28—31). 

Attempts have also been made to carry out surface modifications of the aggregate to enhance interactions with the asphalt (135) and other workers have made attempts to measure or predict the strength and type of asphalt—aggregate bonds (136,137). However, it must also be remembered that mix design parameters play an important role in determining the performance of asphalt—aggregate mixes (138—142). 

When the problem is to disrupt Ughtly bonded clusters or agglomerates, a new aspect of fine grinding enters. This may be iUustrated by the breakdown of pigments to incorporate them in liquid vehicles in the making of paints, and the disruption of biological cells to release soluble produces. Purees, food pastes, pulps, and the like are processed by this type of mill. Dispersion is also associated with the formation of emulsions which are basically two-fluid systems. Syrups, sauces, milk, ointments, creams, lotions, and asphalt and water-paint emulsions are in this categoiy. 

In the limit of high viscosity, immobile liquid bridges formed from materials such as asphalt or pitch fail by tearing apart the weakest bond. Then adhesion and/or cohesion forces are Lilly exploited, and binding ability is much larger. 

Membranes are applied directly to the metal or concrete surface to protect from corrosion by any liquor that penetrates the brick lining through pores and cracks. Membranes consist of sheet material bonded to the metal or concrete, e.g., flexible PVC sheet, or it may be formed in situ (e.g., polyester resin reinforced with glass fiber, or synthetic rubber sheet, lead, polyisobutylene, polyethylene and asphalt). 

Moisture Aims are frequently found under unbonded protective coatings of asphalt and plastic tapes. The nature and origin of this water is still unknown but is of great interest because of its relationship to bond failure, microbial utilisation of asphalt and hydrocarbons, and efficiency of cathodic protection. ... 

Recent trends in protective coatings used on buried pipelines have been away from reinforced hot applied coal tar and asphalt enamels and butyl rubber laminate tapes, particularly where applied over-the-ditch . The more recently developed coatings based on fusion bonded epoxies, extruded poly-ethylenes, liquid-applied epoxies and polyurethanes, require factory application where superior levels of pipe preparation and quality control of the application process can be achieved.

The most common dampproofing treatment for residential foundation walls is a parge coat covered with bituminous asphalt. The parge coat is used for concrete masonry walls but is not necessary for poured concrete walls. This two-stage treatment has been replaced by surface bonding cement in some areas. 

Protein glues are good for bonding rubber to steel, cork to plywood. Asphalt makes a good adhesive for roofing of homes. 

Metraxt is an aqueous system developed to clean up metals on solid surfaces. Metraxt can be applied as a foam blanket that allows application to overhead, vertical, and horizontal surfaces. This technology is formulated to extract heavy metals from concrete, asphalt, and metal surfaces by bonding with them. 

Asphalt—mbber is mixed and applied to roadways by several techniques. In one method, mbber and asphalt are mixed at ca 175—220°C for one to two hours. The hot mixture is applied to the roadway and covered with a layer of stone chips to form a chip seal. The mbber cmmb consists of scrap tires ground into particles less than 2 mm in diameter. Rubber-modified asphalt is also used for waterproofing membranes, crack-and-joint sealers, hot-mix binders, and roofing materials. The mbber improves asphalt ductility and increases its softening point. The aggregate adhesive bond is stronger, and the asphalt lasts longer. Production of rubber-modified asphalt has increased from 405 t in 1970 to 27,000 t in 1980 (41). Typically, about 2 t of mbber is used for 1 km of roadway. If it is assumed that asphalt—mbber contains ca 25% mbber and 75% asphalt, the potential demand for scrap mbber would be ca 40,500 t/yr, or ca 2% of the amount available. 

Because many aggregates are hydrophilic, difficulty may be experienced in obtaining or retaining a satisfactory asphalt-aggregate bond in the presence of moisture. This difficulty has been overcome in many instances by the use of special surface-active additives (33, 42, 61, 64, 80, 98, 111, 116). Certain of these have attained appreciable commercial significance, notably those of the cationic type.
