A pretest number will then be <br />assigned by the State Materials Office which shall be furnished with all emulsified asphalt <br />delivered to the project. The pretest number shall be valid for six months from the date of <br />issue. <br />The Department may sample and test pretested emulsified asphalt from the <br />suppliers storage tank, the Contractors transport tank and /or distributor to verify and <br />determine compliance with this and other specification requirements. Where these tests <br />identify material outside specification requirements, the State Materials Engineer may <br />require the supplier to cease shipment of that pretested emulsified asphalt product. Further <br />shipment of that pretested emulsified asphalt product to Department projects may remain <br />suspended until the cause of the problem is evaluated and corrected by the supplier as <br />necessary to the satisfaction of the State Materials Engineer. <br />916 -5 Liquid Anti -strip Agents: <br />916 -5.1 Requirements: Liquid anti -strip agents shall be tested by the Department in <br />accordance with FM 5 -508. Tensile strength ratios will be calculated for the following two <br />conditions and expressed as percentages: 1) conditioned mixture without anti -strip to <br />unconditioned mixture without anti -strip and 2) conditioned mixture with anti -strip to <br />unconditioned mixture without anti - strip. A 20% gain in tensile strength ratio for condition <br />#2 as compared to condition #1 shall be required. <br />916 -5.2 Qualified Products List: Liquid anti -strip agents supplied under this <br />Specification shall be one of the products included on the Qualified Products List (QPL) as <br />specified in 6 -1. Liquid anti -strip agents meeting the criteria in 916 -5.1 will be considered <br />for inclusion on the Department's (QPL). For each liquid anti -strip agent, the supplier will <br />submit to the State Materials Office one pint of a representative sample of liquid anti -strip <br />agent when submitting the Product Evaluation Application.
