Asphalt Mat Defects and Slipcoat IRC Product Presentation Global - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Asphalt Mat Defects and Slipcoat™ IRC™ Product Presentation Global Barrier Services, Inc.

DIESEL FUEL ABUSE __________________________________________________________________________ • 5.4 million gallons of diesel fuel used as truck release per year • 3.8 million gallons used as paver cleaner, tool dip, and general solvent at asphalt plants • Equivalent of the Exxon Valdez oil spill every year in US alone

PREVENTING MAT DEFECTS __________________________________________________________________________ Apply Release Agent at the Plant Over application of water based release agents can cause steam stripping of aggregate and create cold spots in the load due to excessive pooling. Do Not Allow Trucks to Clean Out on Grade In Front of Paver A quality release agent mitigates the need for most clean out sites. Direct Trucks to a Location Where They Can Clean Out and Material Can Be Managed Apply Release Agent to Paver to Provide a Lubricating & Cleaning Action Diesel fuel strips the binder and creates and environmental and safety hazard.

PAVING INDUSTRY PROBLEMS __________________________________________________________________________ • Wasted Man Hours Cleaning Equipment • Mat Defects Caused by Inferior Release Agents • Asphalt Build-Up Creates Higher Life Cycle Costs • Segregation from Dribbling Material • Poor Quality Release Agents • Continued Diesel Fuel Abuse as a Cleaner and Release Agent

RELEASE AGENTS – AT THE PLANT __________________________________________________________________________ Utilized as a Drag Chain Lubricant and Cleaner Avoid Costly Fires by Preventing Diesel Usage Reduce Down Time and Minimize High Start-Up Amperage

TRUCK BED ISSUES __________________________________________________________________________ Dribbling Material is Prone to Segregation Cooler Crust Doesn’t Mix with Hot Load Truck Bed Mix Buildup Creates a Friction or Drag Zone That Impedes the Normal Flow of Mix Into the Paver

INFERIOR RELEASE AGENTS = PRODUCTIVITY LOSSES __________________________________________________________________________ Asphalt Buildup Creates Inefficiencies Increases Costs Due to Cleanout Time and Contracted Trucking Problems Contributes to the Abuse of Diesel Fuel Worn, Dented Beds Provide an Area for Sticking and Pooling of Water Based Release Agents

INFERIOR RELEASE AGENTS = PRODUCTIVITY LOSSES __________________________________________________________________________ Reduces Carry Load of Fresh Asphalt Increases Per Ton Costs Due to Decreased Carrying Capacity of Trucks Excessive Wear on Truck Beds Due to Hammering and Scraping

INFERIOR RELEASE AGENTS = MAT DEFECTS __________________________________________________________________________ Asphalt Buildup Hardens and Breaks Off Cold Blocks Do Not Mix Into a Homogenous State Cool – Hard Asphalt Creates Mat Defects

QUALITY RELEASE AGENTS __________________________________________________________________________ Cost Effective Solutions Provide Multiple Loads on a Single Application Eliminate Diesel Abuse Increase Efficiency

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Large Volumes of Material Dumped or Spilled by Trucks Compacted Pile Thicker than Mat Creates Potential Smoothness Issues Costly Cleanup Expenses for Cleanout Piles Alongside Paving Job

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Mat Shows Open Texture Thermal Image Shows Cold Spot Uneven Compaction and Poor Ride Smoothness Bonus Could Be Affected

RELEASE AGENTS – ON THE PAVER __________________________________________________________________________ Release Agents Applied to the Paver Provide a Cleaning and Lubricating Action Diesel Fuel Use Degrades the Mix Design Diesel is a Skin Irritant and Pollutes the Environment When Used as a Cleaner and Release

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ High Spots Caused by Material Dumped on Grade Trucks Clean Out Pulling Away from Paver Inadequate Release Agents Contribute To Sticking and Buildup

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Small Volumes of Uncompacted Mix Cause Defects Cold Mix Creates Temperature Variations Uncompacted Cold Material

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Fresh Mix Laid Over Cold Piles Cold Mix Just Under Surface Or Partially Exposed Uncompacted Cold Material

MAT DEFECTS – COLD ASPHALT CHUNKS __________________________________________________________________________ Small, Compacted Pile Usually Not Visible in Mat Surface Uneven Compaction Bump Fractured Aggregates Cold Compacted Material

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Pile Compacted by Truck or Paver Tires May be Completely Covered by Mat, Depending on Thickness

MAT DEFECTS – MATERIAL DUMPED ON GRADE __________________________________________________________________________ Mat May Not Show Any Visual Defect Thermal Image Shows Cold Pile Spread by Screed From Small Pile of Cold Mix Uneven Compaction Results May Result in a Bump

COMPACTION ISSUES – TIRE PICK-UP __________________________________________________________________________ Non-Stick Emulsions and Soap Solutions Help Prevent Pick-Up Hand Held Sprayers or On- Board Water Spray Apply to Clean Tires Before Rolling Begins Discontinue After Tires Heat Up Re-Apply if Tires Cool

COMPACTION ISSUES – TIRE PICK-UP __________________________________________________________________________ Tires Too Cool, Stay Close to Paver Apply Release Agent to Prevent Tire Pick-Up Keep Tires Hot Use Tire Skirts Some Contractors Use Tire Heaters Radial Tires Pick-Up Less

RELATIVE COSTS COMPARISON __________________________________________________________________________ Aggregate $8.00 Binder $10.00 Plant $4.00 Trucking $5.00 Laydown $10.00 Release Agent $0.10 Release Agent Cost .0005%

Why Choose Global Barrier Services, Inc. Slipcoat™ IRC™ Product?

PAST PROBLEMS WITH MOST ASPHALT RELEASE INDUSTRY OPTIONS __________________________________________________________________________ • Are Toxic* • Damage the Asphalt Mix* • Provide Poor to Moderate Results • Leave Significant Residue Behind on Truck Beds • Require Labor Time for Mixing Release Agent Solution • Evaporate at High Temperatures* • Freeze at Low Temperatures • One Load of Asphalt per Bed Application* • Large Amounts of Product is Required Per Application* * Includes Diesel

SLIPCOAT™ IRC™ IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT: __________________________________________________________________________ • Is over 99% Biodegradable • Is Certified USDA BioPreferred • Does Not Negatively Effect Asphalt or Equipment • Provides Superior Results with All Types of Asphalt • Removes Residue from Truck Beds Without Harming Paint • Ready to Use – Does NOT Require Mixing • Does Not Evaporate at High Temperatures • Does Not Freeze at Low Temperatures • Allows for 3 or More Asphalt Loads on Just One Application • Utilizes Convenient, Advanced Filming Technology

BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY PROVIDING PRODUCTIVITY & RESULTS __________________________________________________________________________ Slipcoat™ IRC™ Utilizes Unique Filming Technology to Provide an Ultra-Thin Layer of Release at Application Rates Up To 10 x Less Than Conventional, Water Based Release Agents

DELIVERS CONSISTENT RESULTS REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ASPHALT MIX __________________________________________________________________________ Slipcoat™ IRC™ is Extensively Used with the Following Types of Asphalt: SuperPave PG (Performance Grade) SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt) SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) SBA (Styrene Butadiene Amene) Novachip OGFC (Open Grade Friction Coarse)

APPLICATION OF SLIPCOAT™ IRC™ ON PAVING EQUIPMENT __________________________________________________________________________ • Slipcoat™ IRC™ Utilizes a Unique Filming Technology to Provide a Thin Layer of Product, Creating a Barrier and Providing a Cleaning Action on the Equipment. • Regardless of the Type of Asphalt Mix Being Run, Slipcoat™ IRC™ Provides a Unique Releasing Action to Keep Equipment Free From Buildup and Operating at Peak Efficiency. • Slipcoat™ IRC™ Also Provides a Lubricating and Corrosion Control Action to Ensure That Moving Parts Are Performing Correctly, Which Reduces Maintenance Time.
