 Note: Most asphalt emulsions are clay stabilized. Chemical stabilization is more difficult & costly and not even used east of the Rocky Mountains as far as we know.

Wearability is determined by use, emulsion, water, modification level, sand size and amount, and temperature and application technique.

**P-107 exhibits higher temperature strengths. P-107 exhibits greater flexural properties, but is less abrasion resistant in some applications.

*Asphaltic Emulsions used for testing were not a specific manufactured product or brand and no inference is made to any specific manufactured product or brand.

This information is made available for guideline purposes only and is not intended for specification purposes.

End-user should always determine the proper merchantability and suitability of particular mix designs and products for the intended specific use.

 

*This chart assumes the reader is familiar with the difference in sealers which are clay stabilized asphalt emulsions and chemically stabilized asphalt emulsions and knows which type product they are/will be using.
