Problem Statement
Interlayer bond is critical to performance
Tack coat is the sole material bonding layers
Optimum tack coat application must be identified
![Page 3: Best Practices for Implementation of Tack Coat](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5681645f550346895dd63701/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Objectives
Assess laboratory performance of tack coats
Determine optimal residual application rate of tack coats
Evaluate field-optimal tack coat application
Optimize tack coat materials, application rate, placement methods, and surface preparation techniques

Research Performed
FIELD TEST
I-80 - 26 test sections 3 existing surfaces: milled HMA, milled
PCC, and fresh binder stone mastic asphalt (SMA)
Illinois 98 – 19 sections 1 existing surface – milled HMA

Findings
Specify tack coat application rate based on residual AC rate, not truck applicator rate
Developed optimal application rates for all possible surfaces
Identified methods for surface cleaning that provide best bond strength
Determined viable options for rapid set tack coats
Emulsions outperformed cutbacks
![Page 8: Best Practices for Implementation of Tack Coat](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/5681645f550346895dd63701/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why were Findings Important? Identification of the optimum
tack coat application rate will Ensure cost-effective and efficient
tack coat application Enhance pavement performance Help the industry to better optimizeresources

Recommendations
Based on this research, and the good correlation of laboratory and field results, new products in the future can be tested in the laboratory to determine their expected performance in the field

Benefits Improved Pavement
performance Reduced
delamintation Improved rutting
resistance Faster opening to
traffic Some of the tested
products allow traffic over tack coat (trackless tack coat)
