What is the difference between hot asphalt and cold asphalt?
Hot mix asphalt is is heated for application, which thins the material. Remember those steaming metal buckets you used to see on industrial rooftops? Cold asphalt is liquified with something else besides heat. There are two kinds: Emulsified asphalt is mixed with water and an emulsifying agent. Think of it like salad dressing that does not separate in the bottle. The other kind is called Cutback asphalt and is mixed with a petroleum solvent such as naptha, gasoline, or kerosene. They both are liquids at ambient temperature when applied; then the solvent or water evaporates, leaving the asphalt behind. Look up at asphaltinstitute.org
What is hot mix asphalt?
The main asphalt paving product is hot mix asphalt, in which asphalt cement is used to bind a mixture of stone, sand, and gravel.
How do you dispose of cutback asphalt properly?
asphalt plants that produce emulsified asphalt can recycle it so some will take it for free
What is the longetiviity of asphalt shingles?
Asphalt shingles typically last between and 15 and 30 years. It varies depending on the quality of your asphalt shingles
Can you use cement to tile on an asphalt floor?
If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.

How do you calculate the spray rate of asphalt prime coat?
AR = RAR / RAC Where: AR = application or shot rate of undiluted prime RAR = specified residual application rate RAC = residual asphalt content of prime There is good agreement in the literature on application rates. The Asphalt Institute recommends application rates of 0.9 to 2.3 L/m2 (0.2 to 0.5 gal/yd2) for MC cutbacks and 0.5 to 1.4 L/m2 per 25 mm of depth (0.1 to 0.3 gal/yd2/in depth) for asphalt emulsions. Others recommend from 0.65 L/m2 to 2.0 L/m2 (0.15 to 0.45 gal/yd2) . Application rates should vary based on the openness of the base and no more prime should be placed than can be absorbed by the granular base in 24 hours. Any excess should be removed with blotter sand.
What is the difference between cold mix asphalt and cutback asphalt?
Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of aggregate and asphalt. Cutback asphalt is a liquid asphalt. Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of Aggregate and Asphalt. The Asphalt is usually am emulsion asphalt or a cutback asphalt. An emulsion asphalt is asphalt cement blended with water.
