What it is
Binder-coated aggregate is exposed progressively to specified solutions and visually assessed for stripping.
SANAS T1018
Public test guide
Assesses how strongly bituminous binder remains attached to aggregate in the presence of water.
Plain-language explanation
The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.
Binder-coated aggregate is exposed progressively to specified solutions and visually assessed for stripping.
Prepared aggregate, binder, controlled heating/mixing tools, specified solutions and visual rating criteria.
An adhesion or stripping classification under the method conditions.
Supports aggregate-binder compatibility assessment and identification of moisture-damage risk.
Typical test sequence
Coat the prepared aggregate with binder
Expose it to the specified solution sequence
Assess stripping and report the adhesion class
