Public test guide

Riedel and Weber binder adhesion

Assesses how strongly bituminous binder remains attached to aggregate in the presence of water.

Plain-language explanation

What the test tells you.

The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.

01

What it is

Binder-coated aggregate is exposed progressively to specified solutions and visually assessed for stripping.

02

What is used

Prepared aggregate, binder, controlled heating/mixing tools, specified solutions and visual rating criteria.

03

What it determines

An adhesion or stripping classification under the method conditions.

04

Why it matters

Supports aggregate-binder compatibility assessment and identification of moisture-damage risk.

Typical test sequence

From sample
to result.

  1. 01

    Coat the prepared aggregate with binder

  2. 02

    Expose it to the specified solution sequence

  3. 03
