To help prevent stripping, additives such as hydrated lime or liquid anti-stripping chemicals may be required. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) made from certain materials may be sensitive to the presence of water in the finished pavement. Water will cause the binder to not adhere to the aggregate. Since the binder holds the pavement together, rapid failure of the pavement can be expected if the binder cannot adhere to the aggregate. This is often referred to as stripping.</p><p><strong>Accuracy and Precision</strong></p><p>Standard test is used with good results.</p><p><strong>Adequacy of Coverage</strong></p><p>Standard test is used.</p><p><strong>Implementation Requirements </strong></p><p>Implementation requirements are not excessive.</p></p>
