Designation:D5727/D5727M00(Reapproved 2011)1Standard Specification forEmulsified Refined Coal Tar(Mineral Colloid Type)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5727/D5727M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1NOTEUnits information was editorially revised in June 2011.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers mineral-colloid-stabilized,concentrated,emulsified,refined coal tar suitable for use asweather-protective and aliphatic-solvent resistant coatings overbituminous pavements,such as those found at airports,parkingareas,and driveways.The specification for this material waspreviously covered by Federal Specification RP355.NOTE1Dilute the concentrated emulsion after testing and prior toapplication to meet the application specification requirements.Applicationshall be made in accordance with Practice D3423.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion,Section 6,of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD140 Practice for Sampling Bituminous MaterialsD490 Specification for Road TarD2939 Test Methods for Emulsified Bitumens Used asProtective CoatingsD3423 Practice for Application of Emulsified Coal-TarPitch(Mineral Colloid Type)2.2 Federal Specification:3Federal Specification RP3553.Materials and Manufacture3.1 The emulsion shall be made using tars having viscositiesof RT-11 or higher.The tars shall conform to the requirementsof Specification D490.3.2 The emulsion shall be fortified with antifreeze whenspecified.4.Physical Requirements4.1 The emulsion shall be homogeneous and exhibit noseparation or coagulation of components that cannot be over-come by moderate stirring.4.2 The material shall conform to the physical propertiesprescribed in Table 1.5.Sampling5.1 Sample in accordance with Practice D140.6.Test Methods6.1 Use Test Methods D2939 or,as noted:6.1.1 Uniformity,6.1.2 Wet film continuity,6.1.3 Resistance to freezing(when specified),6.1.4 Density,6.1.5 Residue by evaporation,6.1.6 Water content,Test Method D95,6.1.7 Resistance to volatilization,6.1.8 Solubility of residue in CS2,6.1.9 Ash of residue,6.1.10 Drying time,6.1.11 Resistance to heat,1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.09on Bituminous Emulsions.Current edition approved May 1,2011.Published June 2011.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D5727 00(2004)1.DOI:10.1520/D5727_D5727M-00R11E01.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Obsolete.Previously available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,Bldg.4 Section D,700 Robbins Ave.,Philadelphia,PA 19111-5094,Attn:NPODS.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 6.1.12 Resistance to kerosine,6.1.13 Resistance to water,and6.1.14 Flexibility.7.Inspection7.1 Inspection of material shall be made as agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the supplier.8.Packaging and Marking8.1 Emulsion shall be packaged to permit acceptance by thecarrier for transportation and to afford adequate protectionfrom the normal hazards of shipping and handling.8.2 Each package shall be marked plainly with the name andbrand of the manufacturer or supplier,the ASTM designationas well as the type or grade of the product,and the productioncode or lot number.The before-mentioned information shall beso noted on the bill of lading if the shipment is by bulk tankerload.9.Keywords9.1 coal tar;emulsified;mineral colloid;refined;tarASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights,and the risk
