Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods for Hot Mix Asphalt - Part 41: Resistance to De-icing Fluids
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-41 standard outlines a method for testing the resistance of bituminous materials to de-icing fluids. This standard specifically focuses on determining the surface tensile strength of asphalt specimens after exposure to de-icing fluids, such as acetate and formate solutions.
The purpose of this test method is to assess the ability of bituminous mixtures to withstand the potentially damaging effects of de-icing fluids commonly used in cold weather environments. The resistance of the asphalt to these fluids is important, particularly for materials used in airfields, where de-icing fluids are often applied. However, this standard can also be applied to asphalt used in roadways or other paved areas.
By evaluating the surface tensile strength of asphalt specimens that have been exposed to de-icing fluids, this standard provides valuable information on the durability and performance of bituminous mixtures in harsh winter conditions. The test method outlined in DIN EN 12697-41 enables the assessment of asphalt's resistance to de-icing fluids, allowing for the selection or modification of materials to ensure the longevity and functionality of paved surfaces.
