ACID-RESISTING ASPHALT MASTIC' A.S.T.M Designation: D 223 - 30

These specifications are issued under the fixed designation D 223; the final number indicates the year of original adoption as standard or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision

ISSUED AS TENTATIVE, 1925; ADOPTED, 1930

suitable for use in waterproofing, consisting of mastic cake, asphalt cement and mineral aggregate

(b) The grade of asphalt mastic covered by these specifications

is suitable for waterproofing, tank linings, floors, etc., where dilute mineral acids at temperatures below 100° F (38° C.) are encountered

Properties 2 This asphalt is a mixture of mastic cake, asphalt cement and

Mastic Cake

mineral aggregate, which at a temperature of approximately 205° C ( 400° F ) is sufficiently plastic to be poured into place and compressed with a wooden trowel or equivalent tool into a compact mass

As used for strictly waterproofing purposes the mastic cake, asphalt cement and mineral aggregate are combined under heat and manual stirring in substantially the following proportions by weight:

Mastic Calce 48 per cent Asphalt Cement 5 "

Mineral Aggregate 47

3 (a) The mastic cake shall conform to the following require-ments:

Weight per cake not more than 80 lb Soluble in pure benzol 14 to 18 per cent by weight Insoluble in pure benzol 82 to 86 per cent by weight

(b) The matter soluble in pure benzol shall be asphalt cement, which, after recovery from the mastic cake, shall conform to the requirements of the Tentative Specifications for Asphalt Cement, 25

1 Under the standardization procedure of the Society, these specifications are under the jurisdiction
