Book excerpt: A joint effort research program between Crafco Incorporated and the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was conducted under the auspices of the FY 89 Construction Productivity Advancement Research Program. The purpose was to develop improved materials and processes for sealing and resealing joints in portland cement concrete pavements. The program's objectives were to (a) develop specification limits for a hot-applied, jet-fuel-resistant (JFR) sealant with improved characteristics as compared to current Federal Specification (FS) SS-S1614A requirements, (b) develop specification limits for a hot-applied, non- jet-fuel-resistant (non-JFR) sealant with improved low temperature performance characteristics as compared to current FS SS-S-1401C requirements, (c) develop specification limits for a primer system that will minimize bubbling tendencies associated with hot-applied sealants and improve adhesion to portland cement concrete, and (d) develop field data to determine performance characteristics of flush fill sealant application geometry versus 1/8 to 1/4 in. recess application techniques. Federal specification SS-S-1401, Jet-fuel-resistant sealants, Federal specification SS-S-1614, Non-jet-fuel-resistant sealants. Hot-applied joint sealants.
