*NOTES:
Mixing and Compaction temperatures are given for dense graded mixtures.
These are general guidelines; Stylink® products are formulated locally to meet local specifications and performance needs. Contact your local SemMaterials representative for specific recommendations on the product you are using.
Mixing temperatures may be adjusted to compensate for loss of temperature during transport or extremes in ambient temperature, but care should be taken not to heat low temperature grades (-34 and -40) higher than necessary.
