11. Place the rack in the CoreDry. Put the lid on the
chamber and press Start.
12. After the samples are dry, remove the rack. Weigh each
pan with the dry weight.
13. Calculate the residual content of the emulsion from the
average of the total mass.
Cleaning
1. The residual binder can be removed from the silicone
sheet by folding the sheet in half and rubbing the two
sides together to form a ball of asphalt binder.
NOTE: If the residual binder is to be tested, use latex or
neoprene gloves to remove the binder to prevent
contamination of the sample
2. Wash the silicone sheets with water.
DO NOT use solvents such as trichloroethylene (Tri-Co),
acetone, orange cleaner or WD-40. These solvent can
be absorbed by the silicone sheet and change the
binder properties of subsequent samples.
3. Allow the sheets to dry.
Clean the thin-film applicator and metal pans with a solvent.
Then wipe the surface clean to prevent contamination of the
silicone sheets.
