Section 4126. Aggregate for Polymer-Modified Microsurfacing
Crushed stone. For non-Interstate mixes steel slag may also be used.
For quartzite, granite, and slag meet requirements for Gradation No. 37 of the Aggregate Gradation Table, Article 4109.02. For limestone and dolomite meet requirements for Gradation No. 38 of the Aggregate Gradation Table, Article 4109.02
Meet requirements of Table 4126.03-1 and 4126.03-2 with the exception that use of Friction Type 2 crushed stone requires a maximum abrasion loss of 30% and sand equivalence of not less than 60. Testing is based on aggregate crushed to 3/4 inch nominal size.
