AS 3568:2020 PDF
The objective of this Standard is to specify the properties of hydrocarbon oils used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen and polymer modified binders (PMBs) when they are used in pavement construction.
This Standard was prepared by the Australian Members of Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee CH-025, Bitumen and Related Products (for Roadmaking) to supersede AS 3568— 1999, Oils for reducing the viscosity of residual bitumen for pavements.
The objective of this Standard is to specify the properties of hydrocarbon oils used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen and polymer modified binders (PMBs) when they are used in pavement construction.
This revision of the Standard was undertaken based on research conducted in Austroads Project No. APT2063, Key properties of cutters for optimal sprayed seal performance, the outcomes of which are published in Austroads Report No. AP-T344-19.
