Abstract
Asphalt is used as a binder for thin maintenance surface (TMS) applications because of two key properties, it is waterproof and it adheres relatively well to the aggregate. Since asphalt is too stiff at room temperature to apply to the road surface, it is usually applied as either a cutback asphalt or an asphalt emulsion. The asphalt emulsions can be further divided into high float emulsions, cationic emulsions or polymer-modified binders, which are emulsions with polymers added to them. These types of binders are discussed further below.
