AASHTO T 302 – Standard Method of Test for Polymer Content of Polymer-Modified Emulsified Asphalt Residue and Asphalt Binders

This test method is used to determine the percent concentration of a Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber (SBR), Styrene-Butadiene (SB), or Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) polymer in a polymer-modified asphalt binder or emulsified asphalt residue. By using the infrared spectrum and the principles of Beer’s Law, the polymer content of the asphalt material can be determined.
