Asphalt Extraction Solvent

Product Data Sheet Safety Data Sheet

Description
This blend of environmentally preferred ingredients introduces a completely new approach to asphalt extraction. Unlike traditional extraction solvents, Ecolink’s ATR HI-FLASH offers the best features of a low flashpoint solvent in a high flashpoint blend. ATR HI-FLASH is an extremely aggressive solvent, has a pleasant citrus odor, and yet still exhibits a TCC flashpoint of 145ºF. ATR HI-FLASH quickly dissolves and liquefies the toughest mixtures, delivering fast and accurate test results. It emulsifies instantly in water, leaving behind a residue-free surface. ATR HI-FLASH may be used in a lab as directed by AASHTO T164.
