Designation: D5727/D5727M − 00 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Specif i cation forEmulsif i ed Ref i ned Coal Tar (Mineral Colloid Type) 1This standard is issued under the f i xed designation D5727/D5727M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specif i cation covers mineral-colloid-stabilized,concentrated, emulsif i ed, ref i ned coal tar suitable for use asweather-protective and aliphatic-solvent resistant coatings overbituminous pavements, such as those found at airports, parkingareas, and driveways. The specif i cation for this material waspreviously covered by Federal Specif i cation RP355.N OTE 1—Dilute the concentrated emulsion after testing and prior toapplication to meet the application specif i cation requirements.Applicationshall be made in accordance with Practice D3423/D3423M.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 6, of this specif i cation: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.
