Background description of company and its products:
	Blacklidge provides a range of asphalt emulsions, asphalt cement, and additives. The company specializes in tack/bond coats. Notable products include, UltraTack, UltraFuse, ReGen, and ReGen X. B-AS2 is a new anti-strip being introduced to various states.
Recommended Uses-Primary: Bituminous Materials and Additives
Recommended Uses-Alternate: Bituminous Rejuvenators and Preservative Treatments
Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Blacklidge’s B-AS2 is an adhesion-promoting technology formulated to prevent stripping, or moisture-induced loss of adhesive bond, at the asphalt-aggregate interface. Moisture damage is a common issue that worsens with age and freeze-thaw cycles. B-AS2 is proven to prevent stripping of even extremely moisture-susceptible aggregates, including problematic granite and limestone sources. The product will ensure conformance to stripping resistance according to AASHTO T283 (Method of Test for Resistance of Compacted Bituminous Mixture to Moisture Induced Damage), FM 1-T 283, and others. When B-AS2 is added directly to an asphalt binder at the prescribed dosage, it will have a negligible impact on the PG properties of the asphalt.
