Data Sheet

Elephant Armor™ Asphalt

Fiber Optic Micro-Trenching

High Performance Reinstatement

and Drive Surface Material

www.gstinternational.com 775 829 2626

Elephant Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch is a single component,

black all cementitious, iber reinforced with Strain Hardening Capacity and excellent

ductility, fast setting asphalt patch, that can be placed with a pumping system

speciically designed for micro trench. It ofers high early superior bond strength.

Elephant Armor™ Engineered Ductile Mortars contains Proprietary High

Performance Fibers that meet the requirements of ASTM C-1116 . In addition to

the mechanical bond our iber creates a fully engaged molecular bond within

the mortar matrix, providing high tensile and lexural strength.

Our patent pending Elephant Armor™ Engineered Ductile Mortars contain a low

embodied energy all cementitious formulation. This green technology product

reduces our carbon footprint, through resource conservation and reduced

landill waste.

Elephant Armor™ Asphalt Patch is designed to accept any textured inish matching the existing asphalt.

The strain hardening capacity of the specialized ibers within the Elephant Armor™ Asphalt Patch matrix

creates a Spall Proof Permanent Repair Solution.

The Elephant Armor™ Asphalt complete system provides exceptionally low permeability. It can easily be

pumped into place with a quick cure time, resulting in no delays in meeting your construction deadlines.

Installation Speciications:

1. Metro Nashville Public Works has approved GST Elephant

Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch as the

reinstatement and drive surface for use in micro-trench iber

optic applications.

2. Elephant Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch

shall be mixed and placed with an MTEC Mono–Fu mixer,

only by factory trained and approved installers.

3. Elephant Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch

shall be batched with mixing water containing Elephant

Armor™ Set Delay during hot weather installation.

4. Remove all contaminants (e.g. oil, dust, sand moisture) from bond surface for proper adhesion.

5. The application process must include the Elephant Armor™ Primer spray applied with a GST 2 gallon

Pump Sprayer to the entire micro-duct trench. When the primed surface begins to turn blue/green

place the line pumped Elephant Armor™ before it dries and becomes tack-free. Approx. 10 minutes

based on ambient temperature and humidity.

6. The Elephant Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch shall be placed as the reinstatement

material and rolled with a 4” Elephant Armor™ texture roller.

7. Elephant Armor™ Cure shall be spray applied with a GST 2 gallon Pump sprayer after the Elephant

Armor™ Ultra-High Performance Asphalt Patch material reaches initial set.

8. Prior to micro trenching, buried commodities will be located and exposed via coring and removing

material from the roadway within a 6” to 12” diameter pothole.

Beneits of Elephant Armor™ Ultra High Performance Asphalt Patch:

• Eliminates milling and reinstatement of drive surface as well as the down time costs associated

with this process.

• The total elimination of ofensive and potentially dangerous odors associated with the

application of Hot Asphalt or Epoxy Based Resin Products.

• Expedited return to service for Business and Homeowners

• Eco-Friendly, no harsh chemical required for clean up (equipment, tools, personal, job site), water only.

• Minimal placement restriction in adverse weather conditions.

• Elephant Armor’s viscosity (slump) is easily adjusted to accommodate changes in grade without

compromising mix design performance.

• Elephant Armor™ can be easily ground for future remediation (mill and pave).

Yield for Elephant Armor™ Ultra High Performance Asphalt Patch

• Yield for a 50lb bag is 0.39 CF.

• Yield for (1 gal.) of Elephant Armor™ Primer is 350 sq. ft.

• Yield for (1 gal.) of Elephant Armor™ Cure is 350 sq. ft.

Examples, Detail 1 Micro Trench with 6” proile will yield the following:

• 6.25 lin. ft. per bag of Elephant Armor™ for 1.5” width x 6” depth

• One mile = 846 bags (1 pallet = 56 bags, pallet weight = 2,900 lbs)

• Yield for Elephant Armor™ Primer is 18 gallons per mile

• Yield for Elephant Armor™ Cure is 2 gallons per mile.

Production Rates :

• The MTEC Mono-Fu Mixer has been ield tested at ONE bag

per minute of Elephant Armor™.

• 60 bags per hour with single machine and trailer = 375 lin. ft.

per hour at 6” depth.

• One 8 hour shift = 3120 lin. ft.
