Mylar Strips for Bending Beam Rheometer Molds

Mylar Strips for Bending Beam Rheometer Molds

Designed specifically for use with Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) molds, these Mylar strips are an essential tool for accurately measuring the flexural creep stiffness of asphalt binders. The clear Mylar strips are placed on the interior surface of the BBR mold sections prior to adding the specimen, creating a non-stick barrier that ensures easier and cleaner sample removal after testing, minimizing the risk of specimen damage.

Each package includes:

Twelve strips measuring 6.496 x 0.748in (165 x 19mm) with a thickness of 0.003in — ideal for standard BBR mold sections.

Twenty-four strips measuring 7.008 x 0.5in (178 x 12.7mm) with a thickness of 0.0006in — designed for use with smaller mold sections, providing a snug fit for precise testing.

Features:

• Simplifies specimen removal after testing, reducing the risk of damage to the asphalt binder sample
• Made from durable, clear Mylar that is resistant to the low temperatures used in BBR testing
• Compatible with standard BBR molds used in AASHTO T313 and ASTM D6648 testing procedures
• Provides a smooth, consistent surface for accurate test results
• Includes enough strips for twelve complete tests, making it a cost-effective solution for busy laboratories
• Reusable in some applications, further extending their value
