Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry provides the chemical testing for a wide variety of highway materials, ensures that quality materials are used in highway projects by maintaining a system of sampling, testing, documentation, and reporting of test results for focus areas including: pavement marking materials, reflective sheeting, bridge coatings, and miscellaneous items. Analytical chemistry also maintains cement and concrete reference laboratory (CCRL) accreditation for cementitious materials. Refer to Part II Material Group Details of the Manual for Materials Inspection to determine material requirements.

CBM Specifications
Activities involving materials, research, and new products are administered by IDOT's Central Bureau of Materials (CBM). Administration of these activities requires CBM to develop new specifications or revise existing department specifications. Since these activities are under development or are being evaluated, the specifications do not have a wide distribution. In addition, these specifications are a working document and have not been adopted as a statewide standard.
- Concrete Coating System (CBM)
Application: It is intended for the preparation, sealing, and water repelling of concrete surfaces other than driving surfaces. For experimental use only – See Construction Memorandum 02-2
Effective Date: 12/08/03
