LOW-COST, LONG-LASTING SOLUTIONS FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE
 
THE PROBLEM
An aged roadway needs rebuilding from the sub-base up. Another requires extensive resurfacing. Still another job involves 15 miles of new construction.
THE SOLUTION
Suit-Kote Cold Mix paving offers you an economical, long-life alternative to these and many other pavement related problems. More workable than a conventional hot mix design and workmanship to give you a custom sub-base binder and top course. Cold Mix paving saves time and money, too-since local aggregate can be used to mix on or near the job site, and heating is not required.
THE PRODUCTS
Whether the job requires either an open graded or dense graded mixture, you are assured of the same attention to detail and care that goes into every Suit-Kote design.
Open graded mixture contains high float asphalt emulsion and a minimal amount of fine aggregate.
Dense graded mixture-contains high float asphalt emulsion as well as a predetermined level of fine aggregate.
| • | Both mixture types are custom-blended based on job requirements; local aggregate or recycled asphalt may also be added to the mix; |
| • | Environmentally safe; |
| • | All materials exceed NYS DOT specifications. |
| THE BENEFITS |
| • | Lower energy costs because heating is not required; |
| • | Pugmill mixing near job site and optional use of local aggregate minimizes transportation costs; |
| • | Use of high float emulsions minimizes draindown and reduces cracking; |
| • | Pavement oxidizes more slowly than conventional hot mix. |
| THE PROCESS |
| • | On-site analysis; custom-designed mixture; |
| • | Pugmill positioned on or near the job site; |
| • | Selected aggregates are combined with high float emulsions to specifications; |
| • | Material is mixed and applied without heating; |
| • | Compaction of material and follow-up surface treatment or fog seal as required. |
| ITS APPLICATIONS |
| • | Open graded mix is used as a base and binder for paving course, maintenance and construction; |
| • | Dense graded mix is used for truing and leveling intermediate, base, binder and top pavement course; able to take traffic immediately; |
A specially designed cold skid patch or grader patch material that can be stockpiled and used as a wedging or friction enhancing application.
