Cracksealing

Cracksealing

Cracking is typically the first sign of pavement deterioration.

THE PRODUCT

  • Suit-Kote’s cracksealant is a quick-set, fiberized asphalt cement, custom mixed, and heated on a job-specific basis
  • Comprised of high-quality PG 64-22 and polyester fibers
  • Rubberized crackfiller meeting ASTM D-6690 Type II is available
  • For optimum performance, multi-grade is also available with polyester fibers for crackfilling
  • Aggregates are added to the mixture when sealing wide cracks

OPTIMUM APPLICATION

  • Any roadway showing early signs of cracking/deterioration

THE BENEFITS

  • All-weather durability, quick-set, elasticity, and adhesion
  • Minimizes surface water penetration, sub-surface ice formation, and traffic erosion
  • Applied in dry weather conditions as low as 40°F
  • High labor and material efficiency
  • Effective use of maintenance dollars

THE PROCESS

  • Removal of debris and moisture from cracks via air blasting
  • Crack sealant is heated, mixed, and applied using an easily maneuvered all-in-one road unit (1,000 gal. capacity with on-board air compressor, heating unit, and mixer)
  • “Extrusion” coverage method penetrates crack and provides 1½” lateral surface seal; surface depth of sealant is only ⅛”
  • Crew consists of two sealant applicators, one air blaster, and one driver to keep labor costs at a minimum
