The Problem

At the road surface, pavement oxidation begins immediately which opens the way for moisture penetration, thereby reducing service life.

THE SOLUTION

An assortment of custom blended High-Float emulsions provides enhanced stone retention, a surface which is less susceptible to climatic temperature changes, and a reduction in construction delays. National studies have shown that the sooner a pavement preservation technique is employed the longer the underlying pavement structure will last.

OPTIMUM APPLICATION

• Most pavement surfaces – it can flex with frost-susceptible pavements

THE BENEFITS

• Highly effective protection against oxidation and intrusion of surface moisture
• Reduces damage caused by traffic and weather and improves skid resistance
• Quick-set application process minimizes traffic delays
• Attractive, homogenous appearance
• Minimizes the need for continuous repair and postpones major reconstruction
• Proven as one of the most cost-effective ways of preserving structurally sound pavements

THE PROCESS

• Pavement inspection and evaluation
• Aggregate selection and High-Float emulsion blended based on job requirements
• Surface preparation: existing cracks and potholes filled
• Even application of emulsion via fully automated and well-maintained distribution equipment
• Uniform application of fine or coarse aggregates
• Immediate rolling to properly seat/embed the aggregate and promote stone retention
• Polymer modification also available for quicker stone retention
