A Single Chip Seal is an extremely cost effective surface application used to maintain, protect and prolong the life of an asphalt pavement.
Soft, flexible, polymer modified asphalt emulsion is applied directly to the pavement followed by an application of #8 or ¼ inch aggregate. The thick asphalt membrane water proofs and bonds the new aggregate to the surface, providing a new skid resistant wearing course.
Benefits of Single Chip Seal
- Extends the pavement life by protecting it from oxidation and deterioration from moisture
- Easy and quick application causing minimum disruption to the travelling public
- Seals and prevents reflection of small surface cracks and reduces moisture infiltration
- Cost effective treatment stretches maintenance dollars by covering large area for the least money
- Improves skid resistance and winter traction by providing a textured surface
