A chip seal is a preventive maintenance treatment used to treat raveling, oxidized pavements and loss of friction. Chips seals can also be applied to seal top-down fatigue cracks less than 1/4" in order to keep water from seeping into and weakening the road base.
Polymer Modification Enhances Performance
Ergon offers an enhanced chip seal solution that includes the addition of polymer, which allows for faster cure and return-to-traffic times while also adding flexibility to the chip seal surface. With these characteristics, roads are better able to withstand traffic loads, minimizing the risk of cracks returning under pressure. It also provides superior aggregate retention.
