Centerline joints are particularly susceptible to air and water damage. For new pavements that will have rumble strips, it is critical to treat them proactively to avoid negative consequences in the future.

Applying J-Band®, an industry leading VRAM, at the time of construction, under the surface where centerline rumble strips will be installed, will reduce permeability in this most critical area. This will extend the life of the joint and improve the performance of the entire pavement.

For Cold Constructed Asphalt Pavement (CCAP®), cold mix asphalt is created by a combination of aggregate mixed at ambient temperature with a chemically modified asphalt. The cold mix may be stockpiled for weeks to a few months and then placed using a paver for road repair such as patching potholes or adding a new layer to low-volume roads. A chip seal is typically placed over the cold mix.

• CM-150 Multigrade Asphalt     • CM-300 Multigrade Asphalt

A fog seal is a single application, typically light, of emulsified asphalt to an existing asphalt road surface. This type of maintenance treatment can be a valuable aid to renew weathered (oxidized) asphalt surfaces and improve the surface appearance, seal minor cracks and surface voids, and inhibit raveling. Fog seals may also be used on chip seal applications to help lock the coarse aggregate and provides a dark color, which improves safety by making the striping more visible.

• AE-F             • AE-T
• CSS-1           • CSS-1H
• SS-1              • SS-1H
• SS-1HP

An application of asphalt emulsion or chemically modified asphalt, followed by a a layer of aggregate which is rolled and embedded into the emulsified asphalt. The process may be repeated to create a double or triple chip seal. Chip seals are used to prevent water intrusion into an pavement and create a high friction surface for safety. Chip seal emulsions can be polymer modified to improve aggregate retention and provide for a quicker return to traffic.

Micro surfacing is a surface treatment used as a preventative maintenance and corrective pavement treatment. It is used to increase surface friction, restrict moisture intrusion, protect the structure from further oxidation and raveling, and restore a uniform dark appearance. Micro surfacing is a mixture of fine aggregates, additives, asphalt emulsion and polymers. Due to the formulation, micro surfacing may be placed in greater thickness than slurry seal. It is the most economical choice when leveling or rut filling is required. Micro surfacing allows quick construction times and minimal disruption to the traveling public. 

Products:
• CQS-1hLM

Slurry seal is a thin surface treatment designed to extend the life of asphalt pavements in good structural condition by providing skid resistance, restricting moisture intrusion, protecting the structure from further oxidation and raveling, and restoring a uniform dark appearance. Slurry seal is a mixture of asphalt emulsion, fine aggregates and additives mixed and placed in one operation by a slurry machine. Slurry seal allows quick construction times and minimal disruption to the traveling public. The thin application is ideal for lower traffic areas such as residential neighborhoods.

Products:
• CSS-1H             • SS-1H

A Cape Seal is a two-step pavement preservation process that combines two surface treatments; a chip seal and a slurry seal or micro surfacing.  A single flexible chip seal layer is placed first, allowed to cure, then it is covered with a durable and wear-resistant micro surfacing or slurry seal layer. This allows skid resistance, seals the pavement against moisture, protects the pavement from oxidation and raveling, restores a dark appearance, and seals moderate cracks.  

Products (chip seal):
• CRS-2           • CRS-2P
• CRS-P           • HFE-150
• HFE-90          • HF-P
• HFRS-2

A scrub seal is a form of surface treatment for aged pavements with low to moderate severity cracking. For a scrub seal, as the emulsion is sprayed, the asphalt distributor pulls a broom sled that guides or “scrubs” the emulsion into cracks. A fine aggregate is applied and rolled into the emulsion.  The process is similar to a chip seal, with the addition of the broom sled. 

Products:
• CMS-1PC

Sandwich seal is another form of chip seal. In this process, the first aggregate is placed on the road surface at one stone thickness. An application of asphalt emulsion is then sprayed on top of the aggregate. A second smaller aggregate is then placed on the emulsion surface. The most common use for a sandwich seal is on an asphalt-rich surface to regain surface texture. The emulsion may be neat or polymer modified.  

Products (neat):
• AE-150           • AE-200
• AE-300          • AE-90
• CRS-2            • HFE-150

Products (polymer modified):
• AE-90S          • CRS-2P
• CRS-P           • HF-P

Cracking in most pavements is common and if left untreated, can lead to problems like potholes and sub–base failure.  Asphalt emulsions may be used for crack sealing. The emulsions may also be polymer modified. Crack sealing is a cost-effective method to treat all types of cracks greater than 1/8”.

Cold-in-Place Recycling (CIR) is a cost effective and sustainable method of constructing a recycled asphalt-bound layer that reduces trucking and construction time and saves natural resources. The process removes cracks and other pavement distresses. CIR is a rehabilitation technique where pavement is milled, crushed, and mixed in place with a stabilizing emulsion or foamed asphalt and then placed with conventional paving equipment. Roads should be evaluated beforehand for suitability for the CIR process. 

Products:
• CIR

Full Depth Reclamation is a cost effective and sustainable rehabilitation technique that combines the entire bituminous pavement thickness and a predetermined portion of the underlying aggregate material into a flexible, homogenous stabilized base layer utilizing an asphalt emulsion to provide mixture cohesion and water resistance. FDR is a solution for rehabilitating roads that have poor structure. The FDR is typically followed with an overlay of hot mix asphalt.

Products:
• FDR
• CFDR

Aggregate and asphalt resources are not infinite, and our current conventional remove and replace approach to our construction projects is unsustainable and not always budget friendly.This modern, yet time tested, engineered approach has proven itself to enable agencies and owners to get more projects done within the same or many times, reduced budget dollars without sacrificing structural integrity.

CCPR Engineered Emulsion process saves you as much as 40% over conventional methods.

• CCPR is a reconstruction process that can improve structure and profile of your new pavements.

• CCPR gives you a structural coefficient of up to 0.35 per inch.

• CCPR has been used to widen existing roadways prior to overlay.

• CCPR is an environmentally friendly process.

• CCPR process has been used successfully on urban, rural and state routes.

• CCPR process has been approved by various state DOT’s, including Ohio.

• CCPR requires a wearing surface of HMA, Cold Mix, or Chip Seal/Cape Seal.

AMIGUARD™ is a rapid penetrating emulsion (RPE) that is specially formulated to penetrate quickly and thoroughly. Its reduced surface tension allows it to seep into the pavement voids quickly, so drivers can get back on the road sooner. AMIGUARD and J-Band together can provide many more years of protection for your pavements.
