Chip Seal

Applying a layer of CRS bitumen emulsion and a layer of aggregates on it. That is suitable for the surfaces on which about 300 vehicles pass daily. In case the road is busy or there is a high traffic street, we must implement an asphalt layer or one or two Slurry Seal layers or one or two Micro-surfacing layers after applying Chip Seal.

Chip Seal applications and facts:

1- After applying Chip Seal, we can implement Slurry Seal or Micro-surfacing to fill the voids between aggregates and to have a black and monotonous surface.

2- It prevents bitumen emulsion from freezing which is under and over its layer.

3- It improves surface texture, waterproofs the surface and protects the underlying pavement from oxidation, fatigue, aging as well as traffic wear.

4- It gives new life to dry and weathered surfaces and seals small cracks and imperfections.

5- It is an economic way to resurface roads.

6- Size of aggregates must be 6 to 12 mm.
