42 Spray Applied Preservation ($$-$$$) A Spray Applied Surface Treatment provides a protective layer for asphalt surfaces, effectively preserving and extending their lifespan. This treatment acts as a barrier against water, UV rays, oils, oxidation and other harmful elements, making it an ideal treatment for a variety of applications, including roads, parking lots, walking trails and driveways. In addition to its protective qualities, it enhances the pavement’s appearance, giving it a fresh, dark and uniform color. PAVEMENT DISTRESS TREATED BY SPRAY APPLIED SURFACE TREATMENT Spray Applied Surface Treatment primarily addresses these types of pavement distress: 1. Oxidation: UV exposure can make asphalt brittle, leading to cracks and fading. This treatment blocks UV rays, reducing oxidation. 2. Small Surface Cracks: The treatment fills and seals small, hairline cracks, preventing water from penetrating and worsening them. 3. Raveling: When asphalt particles (like gravel) loosen and break off the surface, this treatment helps to keep those particles in place. APPLICATION PROCESS FOR SPRAY APPLIED SURFACE TREATMENT 1. Surface Preparation: • Clean the pavement thoroughly, removing all debris, dirt and oil spots. • Sweep or blow away loose gravel and dust, and power-wash the surface if necessary. • Repair any significant cracks or potholes in the asphalt before applying the treatment. 2. Application: The treatment is typically applied in two coats for even coverage and enhanced durability. 3. Curing Time: Allow the treatment to be fully cured before opening the area to traffic; consult the manufacturer for recommended curing times. 4. Reopen for Use: Once fully cured, the surface can be reopened to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. BENEFITS OF SPRAY APPLIED SURFACE TREATMENT 1. Extended Pavement Life: By acting as a protective barrier, Spray Applied Surface Treatment can significantly extend the lifespan of asphalt surfaces, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements. 2. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: This treatment rejuvenates the appearance of pavement by restoring a fresh, dark, uniform color, creating a visually appealing and professional look for roads, parking lots and other asphalt surfaces. 3. Increased Surface Durability: The treatment mitigates damage from common elements, such as water, oils and UV rays, that can weaken and deteriorate the asphalt over time. It also seals small cracks, preventing them from expanding into larger, more costly issues.
