Micro-Surfacing
Micro Surfacing
Micro-surfacing is one of the fastest growing asphalt maintenance tools utilized across Western Canada. Micro-surfacing is a mixture of polymer modified asphalt emulsion,100% manufactured aggregate, portland cement, water and liquid additives. The mixture is proportioned according to specifications and laboratory mix design. Micro-surfacing is a quick set, quick traffic system that is able to accept traffic after a short period of time. Traffic is usually able to resume as normal within hours of application, but set times may vary depending on weather and conditions specific to each project.
Micro-surfacing is used for rut filling, longitudinal and transverse crack repair (special spread boxes are used), leveling or scratch course and surfacing of all roadways from urban streets to major highways. This product fills minor surface cavities and corrects weathered, pitted and raveling asphalt surfaces while adding excellent skid resistance and extending the roadway’s life cycle.
The 100% manufactured aggregates offer superb physical properties combining durability, wear and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These aggregates generally come in three distinct groupings: Type 1 (fine), Type 2 (standard) and Type 3 (coarse).
