Overview
Cape Seal is a combination of Chip Seal and Micro Surfacing. The layering of the two highly effective surface treatments provides a substantial wearing course used to address fair to moderately cracked pavements. This provides a smooth, dense surface with good skid resistance and long lasting pavement service life.
Description
“Light” Cape Seal: Designed for less cracked or lower volume roadways, is a popular maintenance process that incorporates a “light” spray of polymerized asphalt emulsion as part of a flexible membrane interlayer such as a Chip Seal, SAMI or FiberMat™ Type B with a “lighter” poundage overlay of Single Course Micro Surfacing.
“Heavy” Cape Seal: Designed for more heavily cracked or higher volume roadways, is the more traditional two-step process that utilizes a highly polymerized asphalt emulsion as part of the flexible interlayer Chip Seal, SAMI, or FiberMat, followed by either a Single or Double Course Micro Surfacing.
Features & Benefits
- Effectively repairs fair to moderately cracked pavements
- Smooth texture with no loose aggregate
- Long pavement service life similar to traditional asphalt overlay practices
- Excellent skid resistance over the life of the pavement
- Eco-friendly with no milling and low-temperature product applications
