HOME ABOUT SAFETY PAVEMENT PRESERVATION CONTACT US CAREERS COMPANY STORE STATEMENT REGARDING COVID-19 SURFACE TREATMENTS In the world of preserving our streets and highways, there are many options available. Surface Treatments have long been the most economical methods used for maintaining and preserving road surfaces. Surface Treatments are the application of liquid asphalt emulsions and cover aggregate applied as a wearing course. FiberMat® (Type A) Process FiberMat® is the ultimate crack inhibiting and sealing membrane; a combination of polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, chopped glass fiber strands and aggregate. This combination creates a robust membrane that absorbs stresses generated in the pavement structure resulting in a flexible, waterproofing barrier. Value Added Benefits Fast application process Open to traffic within minutes of application Reduces repairs and resists cracking Bonds well to asphalt and concrete Economical Perfect for most traffic volumes No milling necessary Increases tensile strength and flexibility LEARN MORE Conventional Chip Seal Process Asphalt emulsion is applied to the road surface using a computerized distributor followed by the application of sized aggregate. The emulsion and aggregate are applied at a predetermined rate. Finally, a rubber-tire roller is used to set the aggregate into the asphalt emulsion. Generally, conventional chip seals are considered when normal maintenance is required to improve and extend the life cycle of the road. Chip seals can also be used for new construction. Value Added Benefits Economical Cost-effective Minimal traffic flow disruption Compatible with many other processes Open to traffic immediately after application FastTack® Process FastTack® is a specially designed spray applied tack coat interlayer that not only breaks in minutes but greatly increases the adhesion of the pavement layers. It is particularly useful when cold or damp weather conditions delay the breaking process of tackcoat. FastTack® breaks in as little as five minutes and can be applied anytime tackcoat or fogseal is required. FastTack® also provides waterproofing properties to safeguard the substrate and base layers while ensuring excellent adhesion of the overlay to existing pavements. FastTack® is applied with a typical asphalt distributor that has been modified with additional spray bars to apply the breaking and adhesion agents. Value Added Benefits Economical Ready for paving within 10 minutes Reduced waiting time No tracking Road can be left open to traffic Can be applied well ahead of paving operation Increased hot mix lay down Dust Palliatives DustClear™ G Emulsified Dust Palliative (EDP) Chlorides PennzSuppress® D ABOUT US Midland Asphalt was established in 1934.
