Microsurfacing | Explanation & Benefits | Pavement Preservation
Day or night, micro-surfacing is a process that can be performed on high, medium or low volume roadways without causing extensive construction delays. The weakest section of the pavement is the longitudinal construction joint between traffic lanes. Micro-surfacing prevents moisture from causing expansion, helping prevent costly milling repairs.
Micro Surfacing - Pavement Preservation Treatments - Indus
When a road is in good condition, micro surfacing is one of the most economical ways to extend its service life before more serious deterioration occurs. It’s a low impact pavement preservation process that addresses skid resistance, moisture intrusion, surface raveling, minor rutting and overall appearance.
Microsurfacing & Slurry Seal | AsphaltPavingSystems
Microsurfacing is the most effective pavement preservation technique used on roads that have started to show signs of aging, cracking, oxidation, and other minor distressing.
Micro-surfacing For Asphalt: Get Perfect Pavement Preservation
Jan 5, 2024 · Microsurfacing is a specialized pavement preservation technique that combines polymer-modified emulsified asphalt, fine aggregates, mineral fillers, water, and other additives into a slurry mix that is spread over the existing road surface using specialized equipment. Unlike a standard chip seal, micro surfacing contains no larger aggregates.
How to Micro Surface - AsphaltPro Magazine
Micro surfacing is a polymer-modified, cold-application paving process. It relies on specialized equipment to combine polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, mineral aggregate, water and additives, and uniformly spread this mixture over a properly prepared surface. The asphalt emulsion breaks onto the pavement surface.
How to Slurry Seal & Micro Surface Properly - AsphaltPro Magazine
Slurry seal and micro surfacing is ideal for pavements suffering from flushing, polished aggregate, raveling, oxidation and light to moderate cracking, said Dr. Andrew Braham of the University of Arkansas. Micro surfacing can also fill minor rutting and prevent cracks from growing wider, due to its use of polymer-modified emulsion.
Microsurfacing Contractors - Pavement Preservation Experts
Microsurfacing is a thin surface wearing treatment that involves laying a mixture of dense‐graded aggregate, asphalt emulsion, water, polymer additive, and mineral fillers to correct or prevent certain deficiencies in pavement conditions. Microsurfacing primarily used to extend pavement life by sealing any cracks in the pavement surface.
Micro Surfacing - International Slurry Surfacing Association
One of the most versatile tools in the pavement preservation toolbox, Micro Surfacing is a mixture of cationic polymer-modified emulsified asphalt, 100% crushed aggregate, water, and other additives, properly proportioned and spread over a prepared surface.
Micro Surfacing - VSS International
Micro surfacing is a polymer-modified cold-mix paving system that can remedy a broad range of problems on today’s streets, highways, and airfields. Micro Surfacing is made and applied to existing pavements by special machines, which are designed to …
Microsurfacing: A Comprehensive Guide - Saguaro Asphalt
May 17, 2023 · Microsurfacing is a cost-effective and efficient way to extend the life of asphalt pavements by providing a thin protective layer that seals and smooths out the surface. The frequency of micro-surfacing depends on various factors such as traffic volume, climate, pavement condition, and maintenance history.
