Description
Ralumac® micro-surfacing is a surface treatment for preventive maintenance, rut filling and improving skid resistance on asphalt or concrete pavements. The Ralumac polymer modified asphalt emulsion, additives and aggregates are mixed and placed in a continuous process by a single machine.
The Federal Highway Administration issued a position statement in late 2004 that encourages street and highway agencies to extend their dollars by the judicious use of maintenance treatments. Many departments have found that maintenance costs are two to 10 times lower than rehabilitation costs, and that the preservation program results in a significantly higher overall quality road system.
The ideal maintenance treatment should be workable, cost effective, lower in raw materials usage and provide quick traffic return. For more than 25 years, Ralumac micro-surfacing has been the right treatment for many pavements, from residential streets to high-traffic interstates. A process continually improved by Road ScienceTM technologists, the Ralumac system is a high performance, cost-effective surface treatment that preserves pavements and improves surface profile and skid resistance.
Features/Benefits
- THE original system designed for rut filling, and can be applied at varying thicknesses
- Environmentally friendly cold process
- Restores texture, improves skid resistance
- Fast, daytime or nighttime application (500 tons per day) which cures quickly for early traffic return (typically 20-60 minutes)
- Ultrathin for maintaining overhead clearances, curb reveal and drainage
- Black surface which appears like hot mix surface
- Delineates pavement markings and shoulders
- Cost-effective, pavement preservation treatment that seals and protects pavement
