tested crack sealing materials, equipment and
applications extensively during a five-year evaluation, and the
result was that “the best performing sealant is a polymer –modified
sealant that actually “relaxes” during full extension. This technique places less
tension or stress on the bond of the sealant to the sidewalls of the crack and results in
longer lasting sealants. The latest generation of polymer modifiers actually exceed the
current minimum test minimums set by ASTM and AASHTO. Polymer Sealants last longer and
continue to perform.”
(U.S. Roads Road Management & Engineering Journal, Issue 97-2 “Crack Sealing and Benefits and Techniques)

“ Roads that have been crack sealed have better ride-ability five years later than other
surface treatments such as chip seals, micropaving, thin over lays and slurry seals.”
US Roads, Road Management & Engineering Journal

Pavement Protection System consists of using EBS which is a polymer composite overlay and sealing method
that significantly extends the life of asphalt pavement. An EBS Surface Seal provides a durable micro layer that is
high strength, provides flexibility and is UV resistant. This layer ensures that the surface has no porosity, and
hence protects the pavement from the formation of “alligator cracking”. This polymer sealant is unaffected by the
main causes of asphalt destruction, it is not affected by water, UV rays, oxidation, vehicular wear and tear, or
hydrocarbons (oil, fuel and hydraulic fluids).

This method of micro layer surfacing was developed to address long-term pavement preservation and reduce
required maintenance. These factors allow for a far more sustainable reduced maintenance and cost model of
the life span of a road.

The micro-layer is made up of millions of
polymer nano molecules that create a bi-poly
lattice that seals the surface with a protective
layer

This protective layer can be applied in single or multiple layers for added
thickness and protection for extreme use and weather conditions.

The material for the layer is comprised of our highly advanced EBS Nano-
polymer Modifier, which may be used independently or in conjunction with a
™ ™ ™ small amount of cement and/or a unique blend of engineered aggregates,
depending on the application.
