SURFACE TREATMENT is subdivided as follows:

Dust Palliative Prime coat / Tack coat Armor coat Seal coat

Application of about 0.2 gallon / m of light slow curing oil. (MC30 or MC-70) provides film and penetrates surface about inch.

Poor tack coat (shown in the left half of the photo) vs. a good tack coat (shown in the right half of the photo). Notice the streaky coverage of the poor tack coat and the near complete coverage of the good tack coat.

When fundais limited, Using thin butiminous binder

For 2 course treatment, max materials covered by mineral aggregate for 1st lift applied to an to 1to stabilize the earth inch For 3 treatments, 1 to 1 inches base. Max size for each lift should be reduced.

surface treatment applied One shot typethinner type about more lifts in two or 0.20-0.40 gallons /m of heavy liquid asphalt with 5-10 kg of clean screened stone. Surface treatment is applied on clean, dry surface, no wind, good weather 7/15/12 condition.

Mixture of sand fillers and asphalt cement

About 1 inch thick cover asphalt concrete -surface course on urban streets When applied excessively (unstable slicky surface which is dangerous when wet) 7/15/12

Mixture of coarse and fine aggregates and liquid asphalt.

Content of 5% to 10% is required.

Aeration
for evaporation of solvent water, otherwise the pavement will be over lubricated. Acceptable for low volume 7/15/12 roadway.
