Bitumen for asphalt & specialty coatings

Chip-seal coating

Chip-seal surfacing combines aggregate with a bituminous binder and is commonly used for driveways, lanes and similar exterior surfaces. Its textured finish and flexible construction can perform well through freeze-thaw cycles when the base and application are appropriate.

Applications

Residential driveways: an economical and durable option with a natural aggregate appearance.
Parking areas: suitable for light to moderate vehicle loads in appropriate applications.
Courtyards and exterior areas: provides a textured, natural-looking finish.
Walkways and paths: useful in parks and pedestrian areas where a textured surface is desired.

Benefits

Weather resistance: properly installed systems tolerate rain, snow and freeze-thaw conditions.
Natural drainage characteristics: the textured surface can help manage surface water depending on the underlying construction.
Traction: exposed aggregate provides a rough texture for pedestrians and vehicles.
Straightforward maintenance: routine sweeping and cleaning are generally simple.
