• Abstract:
  A chip seal is a very effective thin surface treatment process used by maintenance managers to preserve existing asphalt pavements. Two of the major asphalt pavement distresses, cracking and loss of friction are effectively addressed with the use of a chip seal. If cracks greater than ¼ inch are either sealed or filled, the chip seal binder will address the minor cracks, and the chips or aggregates provide a good friction surface. Chip seals also address oxidization, a normal hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement aging process. Chip seals are a relatively inexpensive pavement surface treatment; however, they require a considerable amount of time and effort in planning in order to execute the work. Chip seals are often referred to as a seal coat, and the process of applying a chip seal, are often referred to as sealing.
