Understanding Tar & Chip Paving and Seal Coating

What is Chip paving?

Chip Sealing, or Tar & Chip paving, is a budget-friendly resurfacing method used by municipalities and businesses in North America. It offers similar durability to other techniques but is 25-40% cheaper than traditional overlays. ACE Asphalt Materials provides treatments to improve the longevity and protection of existing pavement.

ChipSealing Method:

Chip Sealing applies hot rubberized emulsion on pavement, topped with aggregate chips. The emulsion remains flexible, preventing bleeding. Rollers compact the surface to secure the aggregate. After curing, excess chips are swept away, preparing the pavement for use.

What is Seal Coating?

Asphalt roads deteriorate more quickly after application due to factors like oxidation and UV rays. They face challenges from traffic loads, weather conditions, and ground movement. Chip Seals can enhance traction on new pavements or be applied to aging surfaces that remain structurally sound.

Seal Coating barrier:

Asphalt seal coating enhances appearance and protects paving from UV rays, spills, and weather. It reduces maintenance by preventing cracks and potholes, ultimately preserving property and extending its lifespan.
