Cape Seal - The Hero of Combination Treatments

A #capeseal is a combination treatment using a chip or scrub seal as the first course and a slurry seal or micro surfacing as the final wearing course. This treatment is designed to seal off the road to moisture to help prevent cracking while also providing a strong, durable wearing course able to resist pressure from heavy traffic as well as damage from extreme weather.

#Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions (#EAE) offers solutions for each course of a cape seal. Contact one of our expert team members to find out which combination treatments are best for your specific road type. https://ergonasphalt.com/locations.

Hi, I'm Larry Tomkins, Vice President with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions. I'm here to tell you about a powerful treatment you might want to consider incorporating into your pavement management plan. Cape seals. Cape seals have historically included the application of a chip seal followed by a slurry seal, but recently the term has expanded to include other combinations, such as a scrub seal followed by a micro surfacing treatment. Cape seals allow for increased protection of underlying road layers by preventing water from seeping into your road base, while also providing a tough wearing surface. While there are quite a few pavement preservation options available for roads that are in distress, applying combination treatments like cape seals has proven to result in even better road performance and longer service life extension than stand-alone treatments. I encourage you to consider cape seals when you're looking for ways to extend your budget and treat as many miles of your network as possible.
