Fog Seal Construction Method
Fog seals are also used to color the surface with its uniform black appearance. Fog seals can be used on low and medium traffic pavements for the following purpose:
. Rejuvenate the old existing pavements
. Fills up the small hairline cracks and gaps
. Strengthen the distressed pavement exposed to excessive cold climate
. Strengthen the surface dressing exposed to heavy snow plowing
. Give black appearance to new surface dressing
. Help to strengthen the open graded pavement against raveling
Fog Seals are used on low and medium damaged and raveled pavements where the surface has got enough voids to absorb the emulsion.
Fog seals have a very successful background, applying on new surface dressings to provide black appearance.
Certain application techniques have proven that fog seals have a very good performance to improve the bonding and provide a smooth black appearance, when two thin layers of fog seal is applied over a new surface dressing.
Fog Seals, while improving the surface dressing endurance against snow plowing, it also provides a wonderful appearance with its smooth black texture.
Fog Seals have a good reputation for effective fighting against the raveling problems that happens on most open graded asphalts
