Fog Seal
Lowest Cost Pavement Preservation Technique
DESCRIPTION
Fog Sealing is a technique of spraying a light application of asphalt emulsion onto a pavement surface. When used with chip seals, Fog Seals increase chip retention to tightly lock in aggregates.
APPLICATION
Fog Seals are applied by properly calibrated asphalt distributors to achieve uniform coverage. The combination of binder read in the fog seal with chip seal provides a hard asphalt enriched pavement surface.
