Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse What is it? • Surface Treatment • Preventive Maintenance • Corrective Maintenance (Surface Rehabilitation) • Single Pass System • Emulsion membrane • Thin gap-graded hot mix • Placed with Special Equipment
Spray Novabond 3 Processes Lay Hot Mix Smooth the Mat Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing CoarseMachine Specially Engineered Application of membrane Application of HMA
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse:The Process The Novabond Cures, Bonding the HMA to the Pavement Total 9/16” Depth of Mix Surface of Mix Coating on mix 3/8” Agg Size 3/16” Membrane Existing Pavement
Polymer Modified Membrane • Sprays easily • Cures quickly • Superior bonding
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse HMA • High quality aggregate • Restores & retains friction • Gap-graded • Reduces noise • Reduces backspray • Mix designed specially for process
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing CoarseBinder • Polymer modified binder • Less draindown • More forgiving (less sensitive to temp, etc.) • Quicker traffic return • Sticks better, less water sensitivity • Better cracking resistance • More durable
Application rates • Emulsion membrane • 0.15 - 0.3 gal/yd2 • Ultra-thin hot mix asphalt overlay • Type A - 45-55 #/yd2 • Type B - 50-65 #/yd2 • Type C - 55-80+ #/yd2 • Total thickness: 3/8 to 3/4”
Rolling & Return to Traffic • Rolling only to seat aggregate • Return to traffic in 10-20 minutes
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing CoarseConstruction Advantages • Quick to apply • Reopens to traffic quickly • Cost effective
Performance • Resists wear & rutting • High skid resistance • Reduced tire splash, hydroplaning • Reduced tire noise • Seals out water • No loose aggregate • Thinner lift • reduces applied weights • overhead clearance, curb reveal & drainage profiles • maximizes use of expensive aggregates
