With Chip Sealing, a thin film of heated asphalt liquid is sprayed on the road surface, followed by the placement of small aggregates (“chips”). The chips are then compacted to orient the chips for maximum adherence to the asphalt, and excess stone is swept from the surface. It helps to prevent deterioration of the asphalt surface from the effects of aging and oxidation due to water and sun. As a result, Chip Sealing functions to extend the time between asphalt overlays, resulting in lower costs over the long term.
