TEST FOR MICROSURFACING


Bitumen emulsion techniques can maintain the long term serviceability of your pavement. Emulsion techniques are energy-efficient and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The performance of bitumen emulsions makes it possible to obtain cold asphalt mixes with a good macro texture, and adhesion characteristics equivalent to those of hot asphalt mix materials. Micro surfacing protects the underlying pavement by improving impermeability, provides excellent adhesion to the existing road, compensates for small deformations, and has no loose aggregates under traffic.

The most important parameters that can be checked are:

  • Cohesion
  • Binder adhesion
  • Resistance to abrasion
  • Consistency
