Surface Treatments – C.R. Contracting

What is a Surface Treatment?

Surface Treatment can be a variety of topical applications that protect and prolong the life of your existing asphalt. A treatment should be used to protect and save a sound pavement from deterioration. It is not meant to be a corrective system for a failed or failing road. It can, however, be used as a stopgap method to keep a pavement from getting worse. Contact CR Contracting to discuss what surface treatment is the right solution for your pavement.

Add Years To Your Pavement

CR Contracting provides a number of surface treatment solutions.

Why Pave When You Can Save?

Irreversible damage such as pavement raveling and surface degradation is the result of failing to preserve and maintain your investment in asphalt. The innovative GSB-88 is a chemically-engineered asphalt pavement sealant designed to penetrate the asphalt matrix and replenish the vital oils and binders lost due to oxidation and aging.

Did You Know?

GSB-88 saves up to 10x the cost of one asphalt overlay!

The Technology

Hover Over Symbols

Gilsonite

Gilsonite is a natural form of asphalt found in the Uintah Basin. Because gilsonite does not undergo the oil refining process, it is naturally better for the environment, extending the life of pavement with its unique chemistry.

Longer Life Cycle

Gilsonite is a unique, naturally-occurring asphalt ore found in Utah that lasts longer and requires less refining than traditional petroleum oils.

Environmentally Friendly

GSB-88^® earned an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) attesting to the significant environmental benefits of its use in preserving pavement.

Solves Major Two Issues

Two primary causes of asphalt deterioration are surface oxidation and moisture damage. GSB-88^® is designed to mitigate these impacts by reintroducing essential binders to the pavement matrix, enhancing the structure and adding years of life, while simultaneously sealing the surface to help repel water.

Roadways GSB-88 is Applied To
GSB-88^® (gilsonite sealer-binder emulsion) is an environmentally friendly restorative sealer for pavements that are in fair to good condition. Being economical and versatile, C.R. Contracting has preserved state highways, county roads, city streets, and airport runways.
