Find Your Paving Supplies Here

As autumn closes in, you may be looking at a tired or worn paving fleet. If you’re in need of parts, components or a whole new machine, the OEMs who make these elements for a perfect paving train are hard at work to supply the winter downtime rush. This article includes a handful of offerings that were provided to make it easier for you to find who’s keeping your bottom line in mind. Let them know you appreciate them making your planning easier through AsphaltPro magazine.

Asphalt Systems Inc.

Asphalt Systems Inc., Kansas City, Missouri, offers GSB FrictionSeal™ for preservation/pavement maintenance projects. It’s a product that combines emulsion and aggregate and is applied via a specialized distributor. GSB stands for Gilsonite Sealer Binder, and it’s the key ingredient of the GSB sealer by ASI. The product is designed to halt surface deterioration, extend service life and slightly increase the pavement condition index (PCI) of a pavement, all while maintaining or improving friction. The pavement life is extended by getting a more substantial, heavier seal than a fog seal with friction-fine aggregate; yet a lighter seal than a chip seal, slurry seal or micro surfacing treatment, according to ASI. The treatment is applied via a specialized distributor truck. The sealer and friction-fine aggregate are administered in a separate, but simultaneous application via a single-pass system that ASI states does not require sweeping after treatment. GSB sealers infuse into, bind and restore the aged asphalt surface as they simultaneously seal it and protect it against oxidation, deterioration and chip loss.
