Choosing the correct pavement preservation treatment is vital to maximizing the life of your asphalt assets.

Below is an example of the performance of two types of surface treatments.

The left side was treated with a Premium Polymer Emulsion Sealer (seal coat).

The right side was treated with HA5 High Density Mineral Bond.

These two applications took place within days of each other in similar conditions.

Long-term protection is vitally important in pavement preservation.

After 4 years, the HA5 is still working to reduce UV rays and moisture's effects on the asphalt surface, while the seal coat has almost completely worn away.

Summer is back in full swing, and that's bad news for asphalt.

One of the factors that cause asphalt to deteriorate is oxidation.

Oxidation begins almost immediately after the asphalt is laid and occurs when asphalt is exposed to UV and moisture.

Intense UV rays cause the binder to become brittle, leading to cracking and bigger problems if left untreated.

UV and moisture are two factors that contribute to the oxidative aging of asphalt.

As we work our way into summer and temperatures rise, it's important to have a plan to protect your asphalt assets from the damage caused by intense UV exposure.

Municipalities and private communities are constantly working to balance their maintenance needs with the rising cost of materials and labor.

Asphalt assets can be especially challenging.

The cost of asphalt has risen dramatically over the last few years, and asphalt starts to deteriorate almost as soon as it's installed.

UV and Moisture intrusion causes asphalt to harden, leading to cracking, raveling, and more significant issues down the road.

Most oxidative aging occurs within the first two to four years of asphalt's service life, so taking early action is imperative to extending the life of your asphalt assets.

That's where HA5 comes in. HA5 works to block UV and moisture intrusion, which preserves the asphalt binder and delays oxidation.

The strain on public works departments nationwide has only increased over the last couple of years.

Higher costs of materials and labor are straining budgets and making it more difficult to provide services to the cities and their residents.

One of the most expensive assets a city owns is its road network. However, keeping that network in good shape can dramatically decrease the amount of money needed to maintain it.

We spoke with several Public Works Directors to learn about their greatest challenges and what they're doing to overcome these challenges.

Why should you keep good roads in good condition?

Well, according to James Chappel, "If we take care of our best roads first, everything else falls in line as you go."

But what is "everything else" exactly?

-Money: Keeping good roads in good shape is the most cost-effective way to manage asphalt assets for cities, counties, private communities, or anyone else who manages asphalt.

-Longer Lasting Roads: The money falls into place because maintaining good roads makes them last longer. Longer-lasting roads typically require less frequent maintenance and lower costs.

-Public Acceptance-Longer lasting roads, lower costs, and improved aesthetics result in a happier driving public in your city or private community.

Asphalt is usually the most expensive asset that a city or private community owns.

Road networks cost millions or even billions of dollars to build, but they also have a limited useful life.

Asphalt begins to deteriorate almost as soon as it's installed. If left untreated, the useful life of asphalt is somewhere around 20-30 years.

But what happens when the asphalt reaches the end of its useful life?

Major expenses for underfunded cities and private communities.

There is a way to extend the useful life of asphalt, reducing the cost of asphalt ownership.

The major contributor to non-load associated deterioration of asphalt is age hardening caused by the oxidation of the asphalt binder.

When pavement oxidizes, it loses its flexibility, which increases the likelihood of cracking.

Cracks start on the surface and grow over time as oxygen, water, and UV radiation exposure increases, further accelerating pavement deterioration.

In order to slow the effects of asphalt age hardening, it is necessary to mitigate the culprits of oxidation.

An effective surface treatment can cut off oxygen, water, and UV pathways into the asphalt mix, effectively extending the life of the asphalt.
