A little history. . .• 1988 - First Trial in France• 1992 - Introduced in U.S• 1992 - Jobs in TX & AL• 1993 - Jobs in NJ & PA• 1999 - Jobs in MN
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse
What is it?• Surface Treatment
– Preventive Maintenance– Corrective Maintenance (Surface Rehabilitation)
• Single Pass System– Emulsion membrane– Thin gap-graded hot mix – Placed with Special Equipment
3 ProcessesSpray NovabondLay Hot MixSmooth the Mat
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing CoarseMachine Specially Engineered
Application of membrane
Application of HMA
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse: The Process
Existing Pavement
Surface of Mix
3/16”Membrane
Coating on mix3/8” Agg
Size
Total 9/16” Depth of Mix
The Novabond Cures, Bonding the HMA to the Pavement
Polymer Modified Membrane• Sprays easily• Cures quickly• Superior bonding
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse HMA
• High quality aggregate– Restores & retains friction
• Gap-graded– Reduces noise– Reduces backspray
• Mix designed specially for process
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing CoarseBinder
• Polymer modified binder – Less draindown– More forgiving (less sensitive to temp, etc.)– Quicker traffic return– Sticks better, less water sensitivity– Better cracking resistance– More durable
Application rates• Emulsion membrane
– 0.15 - 0.3 gal/yd2• Ultra-thin hot mix asphalt overlay
– Type A - 45-55 #/yd2– Type B - 50-65 #/yd2– Type C - 55-80+ #/yd2
• Total thickness: 3/8 to 3/4”
Rolling & Return to Traffic• Rolling only to seat aggregate• Return to traffic in 10-20 minutes
Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Coarse Construction Advantages
• Quick to apply• Reopens to traffic quickly • Cost effective
Performance• Resists wear & rutting• High skid resistance• Reduced tire splash, hydroplaning• Reduced tire noise• Seals out water• No loose aggregate• Thinner lift
– reduces applied weights – overhead clearance, curb reveal & drainage profiles– maximizes use of expensive aggregates
