Putting Fog and Rejuvenator Seals to the Test

Fog and rejuvenator seals can be cost-effective for preserving pavement according to an FHWA-organized study in four states. The study found that effectiveness depends on pairing the right product and technique with a particular pavement. The article includes a list of products used in test sections of sites in Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona and California, their descriptions, and the base material of the pavement best paired with the product. Fog and rejuvenator seals had fallen out of favor because some agencies attributed loss of skid resistance to them. The article provides information on the project sites, the testing methods, and the lessons learned, including how to handle the initial friction drop immediately after some of the products are applied.
