PAVEMENT OVERLAYS USING POLYESTER RESIN AND ASPHALT LAMINATES
LAMINATED RESIN AND ASPHALT OVERLAYS ARE DURABLE COATINGS UNDER HEAVY VEHICLES AND WHERE SURFACE TEXTURES ARE REQUIRED. BOTH LARGE AND SMALL PARTICLES CAN BE HELD FIRMLY IN PLACE AGAINST TRAFFIC ABUSE. RUMBLE STRIP DURABILITY SHOWS IMPROVEMENT OVER THE USE OF ASPHALT ALONE. FOR THE MOST PART CONVENTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES SUFFICE FOR CONSTRUCTING THESE NEW SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH A SPRAY RIG IS NEEDED, COMPONENTS ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE. ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT USED IS PORTABLE, INDEPENDENT OF LARGE CENTRAL PLANTS, AND MAY BE APPLIED IN REMOTE AREAS. INSTALLATION COSTS, THEN, ARE MINIMUM. WHILE THE INITIAL COSTS OF RESINS IS HIGH COMPARED WITH THOSE OF CEMENT AND ASPHALT, THEY HAVE DESIRABLE PROPERTIES THAT NEITHER OF THESE OTHER MATERIALS POSSESS.
