Road managers know that the longitudinal joint is the weakest link in the pavement chain. Because of its permeability, the joint is subjected to air and water that work their way down, causing cracks, deterioration, and the dreaded pothole.
Although frail, longitudinal joints are critical in asphalt pavement construction, and proper sealing is critical in preventing air and water infiltration. Early intervention reduces the risk of premature deterioration, increasing the lifespan of the road.
By using Void Reducing Asphalt Membrane (VRAM) technology and the best melter applicator, this problem can be fixed from the bottom up. The right applicator is designed for efficient operation, ensuring that it can melt and apply joint sealer quickly and effectively, saving time and resources during road maintenance projects.
Cimline’s MA4 Longitudinal Joint Sealer is the best in its class. It’s intuitive interface, durable construction, reliable accuracy, and quiet operation makes it an easy winner in the construction industry.
