Trusted by DOTs and road authorities worldwide

One of the best ways to keep new pavement in top shape is to protect the joints. Crafco’s joint solutions have been independently verified to slow costly deterioration.

Seal sawcut concrete joints with Crafco Roadsaver Silicone to block moisture and incompressible debris without compromising the joint’s ability to move. Roadsaver Silicone is jet-fuel resistant and has a demonstrated service life of 20+ years.

Maximize bonding between asphalt courses with Crafco Joint Adhesive. It prevents premature raveling and cracking of longitudinal joints, which extends pavement life and preserves a smooth ride for traffic.

Step 1

Preparation

  • Concrete pavements:
    • Ensure concrete is prepared according to ASBA guidelines, including a vapor barrier below the slab.
    • Ensure new concrete pavement has cured at least 28 days and is uniformly textured for proper adhesion.
    • Etch new and old concrete with muriatic acid and flush with clean water.
    • Apply two-part acrylic epoxy primer to ensure proper bond.
  • Asphalt pavements:
    • Ensure asphalt pavement complies with ASBA asphalt guidelines, including mix design and compaction.
    • New asphalt pavement must be aged at least 14 days before application.
  • All pavements must be clean, dry and free of grease, oil or debris before application.

    • Pour a ribbon of material along one end of the area to be surfaced. Spread evenly with a squeegee by walking in one direction and then reversing direction.
    • Before applying the next coat of material, inspect coating and scrape off any ridges, lumps or other imperfections.
    • Apply the next coat 90 degrees to the previous coat.
