GC.40 (GILSONITE PAVEMENT SEALER)

About GPS Pavement Sealers

Gilsonite® uintaite’s proven properties make high-performance solvent-based and  emulsion pavement sealers dry quicker, look better and last longer. The Gilsonite  additives resist oxidation effects and remain “black” for an extended period The unique molecular fractions of Gilsonite will extend the life cycle of bitumen  binders Asphaltic and chipseal surfacings. 

GC-40 is preblended Gilsonite supplied in solid block form to bitumen supply  companies and contractors with manufacturing capabilities. The Gilsonite is blended  with local bitumen to manufacture ready to use emulsion for pavement preservation  surface sprays. The GC-40 blocks are manufactured with a 40% concentration of  Gilsonite combined with US bitumen to ease handling and blending. 

Once blended the the local supply company and or contractor can place their own  brand name on the finished emulsion product. 

LC20 is Gilsonite pavement sealer that has been pre-blended and supplied in liquid  concentrate. The LC20 is supplied with 20% concentration of Gilsonite. The contractor  can place their own brand name to the Gilsonite pavement sealer once diluted. 

Gilsonite Pavement Sealers: 

  • Coats and protects the original surfacings asphaltic binders and delays the  onset of oxidation and related binder embrittlement. 
  • Waterproofs the surfacing preventing water ingress. 
  • Extends the reliable lifecycle of the receiving pavements overall. Indirectly are good for the environment. 
  • Economical, cost-effective solution. 
  • Easy to apply. 
  • Have up to 5 – 7year life cycle 
  • Preserves the surfacings flexibility, elasticity, and strength. 

GC40 is the solid concentration block that all contractors can purchase and blend with their own bitumen to manufacture their very own brand of Gilsonite Pavement sealer. Roads and Concrete can also supply preblended Gilsonite Concentrate in liquid form as not all contractors will have the ability to mill and blend the GC40 blocks.  Irrespective how we supply the contractor can establish their very own brand name of GPS.

Gilsonite pavement sealers have a proven history of success through wide applications and great tolerance for extreme environmental conditions.  Including commercial and general aviation runways (grooved and un-grooved), taxiways, and ramps and many road pavement networks.

Gilsonite Pavement Sealers in brief.

All pavements are exposed to traffic loads and environmental conditions that lead to pavement deterioration and eventual failure.  Preventative maintenance programmes are essential to extend and maximise the initial capital investment of the constructed pavements.

Gilsonite pavement sealers are chemically engineered. Comprised of a cationic emulsion of Gilsonite ore, and specially selected plasticizers the finished emulsion once applied to the pavements will provide a durable yet flexible topcoat that will extend the life cycle of the pavement be they asphalt or chip seal.

Gilsonite pavement sealers can be applied as an emulsion or a cut back to provide a long wearing anti-oxidative seal for the surface of the asphalt pavement.
