The final layer of stone chipping is sometimes covered by a fog spray, which helps to prevent whip-off.
This is mainly done to provide:
- A waterproof cover to the underlying pavement
- A safe all-weather, dust-free riding surface for traffic with adequate skid resistance
- Protection to the underlying layer from the abrasive and destructive forces of traffic and the environment Single Seal and Double Seal
A double seal is a sprayed application of bituminous binder followed by a single layer of stone chippings, followed by a second spray application of bituminous binder and a single layer of smaller sized stone chippings or sand. The final layer of stone chippings is sometimes covered by a fog spray to prevent whip-off. Double seals can be made up from the following combinations of stone aggregate and sand:
- 9,5 mm chips and sand
- 13,2 mm chips and sand
- 13,2 mm chips and 6,7 mm
Application
A double seal is normally used as a first seal on a newly constructed where a more durable surfacing than a single seal is required. A double seal is applied to:
