Everything Residents Need to Know About Road Preservation Spraying
When your local government chooses to use Corrective Asphalt Materials, to preserve your roads, they are choosing a company that specializes in extending road life in a way that delays more costly and disruptive pavement repairs such as resurfacing. Because pavement preservation prevents weathering and surface deterioration, it saves local government’s money and contributes to lower taxes.

What to Expect When We Spray Reclamite
| What we do | What to expect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Reclamite is applied to roads that are in good condition or new. Reclamite is a pink color product that is applied by spraying. A fine, aggregate stand is applied to the surface within 20-30 minutes of spraying. | The freshly treated road looks wet. The aggregate sand blots up excess product. It is not designed to adhere to the surface. You can drive on the road after the sanding. Aggregate makes the road safe to drive on while product cures. | Turn off sprinkler systems for 24 hours. Keep pets off the wet surface, so they don’t get oil in their coats. We use a fine, sand that won’t damage property or vehicles. Any light residue that tracks onto your driveway will disappear within 1-2 weeks. It will not permanently stain concrete. Please drive slowly through the sanded area. |

What to Expect When We Spray CRF
| What we do | What to expect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
CRF is used for roads that are somewhat aged. CRF is a black color emulsion that is applied by spraying. After letting the treatment cure for 30 mins, we’ll apply a heavy coat of lime screenings (sand) to completely cover the surface. | The lime sand blots up excess product and helps the emulsion cure. It does not permanently stick to the surface. A small percentage of lime will stick to surface. You can drive on the road after the lime sand screening are applied. | Turn off sprinkler systems. Keep pets off the wet surface, so they don’t get oil in their coats. The lime sand will not damage vehicles or property. The sand may cause light dust based on traffic speed and volume. High volume roads may experience higher levels of temporary dusty conditions. If any emulsion gets on your car it will not damage the paint or clear coat. It can be easily removed with WD-40 or bug remover. |

Up to 90 percent of the lime sand will be swept up and removed after 3-5 days. Sand may be left up to 2 weeks in cul-de-sacs. After 1-2 weeks, we check the road is curing properly. | It is normal for the road to feel a little tacky after the lime sand is removed. Some areas of the road may look darker than others. The CRF won’t track onto your driveway unless driven through before the sanding process. Light sand may track into driveway and can be swept off. | It is normal to see light scuffing (caused by vehicle turning) in front of driveways and in cul-de-sacs You may notice some loose lime sand or aggregate. |
