PRODUCT NEWS Sustainability with SealMaster ® Liquid Road ® Formulated to last three times longer than typical sealcoat Implementing “the right treatment, for the right pavement condition at the right time,” is the mantra in pavement preservation cir- cles — and for good reason.

Choosing the best approach can mean all the difference between saving or spending hundreds of thousands or, even millions of dollars over time. Eco-friendly, asphalt-based products like SealMaster’s Liquid Road, a polymer modified, fiber-rein- forced bituminous surface treatment, have become an inte- gral part of many public and private pavement maintenance and preservation programs. It’s formulated to last about three times longer than typical sealcoat, providing extremely dura- ble protection to roads, streets, airport taxi- ways, parking lots and other paved assets.
