MIX SOLUTION: UTBWC
DURA

Surface Tech’s Dura™ is an advanced solution designed to elevate the performance and durability of roads through the application of Ultra Thin Bonded Wearing Course (UTBWC). This innovative pavement surface treatment creates a thin, high-quality wearing surface that effectively safeguards the underlying pavement structure from wear, moisture, and environmental factors. UTBWC consists of a Gap graded ARCA™ mixture placed on top of a polymer modified trackless tack. Ensuring the bonding of the overlay and the pavement below. Machine less option provides ease of use and ease of installation.
