Colas Active Sealing
Colas Active Sealing - asphalt sealing and road maintenance
Colas Active Sealing is an innovative asphalt sealing and road maintenance designed to extend the service life of asphalt pavements while reducing annual maintenance costs and CO2 emissions.
By applying Colas Active Sealing, the flexibility and strength of the existing asphalt pavement are restored, helping to prevent premature deterioration and maintain optimal road performance.
As a preventive asphalt maintenance solution, Colas Active Sealing preserves your pavement investment by significantly reducing the need for costly repairs or full wearing course replacement. Fewer major repairs result in lower CO₂ emissions, as the consumption of raw material and energy is reduced. This makes Colas Active Sealing a solution that combines still more environmental sustainability with economic efficiency.
Colas Active Sealing is a versatile pavement preservation solution, suitable for all asphalt types and pavements, including roads, proving grounds, and high‑performance surfaces in airports.
Benefits of Colas Active Sealing:
- Extends the life cycle of asphalt by up to 35%
- Maintenance and lifetime extension of asphalt emits less CO2 compared to the replacement of the wearing course
- A cold applied sealing which further reduces the energy consumption
- A fast and efficient alternative with few inconveniences for traffic
- Economically advantageous compared to extensive repairs and a new wearing course
- The treatment can be repeated and further extend the service life of asphalt
- The sealing mix is adjusted during the application according to the condition of the asphalt.
Recommended timing for sealing
Signs of aging on an asphalt pavement typically appear within 8-15 years depending on traffic intensity, climate and asphalt type. We recommend Colas Active Sealing when signs of mortar and stone loss show.
It is beneficial to apply Colas Active Sealing before the asphalt pavement shows severe signs of deterioration.
