Frequently Asked Questions

Endurablend™ Systems was developed as a durable and versatile thin polymer cement overlay. It can be applied to both asphalt and concrete to provide protection, increase friction, improve aesthetics and provide pedestrians and drivers with a safer and more appealing finished surface.

Yes! Endurablend™ Systems contain no harmful ingredients to either humans or the environment. It is a water-based product, has a stable cured structure and has a higher solar reflectivity than asphalt without releasing toxins into the environment. And, because it is applied at ambient temperatures, Endurablend™ Systems have low energy requirements. It can even qualify for LEED Credits.

A standard single layer of Endurablend™ Systems is applied from 1-3mm thick. 

As with all other micro-surfacing products, it will crack if the pavement structure cracks. However, because Endurablend™ is more thermally compatible with both asphalt and concrete than most other coatings, the reflective cracking is mitigated in many circumstances. Endurablend™ Systems patterned surface treatments allow for pavement cracking in predetermined channels which extend the life of the coating, provide a more consistent riding surface, and a uniform appearance.

Yes! Endurablend™ Systems is impervious to all hydrocarbons, namely fuels and oils. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for parking garages, refueling areas and airports.

If the asphalt exhibits alligator cracking due to oxidation, then Endurablend™ Systems can be applied if the asphalt is stable under traffic. Endurablend™ Systems is not recommended for structurally unsound pavements with subgrade and base failures that telegraph up into the HMA or concrete surface and exhibit medium or high severity alligator cracking in the wheel paths.

Though similar products have existed since the 1990s, Endurablend’s unique formula was introduced in 2008. Since then, it has demonstrated a superior durability and versatility on both asphalt and concrete surfaces subjected to heavy vehicular traffic.

Endurablend Systems will prevent UV from aging asphalt and its semiflexible, wearing surface is designed to preserve pavement integrity. Its natural light gray color also cools the supporting asphalt, which extends its rutting life exponentially.
