A sprayed seal is a thin layer of binder sprayed onto a pavement surface with a layer of aggregate incorporated and which is impervious to water. A Sprayed Seal is sometimes referred to as a “Spray Seal”, a “Bitumen Seal” or a “Chip Seal”. A hot mixture of bitumen and kerosene (binder) is sprayed on the road surface by a tanker to form a thin waterproof membrane. The bitumen is then covered with a thin layer of aggregate with tip trucks. The aggregate is then embedded into the bitumen by rolling with a multi wheeled roller to form a skid resistant surface. The sealing aggregate consists of blue metal gravel with a nominal diameter of 7mm, 10mm or 14mm. Crumb rubber or polymer can be added to the bitumen to provide greater flexibility and strength.
