Hear the Truth About Pavement Preservation from Over 20 HA5 Customers

Engineered to Preserve

HA5 was developed to meet the demand for effective asphalt preservation on residential roadways without the negative side effects of chip seals or slurry seals. Specifically engineered to preserve the native asphalt binder, HA5 is exceptional at preventing oxidative damage. As a result, you will have streets that last longer and cost less to own.

What is HA5

HA5 is arguably the fastest-growing trend in pavement preservation, now in use by over 200 public agencies. Meeting the stringent demands of a High Density Mineral Bond, HA5 is uniquely emulsified with a near neutral charge that is able to hold a unique blend of fine aggregates. Limiting oxidative damage from moisture is fundamental to HA5’s preservation qualities. But just as critical to the prevention of oxidative damage from moisture is preventing oxidative damage from Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. HA5 combats oxidation from UV by including limited amounts of specific polymers to reflect damaging UV rays.

HA5 features include:

A specialized, non-ionic emulsion specifically engineered to carry mineral types that are not compatible with anionic and cationic emulsions.
A blend of ultra-dense, angular-shaped fine aggregates formerly unavailable in a thin surface treatment.
A combination of specific polymers that combat oxidation by deflecting Ultra-Violet Rays.

The former head of pavement materials at the country’s largest state DOT, published research findings that identified pavements with HA5 High Density Mineral Bond installed had a 67% delay in the age-hardening of the asphalt. Keeping asphalt flexible prolongs the useful life of the pavement and reduces cracking resulting from pavements becoming brittle.

HOW HA5 IMPACTS ASPHALT AGING

“Using conventional as well as leading-edge testing methods to identify the age hardening of the asphalt binders, researchers have identified a 67% delay in the age hardening of the asphalt binder with HA5 installed as a pavement preservation strategy. This ability to reduce flexibility loss supports an in-field case study where after just a four-year period a side-by-side comparison identified cracking to be reduced by nearly 9 times with HA5 installed.”

Tested, Proven Performance

An evaluation was completed comparing HA5’s performance in a side-by-side comparison with another treatment. On one section, a commercially available polymer-enhanced asphalt emulsion was installed within a week of an adjoining HA5 installation.

The original paving of both sections was done as one project nine years before the side-by-side maintenance treatments were installed.

Each of the treated sections had multiple crack samples taken. The HA5 treated section had sample areas examined that calculated to an average .007 of the surface experiencing cracking and the polymer enhanced asphalt emulsion sampled road surface was found to have .06 of the area with cracking. That’s an astounding 857% more cracking in the non-HA5 treated pavement compared to the road having had HA5 installed.

Owners and managers responsible for asphalt roads and parking surfaces realize significant reduction in pavement lifecycle costs with HA5 due to the asset preservation qualities and durability of the installations. In use by public agencies nationwide, it is also the choice for school districts, religious organizations, medical providers, and various business types for asset preservation.
