1. INTRODUCTION
Surface Dressing (SD) is a simple, highly effective,
inexpensive road surface treatment, provided
Adequate care is taken in the planning and
execution of work.
Used throughout the world for surfacing both
medium and highly trafficked roads and
As a maintenance treatment for all kinds of roads.

The softer grades are usually produced in the
refinery, but can be made in the field, by blending
appropriate amounts of kerosene or diesel or a
blend of kerosene and diesel.
With higher solvent contents, they are referred to
as cut back bitumen which for S.D work is usually
MC or RC 3000 grades.
In very rare circumstances. a less viscous grade
such as MC or RC 800 may be used if the pavement
temp, is below 15C for long periods of the year.

Once applied, it will break rapidly on contact
with chippings of most mineral types.
The cationic emulsifier is normally an antistripping agent and this ensures good initial
bonding between chippings and the bitumen

types of treatments.
Apart from S.D there are several other
kinds of surface treatments that complement
S.D, five of which are described briefly below:
Slurry seals.
A slurry seal is a mixture of Aggregates, Portland
cement filler, bitumen emulsion and additional
water (ASTM, D. 3910, 1996 BS 434 part 1+2
1984)When freshly mixed, they have a thick
creamy consistency and can be spread to a
thickness of 5 to 10mm.
