Terra Prime™ - Prime Coat - Tack Coat - Seal Coat - penetrates, bonds and stabilizes the sub-base layer of asphalt pavements, thereby waterproofing it before placing the hot mix asphalt. Extensive testing, coordinated by the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Department of Transportation, has determined that Terra Prime™ outperforms all competitor products as a replacement for MC-30, a cutback asphalt that is used globally. The Environmental Protection Agency classifies cutback asphalt as a volatile organic compound, which is regulated closely by environmental agencies worldwide.
Terra Prime™ - Prime Coat - Tack Coat - Seal Coat - Replacement for MC-30, AEP, SS1 MC-30/AEP/SS1 products are laden with kerosene, a toxin, whose leaching and evaporation into the ground and atmosphere have polluted the environment for years. In addition to such concerns, MC-30 poses serious health risks to those exposed to its fumes and potential flammability. The inhalation of asphalt fumes produced by petroleum solvents can cause dizziness, headaches, intoxication and vomiting. These fumes also contain known carcinogens. Research has shown that other products, mostly emulsion-based asphalt, can replace MC-30. However, none has proved to be as effective as MC-30 — that is, until Terra Prime™. Terra Prime™ is a polymer-based emulsion that requires water dilution. It is non-petroleum-based and Eco-friendly, evaporating only water during the curing process and emitting no volatile organic compounds. It does not contain solvents or cause damage to roads or vehicles. It is easily applied, requiring no special equipment or handling procedures. Terra Prime™ is invented by the University of Texas at Austin.
Terra Prime™ is being applied with a high-tech distributor at ambient temperature. Terra Prime™ is cured and dry approximately 7.5 hours after placement. It has great surface strength and is ready for a chip seal, overlay or temporary traffic.
Another application for the Terra Prime™ product is to cool down the temperature of any city by covering the asphalt roads, pavements with our Terra Prime™. Terra Prime™ is cured and dry approximately 7.5 hours after placement. It has great surface strength and is ready for traffic and reflects the heat from the sun.
