Not only is it a cost savings, but treating asphalt is helping the environment! Extending the life of existing pavement helps save raw materials and reduces the burden on the environment. As more items are extracted from petroleum, bitumen needs fortification. The answer is Gilsonite.
Gilsonite is a non-toxic, naturally occurring 99.85% pure mineral asphalt ore. When dissolved and combined with base stock materials it fortifies and strengthens the GSB products. GSB Products out perform refined asphalt and coal tar products in laboratory and field research by as much as 12:1 ratio. (Confirmed by the Army Corp of Engineers)
GSB-88 is environmentally safe and responsible way to maintain pavements.
