UltraFuse Bond Coat

UltraFuse Bond Coat is a polymer modified asphalt tack coat with a superior bond which can be applied with a conventional distributor as an alternative to the spray paver. UltraFuse cools in less than 20 seconds to form a non-tracking surface specifically designed to achieve the highest possible performance from OGFC, SMA and Thin Mix asphalt. UltraFuse can also be used as a Non-Tracking SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer) to provide maximum life to hotmix, warm mix, micro/slurry seals, sealcoats, glass grid and chip seals.
