Statewide BItumen
Brisbane is the only company in Australia
that can offer you a coloured bitumen sprayseal that
can be made to look like a natural gravel path that
will never wash away.
This surface is widely used in heritage listed
properties, bush walkways cycle tracks and private
driveways. SEAL-O-FLEX 205
really is a special product.
The unique system pioneered by
Ron Vanderhoff from Bushmates Coloured Bitumen is
labour intensive and incorporates many custom built
machines never seen before. The results are hard to
explain, perfectly imperfect, perfectly natural.
To understand the cost
comparisons from standard bitumen to
SEAL-O-FLEX 205 here is a summary for
the coloured bitumen sprayseal process.
-
SEAL-O-FLEX
205 is imported from Holland in 205L
drums, mainly because coloured jobs are small and
the product cant be reheated to often so small
storage is required.
-
Drums are loaded one at a
time into custom built drum decanter (melter) that
will hold 3000 Litres when full. One full load
from cold to mixing temperature will usually take
24 hrs.
-
The product is then pumped
into a storage / circulating tank 1200L at a time.
-
A small quantity of
SEAL-O-FLEX 205 is then
pumped into a high speed mixer where about 2
percent natural rock pigment is added and mixed
for 15 minutes to form a concentrated batch of
coloured bitumen. This is then sucked back into
the circulation tank and circulated for 1 hour.
-
Finally the finished
product is ready to be pumped into our Road
Sprayers which must to be completely clean of
black bitumen or it will contaminate
the colour and turn it grey.
1 litre of black
bitumen will ruin 2000 L of colour ).
SEAL-O-FLEX 205 is also 5
times the cost of standard bitumen before we mix
the colour in so contaminiation is a big issue.
-
Once the road sprayer is
full or has the correct quantity required the
remainder of the coloured bitumen is put back into
205 L drums and stored for later use or transport.
-
Pre mixed drums can than
be sent to remote locations but must still
accompany a decanter for re melting.
-
Base preparation /
Primerseal / 10mm black bitumen seal and then the
SEAL-O-FLEX 205 is
applied at between 190 and 205 degrees C and
covered with matching 5-7 mm aggregate. The
surface is then rolled extensively to minimise
loose aggregate on completion.
We have tried to simply the
process in an effort to reduce cost to the customer
but at present we have been unable to improve the
process.
It may be more expensive than
standard bitumen but it will last twice as long and
looks 10 times as good.
