A fog seal is a light application of a diluted slow-setting asphalt emulsion to the surface of an aged (oxidized) pavement surface by preventing water from infiltrating the base. Fog Seals are the most cost-effective preservation treatment available. They seal hairline cracks and can prevent raveling on open graded surfaces. When chip sealing is followed by fog sealing, the life of the chip sealed road is expected to extend the life 3 – 5 years.
