Side-by-side image for road decline in 5 years

Roads are declining faster than budgets can maintain them

Two primary causes:

  1. Materials: Traditional pavement maintenance materials are asphalt-based, therefore asphalt is being used to protect asphalt limiting protective characteristics.1
  2. Application: Both the aggregate mix and application quality depend on the individual applicators, and may vary significantly.

DuraShield-SR product benefits for local roads by GAF

DuraShield-SR material is a breakthrough technology

Your roads — one of your most expensive assets — should last longer and be designed for communities. They call that a “win-win”.

  • Long-Lasting Performance: Slows oxidation and weathering1, hard cure means no tracking, improves friction tested in accordance with ASTM E965-15 and ASTM E303-22
  • Community-Friendly: Non-asphalt-based formulation, low VOC, and same day return to service
  • Mitigates Heat / UV: Keeps asphalt substrate flexible & stickier longer,2 reduces pavement surface temperatures by up to 10°F and reduces ambient air temperatures by up to 2.5°F †

  • I recently partnered with GAF Roads and had the opportunity to review multiple projects featuring their DuraShield SR. As a professional with 27 years in pavement management, I can confidently say that DuraShield SR stood out significantly from other pavement preservation treatments, outperforming traditional asphalt emulsion coatings in durability and substrate protection.
