GSB-88®
P-628 & UFGS 32 01 13.63 compliant
The original emulsion-based restorative and protective sealer brought to market in 1988.
HARNESSing SUPERIOR CHEMISTRy
GSB-88®
P-628 & UFGS 32 01 13.63
appropriate for a range of pavements, from new to pavements with PCI ratings down into the 50s.
Oxidation ruins asphalt pavement binder. Our unique GSB chemistry slows the molecular aging and deterioration reactions in pavement binder oils, so it keeps the binder healthy.
When it comes to preserving roads, the optimal amount of high-quality, anti-aging binder varies, depending on the condition and use of the pavement. And you may have different project experience preferences.

GET MORE YEARS OF USEFUL LIFE FROM OLD pavements without sacrificing safety or quality
GSB Products are compliant with FAA specifications and recommended for runway applications because they don’t “slide” when it comes to friction performance. Safety is the first priority on any airfield project, especially when runways are involved. GSB Products safely preserve hundreds of runways around the world.

WE’VE GOT
YOU COVERED
There are two things a surface treatment can do to extend the service life of an asphalt pavement:
Penetrate to enhance it from the inside, or seal to protect it from the outside. Most surface treatments do one thing, but GSB Products do both:
integrates to restore
Filled sealers sit on the pavement surface and may crack, peel (delaminate), or wear off. GSB-88® becomes part of the surface matrix to restore, restructure, strengthen, and protect the aging pavement.
Seals to protect
Traditional “rejuvenators” that penetrate pavement do not seal or protect. GSB-88® leaves a durable seal that rebinds, strengthens, and protects against UV and water degradation.
GSB-88® has been used successfully
on roads and airfields around the
world for more than 40 years
Massive ROI
Achievable
Multiple longitudinal studies have demonstrated that road asphalt pavements with high-quality surface treatments, when applied early in the pavement life and with regular reapplications, will maintain significantly higher PCI values than unmaintained pavements.
It is essential that cost-effective interventions – such as the application of proven GSB products – are made early and often to mitigate surface oxidization.
As much as 60% of the life of the pavement can be lost to oxidation in the first two years.
