Decades of research by former DOD and FAA subject matter experts and consulting engineers have found GSB treatments more rigorously evaluated than other treatments and showing superior performance over decades.
*P-608 and P-608-R were the only FAA Surface Treatment Specifications applied on all airfield pavements with limitations.
INDUSTRY UPDATE · FAA AC 150/5370-10J
NEW SPEC NUMBERS.
SAME SUPERIOR CHEMISTRY.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ASPHALT PAVEMENT REPAIR & PRESERVATION
Most proven & safest way to keep new & good pavements good.
FAA P-628 (GSB-88®):
- Most proven: Longitudinal studies confirm superior performance.
- Safest: Unlike most FAA p-specs, no restrictions on application.
- Bonus: GSB-88® has been certified “green” for more than a decade.
FAA P-628-R (GSB-78®):
- Most proven: Longitudinal studies confirm superior performance.
- Safest: Unlike most FAA p-specs, no restrictions on application.
- Bonus: GSB-78® can be applied at night and within tight windows.
MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO ADDRESS WEATHERING, RAVELING & FOD.
Most Cost-Effective:
- Just-in-time budget and operational flexibility.
- Best long-term value-for-dollar for surface life.
- No sacrificing safety or quality.
