Weather Barrier

Accelerate chip seal curing

Weather Barrier is an eco-friendly nano-material designed to speed up the curing of Road Science chip seal bitumen emulsions. By enhancing the coalescence of bitumen, it enables faster setting and improved performance.

Don’t let slow curing and unpredictable conditions hold your projects back. Weather Barrier accelerates chip sealing, enhances productivity, and reduces risks — giving you confidence in every application. Upgrade your roadworks today with cutting-edge innovation from Road Science.

Treatment areas ideal for Weather Barrier use:

Chip sealing projects requiring rapid curing with Road Science standard or polymer-modified emulsions
High-risk areas needing early trafficking, such as shaded zones
Challenging conditions like cooler temperatures, high humidity, or nighttime applications.
