Referring to the thickness of the application to the pavement, Flowers added, “With our recently improved application process, we are confident that the roads will have a proper seal, look nice, and provide an improved driving surface. Plus, with this more aggressive approach to applications, we can extend the life of the pavement at least five to eight years depending on the level and type of traffic.”
