Service Life

Q: What is the service life of flexible film-forming pavement?

A: The service life depends mainly on the vehicle load and traffic frequency.

1)   Under normal conditions: 10-15 years.

2)   Heavy vehicles (over 50 tons) shorten the life of all types of pavement.

Compared with traditional pavement:

1)   Cement pavement will develop irreparable cracks in 2-5 years under heavy load; when crushed by heavy vehicles, cement pavement is like glass, once broken, it  cannot be repaired and can only be rebuilt.

2)   Flexible film-forming pavement is made ofpolymer resin and bio-based materials, has self-healing functions, and can extend its service life through repair. Its principle is similar to the self-repair mechanism of the skin.
