Elevate your Pavement Performance from the Bottom Up
J-Band® significantly reduces air voids in longitudinal joints from the bottom up – literally.
J-Band is applied under the longitudinal joint in new asphalt and migrates upward as the hot mix is installed on top of it.
J-Band not only extends the life of the joint, but it improves performance of the entire pavement as it:
- Stabilizes the unconfined edge.
- Dramatically reduces air voids.
- Nearly eliminates permeability.
- Significantly extends the life of the joint.
Efficient Application
Even though it’s a new
way of doing things,
J-Band is applied
immediately prior
to paving, as part
of the normal HMA
construction process.
Wide Coverage
Using an inline parallel
spray bar, J-Band
covers an area 12
or 18 inches wide
on top of existing
pavement under the
eventual location of the
longitudinal joint.
Fast Acting
In no more than 30
minutes after applying
J-Band, the road is
ready for construction
traffic, keeping the
installation process
efficient and traffic
flowing.
Upward Moving
Unlike other joint
treatments, J-Band
migrates upward, filling
voids and fending off
the joint’s enemies: air
and water.
Long Lasting
J-Band is proven
to extend the life
of your pavement’s
longitudinal joint threefold,
from the usual 4-5
years without J-Band
— to 15+ years with
J-Band.
Money Saving
J-Band is a long-term
proposition. On the
average roadway,
every $1 invested
in J-Band typically
saves agencies $2 in
avoided and deferred
maintenance costs.
Proven Performance
J-Band has been successfully installed with proven results on
roads throughout Illinois as well as Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, and Missouri. Using J-Band helps
save what matters most: time, money, and lives. To see this game-changing pavement preservation
