E-Krete is a Portland cement based Polymer Composite Micro-Overlay (PCMO) that preserves road surfaces in a far superior manner than other alternatives.  Some of E-Krete’s characteristics that make it stand out as the superior preservation solution are:

• Life expectancy of 20 years plus…

• 3 year unconditional warranty

• Costs less than a 1½” asphalt overlay

• Provides a long lasting friction and wearing course micro-overlay that can restore old pavements to new friction standards

• Perfect for sealing slick, dried-out and eroding surfaces

• EPA approved and 100% environmentally safe - eliminates the need for toxic, petroleum

• Available in all primary colors – great for marking school zones and caution areas

• Available in a special solar reflective gray color gray which reduces surface temperature helping to prevent rutting and reduces cities’ urban heat islands

• At 1/8” thickness, it takes care of the problem and expense of milling out existing overlays as well as providing a lighter option for repairing bridges and overpasses

• Cures for traffic in 30 minutes in warm temperatures

Asphalt's surface integrity is its one critical weakness.  Jack Wilson (PolyCon Manufacturing) developed E-Krete with the realization that there is a need for a durable overlay that will adhere to asphalt and provide a protective layer creating surface integrity.  E-Krete is an environmentally green, concrete-based polymer overlay that not only bonds to asphalt, but will also adhere to concrete and metal.

After twelve years of testing and experience with this polymer composite micro-overlay (PCMO) on surfaces such as interstates, secondary roads, and parking lots, the producer (PolyCon Manufacturing) is confident to provide a three year warranty which covers peeling and delamination from the surface to which it is applied.  E-Krete can be applied to meet any friction coefficient required.  Also, it comes in many colors including a solar reflective gray that reduces surface temperature by 12 degrees Fahrenheit helping to mitigate urban heat islands.

Also after twelve years of use and tests on roads, regional and military airports, offshore helidecks and parking lots, E-Krete stands alone as the only cementitious pavement preservation material approved by the FAA, EPA, Army Corp of Engineers, and is currently in the approval process in several state DOTs including Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida.  Rising petroleum prices affecting asphalt prices positions E-Krete as being less expensive than a 1.5” asphalt overlay; it is no wonder that E-Krete is considered to be a product whose time has come.
