The "Cape Seal" is a combination of two of Florida Highway Products' most effective paving techniques. The first paving course is called a "Chip Seal" and the second is known as a "Double Microsurfacing."

The Chip Seal is necessary to seal the aging pavement and provide a stress relieving membrane between the old pavement and the new. This is a highly effective preventive maintenance technique that is utilized to retard reflective cracking.

Shortly after the Chip Seal has been applied, the Double Microsurfacing is laid. The first course of the Microsurfacing will correct rutting and contour imperfections that are up to 1½ inches deep. The second course is applied to obtain the needed strength, durability and longevity of your final paved surface.


The popularity of the Cape Seal is rapidly increasing due to its cost effective nature and its ability to rehabilitate roadways that are in exceptionally poor condition. For more information regarding the individual processes involved with our Cape Seal product, please reference our descriptions of the Chip Seal and Microsurfacing applications or contact one of our regional sales managers.
