Prime coat:
The prime coat is an application of low viscous cutback bitumen to an absorbent surface like granular bases on which binder layer is placed. It provides bonding between two layers. Unlike the tack coat, prime coat penetrates into the layer below, plugs the voids, and forms a watertight surface.
Seal Coat:
Seal Coat Seal coat is a thin surface treatment used to water-proof the surface and to provide skid resistance.
Tack coat:
Tack coat is a very light application of asphalt, usually asphalt emulsion diluted with water. It provides proper bonding between two layers of binder course and must be thin, uniformly cover the entire surface, and set very fast.
The bituminous prime coat is the first application of low viscosity liquid bituminous material over an existing porous or absorbent pavement surface like the WBM base course.
