ABOUT THE PAVEMENT COATING TECHNOLOGY CENTER
The Pavement Coating Technology Center (PCTC) is a joint enterprise of industry and the University of Nevada, Reno. The mission of the center is to provide opportunities for dialogue, education, advancement, and improvement of all aspects of the pavement coating industry through meetings, research and development, training, seminars, communications, publications, and other programs and activities.
The Center's scientific goal is to provide the seal coating industry with guidelines and standards for both materials and application methods, a strategy that has worked to improve other elements in the pavement construction industry.
With a primary emphasis on product performance, the environment, health, and safety, the PCTC determines the qualities that could lead to products or procedures being recommended for use.
Our goal is clear: the expanded use of pavement coatings through effective cooperation between private industry, government agencies, and the University. Through this cooperative effort, we will improve the industry's quality by providing a framework the end user can use to judge what a quality product is, what an effective mix design is, and what the application specification should be.
The PCTC welcomes the membership of any supplier, manufacturer, contractor, or other company or agency interested in the pavement coating industry. For membership information, contact:
