An emulsion prime coat penetrates the base layer, binding particles and creating a stable foundation for asphalt. It reduces dust, seals against moisture, and enhances adhesion between layers. Acting as a waterproof barrier, it protects the base until the asphalt is laid, improving durability and performance under traffic loads.
