Definition

Tarring is the act of applying tar or a tar-like substance onto a surface for various purposes. Tar is a thick, black, sticky substance obtained from various natural materials, such as wood or coal, through a process of heating or distillation. The substance is commonly used as a protective coating or sealant for different structures and materials.
In the context of road construction and maintenance, tarring refers to the process of applying a layer of hot liquid tar mixed with aggregates, such as gravel or crushed stones, onto the surface of a road. This process, known as tar and chip or chip seal, provides a durable and wear-resistant surface, protecting the underlying road structure from weathering and increasing traction for vehicles.
Another application of tarring is in roofing. Asphalt or bitumen, a type of tar, is often used in the construction of roofs to provide waterproofing and insulation. Tarring in this context involves the application of hot or cold liquid tar onto a roof surface, followed by the installation of roofing materials, such as shingles or membranes.
Tarring can also be used to protect wooden structures, such as boats or fences, from water damage, decay, and insect infestations. The tar acts as a barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into the wood and causing deterioration.
Overall, tarring involves the application of tar for protective purposes, including road surfacing, roofing, and preserving wooden structures.
