Cost Less…More Effective

With the rising cost of materials and limited funding, Micro Surfacing and Slurry Seal cover more surface area with less money and provide the best surface quality.

Safer…Better Service

These seals provide superior wet pavement friction and better traction in freezing conditions. The effective macro texture improves tire contact with the pavement in wet conditions and retains road salts longer for better ice control.

What is Slurry Seal?

Slurry Seal is a mixture of emulsified asphalt, well graded fine aggregates, mineral filler (or other additives) and water. It is used to renew pavement surfaces and retard moisture/air intrusion into underlying pavement. Slurry seal is applied from 1/8â€$ to 3/8â€$ thick and will fill minor cracks, restore a uniform texture and restore friction loss.

What is Micro Surfacing?

Micro Surfacing is a mixture of polymer modified asphalt emulsion, crushed dense graded aggregate, mineral filler, additives and water. This treatment provides resurfacing from 3/8â€$ to 3/4â€$ thick and returns traffic use in one hour under average conditions. This can be applied in multiple applications and provide minor reprofiling. This treatment can also fill wheel ruts up to 1 1/2â€$ in depth in one pass and produces high surface friction. Micro Surfacing is suitable for use on airport runways, interstate highways, as well as residential streets.

Benefits of Slurry & Micro Surfacing
Seals aged and raveled pavement	Macro texture for improved safety
Corrects wheel rutting (1 1/2")	Maintains ride quality
Corrects minor cracks	Restore aesthetics appeal
Eliminates dust and loose aggregate (vs. chip seal)	Provides superior skid resistance

 

Micro Surfacing vs. Slurry Seal
	Micro Surfacing	Slurry
Application	Day or Night	Day only
Thickness	3/8" to 3/4"	1/8" to 3/8"
Set Time	1 to 2 minutes	3 to 5 hours
Handwork	Allows no handwork	Handwork friendly
Aggregates	Able to lay thicker than largest aggregates	Able to lay only as thick as the largest aggregate
Rut Filling	More durable aggregates– can be used for rut filling	Cannot be used
