Slurry Seal Emulsions

Types of Slurry

Emulsions of varying composition and setting times are mixed with any one of three grades of aggregates to create slurry seal mixes for specific purposes.

Aggregate types are I (fine), II (general), and III (coarse). Fine aggregate mixtures are used for maximum crack penetration and sealing in low density/low wear traffic areas. Type II aggregates are the most commonly used and are widely employed where moderate to heavy traffic is found. They seal and correct moderate to severe ravelling, oxidation and loss of matrix, and improve skid resistance. Type III corrects severe surface conditions -- preventing hydroplaning and providing skid resistance under very heavy traffic loads.

A slurry seal for nearly any need or condition can be custom-designed to satisfy the most difficult requirements.
