The Slurry Seal / Micro-Surfacing Process

Micro-Surfacing is made and applied to existing pavements by a specialized machine, which carries all components, mixes them on site, and spreads the mixture onto the road surface.

Materials are continuously and accurately measured, and then thoroughly combined in the Micro-Surfacing machine's mixer.

As the machine moves forward, the mixture is continuously fed into a full-width "surfacing" spreader box which spreads the Micro-Surfacing across the width of a traffic lane in a single pass. Edges are automatically feathered.

The new surface is initially a dark brown color and changes as the water is chemically effected and the surface cures, permitting traffic within one hour, in most cases.
