FAQ  Frequently Asked Questions!



What makes SLURRY-COAT  work so well? 

Our success of is the result of many years of lab and field endeavors combined with state of the art engineering technologies. The all new, high-tech Space Age Acrylic Technology we use is derived from a decade of vigorous polymer-acrylic science research and team development within approved companies.  Our composite pavement process utilizes a special formulation which is selectively introduced to create a totally new concept in asphalt product design.  It modifies the molecular bonds within the asphalt emulsion and mixture substantially improves the asphalt’s ductility, raises it’s softening point, increases adhesion to mineral surfaces, and renders the finished product insoluble.  SLURRY-COAT cross-links as it cures, high resistance to power steering marks and scuffing. Meets the description of 'GRAS' - Generally Regarded As Safe - Contains no Formaldehyde or other biocides.  It all started with technology derived from research by teams of scientists focused on tougher, more durable materials to withstand the hardships of earth re-entry for the Space Shuttle program.  Much of the new science from that development has been used in the creation of  SLURRY-COAT.

How is SLURRY made and applied?

Raw materials are carried in our specially designed equipment and made independently at every job site. It is then applied to and existing pavement surface and finished with a timely flow application. Stocking of material for future use leads to LESS waste and reworking than with paving.  

What kind of Results can I expect?                           

29 years of usage indicates SLURRY-COAT may last up to 2 to 3 times longer than sealtcoating.  We get RESULTS!  Thousands of satisfied customers since 1979.  Master Certified, references and testimonials provided.  (Surface life estimates or projections are not guaranteed results)   

Is there any type of guarantee or warranty?  

Yes!  ALL WORK GUARANTEED!    We offer a Limited Warranty with every job!  Our work provides immediate visible results with a completely rehabilitated, safer, quality job.

What happens if I don't maintain my asphalt?

Eventually asphalt pavement wears out from traffic and exposure to elements such as gasoline, oils, de-icers, chemicals, moisture, wind, sun and rain will result in a loss of its cohesive properties. Parking lots and driveways are particularly susceptible to these problems which cause pavement failure and costly repairs. Over time pavement oxidation from sunlight will cause aggregate to ravel and open to water penetration. Excessive water will sap the internal cohesive strength of asphalt pavement. If allowed to penetrate into the sub-base, cracking and more severe failures will occur. 

Can SLURRY be used for Preventative Maintenance?

YES!  It is well suited as a preventive maintenance treatment to extend the life of sound asphalt pavements. Preventive maintenance treatments are low-cost treatments that retard deterioration of the pavement, maintain or improve the functional condition of asphalt and extend the pavement's service life. It provides protection of the pavement surface by delaying the appearance of surface defects caused by both the environment and the associated oxidization of the existing surface. Oxidization of the bituminous surface material leads to surface defects - predominantly raveling, potholes, as well as thermal and age cracking. By using SLURRY the rate at which the existing bituminous surface material oxidizes is greatly reduced.  SLURRY  has binder rich mixtures which waterproof and seal existing surfaces, protecting the pavement from the adverse effects of the environment. The concept of pavement preservation (as opposed to existing strategies of reactive treatments and reconstruction) is gaining acceptance in North America. The use of preventive maintenance treatments is an essential part of a pavement preservation strategy. Hence, the use of SLURRY to preserve pavements is becoming the preferred choice by many Commercial and Residential property owners.
