FAQ  Frequently Asked Questions!



What makes our exclusive product SLURRY-C0AT work so well? 

The success of SLURRY-COAT is the result of many years of lab and field endeavors combined with state of the art engineering technologies. Our SLURRY-COAT acrylic 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 and increases adhesion to mineral surface.  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.  Much of the new science from that development has been used in the creation of our SLURRY-COAT.

How is SLURRY-COAT 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?                           

Over 30 years of usage indicates SLURRY-COAT get's the job done right and cost effectively.  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.   Meets or exceeds all Michigan and federal Specifications R-P-335(GSA-FSS).  Any Slurry-Coat written material or verbal stated estimates and projections of surface life or wear are in no way a guarantee or promise of any kind. 

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-COAT 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-COAT the rate at which the existing bituminous surface material oxidizes is greatly reduced.  SLURRY-COAT  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-COAT to preserve pavements is becoming the preferred choice by many Commercial and Residential property owners.
