SLURRY SEAL

THE APPLICATION OF SLURRY SEAL IN THE MAINTENANCE OF BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS AND CEMENT CONCRETE SLABS IS CONSTANTLY INCREASING IN BRAZIL AND, UNDOUBTEDLY, AT THE PRESENT STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT OF ROAD TECHNOLOGY, IT IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND RATIONAL MAINTENANCE PROCESS FOR BITUMINOUS SURFACING. IT HAS IMPORTANT PENETRATING AND PERFORMANCE QUALITIES, BESIDES ITS RESISTANCE TO ABRASION. ITS APPLICATION COULD AND SHOULD BE DONE DURING ANY PERIOD OF THE SERVICE TIME OF THE PAVEMENT, PROVIDED ITS UNDERSTRUCTURE IS NOT SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. SLURRY SEAL PRESENTS EXCELLENT RESULTS WHEN APPLIED TO WORN OUT OR OLD LSURFACES DUE TO ITS ABILITY TO CONDUCT AND FIX RESIDUAL ASPHALT PARTICLES INSIDE THE MASS OF THE SURFACING, FILLING IN THE VOIDS OF THE PAVEMENTS. SLURRY SEAL PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT NON-SKIDDING QUALITY ON WEARING COURSES AND ELIMINATES ANY SKIDDING PROBLEMS OF THE ROADS. /RRI/
