Protect your Arlington asphalt investment with a durable slurry coating, designed to withstand Texas weather and heavy traffic.
Get Your Free EstimateSlurry coating is a cold-mix paving application that provides a new wearing surface to existing asphalt pavement. This service includes thorough cleaning of the existing surface, crack sealing for minor imperfections, and the application of a uniform layer of asphalt emulsion, finely graded aggregates, and chemical additives. The result is a sealed, dark, and revitalized surface that protects the underlying pavement from environmental damage and wear.
Our approach to slurry coating involves careful surface preparation, which is critical for the longevity of the application. We begin by sweeping and washing the pavement to remove all dirt, debris, and loose material. Any existing cracks up to 1/4 inch wide are filled and sealed, preventing water penetration. This meticulous preparation ensures maximum adhesion and a smooth, durable finish that performs as expected.
For Arlington properties, slurry coating provides essential protection against the intense Texas sun, frequent temperature fluctuations, and occasional heavy rains. These conditions accelerate asphalt deterioration, leading to cracking and fading. A properly applied slurry coat acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing the brunt of these elements and significantly extending the functional life of your driveway or parking lot.
Clients often inquire about the drying time and traffic readiness. Typically, a slurry coat in Arlington will be dry to the touch within 4-8 hours, depending on humidity and temperature. The surface is usually ready for light foot traffic after 12 hours and vehicle traffic after 24-48 hours. We provide clear instructions to ensure proper curing and prevent premature damage to your newly coated surface.
Slurry coating extends the service life of your asphalt pavement by forming a protective barrier against the elements. In Arlington, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F and UV radiation is high, asphalt can quickly oxidize, leading to brittleness and cracking. A slurry coat prevents this oxidation, keeping the asphalt flexible and intact.
This application also restores the aesthetic appeal of aged asphalt, transforming a faded, gray surface into a rich, black finish. Beyond cosmetics, the new surface improves skid resistance, enhancing safety for vehicles and pedestrians. It fills minor surface voids and imperfections, creating a smoother, more uniform pavement that is easier to clean and maintain.
Considering Arlington’s expansive clay soils, which can contribute to pavement movement and stress, a well-maintained surface is crucial. Slurry coating helps mitigate the impact of these environmental factors by providing a resilient top layer that resists surface-level cracking and raveling, preserving the structural integrity of your pavement for an additional 5-7 years.
We thoroughly clean the asphalt surface, removing all dirt, oil, and loose debris. This includes power sweeping, washing, and addressing any vegetation to ensure optimal adhesion for the slurry material.
Minor cracks up to 1/4 inch wide are filled with specialized crack sealant. This prevents water penetration, which is a primary cause of pavement deterioration, ensuring a stable base for the coating.
A uniform layer of asphalt emulsion, aggregates, and additives is applied using specialized equipment. Our skilled crew ensures consistent coverage and thickness, creating a smooth and durable new wearing surface.
The newly coated surface is allowed to cure for 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions, before reopening to traffic. We conduct a final inspection to confirm the quality and readiness of your revitalized pavement.
