to the surface of asphalt streets to restore the wear surface, while rejuvenating the
oxidized asphalt. There is no bleeding and the street will have the appearance of
new overlay for approximately one-third of the cost of other types of applications. The
slurry seal process is a mixture of rock, emulsion, water, polymers and portland
