Slurry Seal History |

Later in that decade, extensive worldwide experimentation began in earnest. But it was not until the 1960's, with the introduction of improved emulsifiers and continuous flow machines, that real interest was shown in the usage of slurry seal for a wide variety of applications.

In the early 1930's, a coating consisting of
a mixture of very fine aggregates, asphalt binder
and water was laid out on a road in Germany. It
proved to be a novel approach, a new and
promising technique in maintaining road surfaces
-- and marked the beginning of slurry seal
development. 
Continuing advancements in mixing methods,
emulsions and machinery have made slurry seal
today's choice in providing highly durable, low
cost paving and surface maintenance. As a
treatment for everything from residential
driveways to public roads, highways, airport
runways, parking lots and a multitude of other
paved surfaces, slurry seal is now used
extensively throughout the world. Local, state
and federal agencies -- including the military --
have a growing and ongoing commitment to the use
of slurry seal in their maintenance programs,
attesting to its effectiveness and economy.
