Slurry sealing compounds can be tailored to the specific requirements of the roadway and desired performance characteristics such as flexibility, durability and weather resistance. Microsurfacing can be applied to both low and high traffic roads, including residential streets, highways and airports.

One of the benefits of microsurfacing is that it can be done quickly, usually within a few hours, depending on the size and complexity of the project. It also requires less material and labor than other pavement maintenance techniques, making it a cost-effective option for many municipalities and transit agencies.
