WHY SEALCOATING?
Protecting your asphalt from deterioration is essential, and one of the most effective methods is through the proper application of sealcoat. Sealcoating significantly reduces maintenance expenses and can extend the lifespan of asphalt pavements by up to 300%. The investment in sealcoating is minimal compared to the high costs associated with pavement replacement. Asphalt prices are influenced by crude oil prices, which can fluctuate due to supply changes. During events like the Gulf crises, asphalt prices in the United States rose by 15% to 40%, as reported by manufacturers. Therefore, it's more economical to regularly sealcoat a parking lot using a coal tar mixture than it is to replace the entire lot.
WHAT IS SEALCOATING?
Sealcoat is a blend of emulsified asphalt or coal tar, water, mineral fillers, and various additives. It's applied directly onto the surface of asphalt pavement using methods such as rubber squeegees, brooms, or mechanical sprayers.
Sealcoat acts as a protective barrier on the asphalt surface, preventing water infiltration and shielding it from oxidation and wear caused by exposure to sunlight, air, gasoline, and oil. Additionally, sealcoating enhances the appearance of the pavement by creating a smooth, black surface ideal for markings and paint.
BENEFITS OF SEALCOATING
Sealcoating slows down oxidation and water penetration, while also resisting ultraviolet rays, gas, and oil spills. It simplifies cleaning and maintenance efforts, enhances pavement flexibility, and can triple the life expectancy of asphalt. Over time, sealcoating proves to be cost-effective, and the smooth, black finish of the parking lot significantly boosts curb appeal.
