Sealcoating...
Preserves and Protects your Asphalt.
The price of asphalt is affected by crude oil prices, which means in today’s economy it’s more important than ever to preserve your present asphalt. Sealcoating preserves asphalt for pennies per square foot.
Beautify your building by projecting a positive image of the company, facility, or residential complex and protect your expensive asphalt investment. You can renew ageing pavement with our complete pavement sealer system.
Sealcoating asphalt restores that Rich, Black, New Look appearance! Sealcoating is the key to a successful pavement maintenance program. Proper Sealcoating will easily double the life of your existing asphalt. Sealcoating every two to three years will help prevent surface deterioration -It protects against damaging water penetration and surface oxidation plus the deterioration affects from gasoline & oil. And the sooner asphalt is sealed after its initial installation the better. Your new asphalt should be sealed six months to a year from the date of installation. This gives the asphalt time to cure but seals in the oils and tars that give asphalt the flexibility to withstand traffic and the elements.

Here Are A Few More Rewards For Consistently Sealing Your Asphalt’s Surface:
Sealcoating Beautifies and restores appearance to that Like New finish and our appropriate prep work is the key.
So we always take great care to assure that the asphalt is properly prepared prior to application. Prior to applying a Sealcoat, any structural failures or cracks on the pavement must be repaired. All potholes must be removed and replaced, cracks must be cleaned and filled, and oil spots cleaned or primed. Once the pavement is ready, the application can proceed as outlined in our specification sheet.
Slows oxidation and water penetration. Sealcoating fills surface voids, which reduces exposure to oxygen and UV rays and reduces the depth to which oil or gas can penetrate the pavement.
Sealcoating acts as a waterproofing agent, minimizing the rate at which water enters pavement. Without it, water can permeate more freely resulting in freeze/thaw expansion and contraction of the pavement.
Resists oil and gas spills.
Gasoline dripping from a topped-off fuel tank during hot weather can soften and break down unsealed asphalt pavements. Coal tars used in sealcoat are impervious to gas and oil spills.
Easier to clean and maintain.
Sealcoating will fill surface voids while coating the pavement surface. The resulting smooth and even texture makes the surface easier to maintain year-round. The smooth even surface makes sweeping, snow removal and maintenance easier and less costly.
Increases pavement flexibility.
Sealcoating brings a dark black color to the pavement. The blacker it is, the more heat a pavement draws from the sun. And, the hotter it gets, the more pliable it becomes, which helps it to withstand traffic without cracking.
Protects asphalt from pressure washing.
Restaurant parking lots often extend to areas near dumpsters, where food-processing machines are pressure washed. Food waste near the dumpsters may also need to be washed away if it can't be swept away. Sealcoating protects asphalt cement from the high-volume water pressure and detergents used in pressure washing.
What is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is one of the most important elements of a pavement management plan. A Sealcoat consists of either coal tar pitch or asphalt cement mixed with inert fillers, water, emulsifying agents, or additives. Applied in thin coats, this surface treatment is used to protect off-highway pavement surfaces against gasoline, oil, salt, and water.
Want a few more Facts about the Sealcoating project?
Sealcoating should only be performed under the proper weather conditions. The recommended air and pavement temperature should be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit and rising during sealer application and for 8 hours afterward.
Traffic should be kept off a newly sealed surface for a minimum of 24 hours to allow for drying (curing) time. When this timeframe is not practical, Our staff will perform Sealcoating in separate installations to maximize convenience. It is also important to refrain from using sprinklers near the area, hosing down, or washing the area for 48 hours before and after work is completed.
