The Basics of Seal Coating
Seal Coating is a thin coat application applied to aged asphalt. There are two main features of this product. First, the sealer restores the wearing course. The oils in the sealer penetrate the existing asphalt, replacing the original petroleum lost through oxidation. We also mix our sealer with silica sand, so the sand will help fill in small voids where stones have come loose, and also fill in small spots where the wearing course has started to deteriorate. Deterioration is a natural part of the life cycle of bituminous asphalt; the sun's ultraviolet rays oxidize the asphalt, causing the binder course to lose its resiliency. This results in the formation of cracks and potholes. It is important to note that sealer will not completely fill all cracks or holes in the asphalt; rather it acts as a binder to retard further deterioration. When sealer is applied, the sealer itself becomes the wear surface thereby reducing the wear experienced by the asphalt surface below.

The second main feature of the sealer is cosmetic. The deep black color is restored to the asphalt, making the product look new again. Sealers can be expected to last two to five years depending on traffic conditions, shading, and the number of coats applied. Thicker applications or squeegee coats are available but are typically recommended only for commercial applications.

Proper surface preparation is imperative to a durable job. Before sealer is applied, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and may need to be edged (cleared of overgrowth). Vegetation will be removed from the cracks, and any fluid spills will be cleaned or treated. If your asphalt is heavily shaded or may have chemical buildup from car washing products or other sources, you should talk with your estimator about any additional preparation work that may be required.
With proper preparation and care, the sealer will protect your asphalt and keep it looking beautiful. Please contact us with any questions you may have, or request a quote for the best care for your asphalt driveway, road, or parking lot.
