How You Can Double the Life of Your Asphalt

Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective coating to asphalt-based pavements to provide a layer of protection from the elements: water, oils, and U.V. damage. Sealcoating extends asphalt pavement life and lowers maintenance costs in the long-run.

As a general guideline, you should seal every 3-5 years. The average life span of your sealcoating depends on a number of different factors, such as:

• High vehicle traffic
• Heavy-duty vehicles
• Overhead vegetation
• Harsh winter temperatures
• Degrading (crumbling) surface
• Scraping from snow plowing
• Chains on tires
• Chemical spills
• Low spots that hold water

Sealcoating prevents asphalt surface oxidation by forming a tough protective outer skin. It also helps prevent damaging water penetration, and protects your asphalt from the deteriorating effects of gasoline, oil, de-icers, and other harsh chemicals. Once complete, your asphalt has a fresh black finish that helps to improve the image of your business.

These are some of the many reasons people decide to invest in pavement maintenance and sealcoat their asphalt:

• SUN BLOCK – Sealcoating prevents asphalt surface oxidation by forming a tough protective outer skin
• WEATHERPROOFS – Sealcoating seals the porous asphalt surface, preventing damaging water penetration
• RESISTS GAS, OIL & CHEMICAL SPILLS – Sealcoating protects asphalt from the deteriorating effects of gasoline, oil, de-icers, and other harsh chemical spills.
• RESTORES APPEARANCE – Sealcoating provides the jet-black finish and fresh, new appearance that improves the image of any business
• LOW MAINTENANCE – Sealcoating provides a smooth, even surface that facilitates cleaning and maintenance
• SAVES MONEY – Avoid expensive asphalt paving replacement by spending a few cents per square foot on sealcoating
