Sealcoating is one of the most important elements of a pavement plan. A sealcoat consists of either cool tar pitch or asphalt cement mixed with inert fillers, water, emulsifying agents, or additives. Applied is thin coats, pavement sealing is used to protect off-highway pavement surfaces against gasoline, oil, salt, water and ultraviolet rays.

Sealcoating increases pavement flexibility. Sealcoat brings a dark color to pavement. The blacker it is, the more heat a pavement draws from the sun. The hotter it gets, the more pliable it becomes, which helps it to withstand traffic without cracking.
Asphalt sealcoating is cost-effective. The price of asphalt will always be affected by crude oil prices, which flucuate when supplies vary. Sealcoating preserves asphalt for pennies per square foot.
Asphalt sealcoating is easier to clean and maintain. Sealcoat fills surface
voids while coating the pavement surface. The resulting smooth and even texture make the surface easier to maintain year-round. For example, snow is earier to remove from a smooth surface, and sweeping is far more effective on a smooth surface.
Slows oxidation and water penetration. Sealcoating acts as a waterproof agent, minimizing the rate at which water enters pavement.
Resists oil and gas spills. Coal tars used in sealcoat are impervious to gas and oil spills.
Beautification. When covered with a dark black sealant, Sealcoating helps protect a positive image of the company, facility or residential complex.
Sealcoating should only be performed under the proper weather conditions. The recommended air pavement temperature should be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit and rising during the sealer application and for 8 hours afterwards.
Traffic should be kept off a newly sealed surface for a minimum of 18 to 36 hours to allow for drying (curing) time. If this time frame is not practical, we will perform sealcoating in separate mobilizations to maximize convenience. It is also important to refrain from using sprinkers near the ara, hosing down, or washing the area for 48 hours before and after work is completed.
