Sealcoat is a liquid that is applied to your asphalt to protect the asphalt from oxidizing, as well as protecting it from damage caused by winter cracking, UV rays, and traffic. Since oil and gasoline will react with the asphalt, the sealcoat acts as a "barrier" to keep the two separated. By using sealcoat, your asphalt will not only be protected, but it will make it look fresh and brand new. Sealcoating also protects pavement from drying out and becoming brittle.
Sealcoat can extend the life of asphalt up to 30 years, when sealed and crackfilled periodically. Sealcoating often helps save costs by keeping your asphalt in good shape, preventing serious damage. Sealcoating is not a solution to damaged pavement. It is a preventative measure to cut down on the possibility and severity of issues in the future. |
