Asphalt Sealcoating
Why You Need Asphalt Sealcoating
- Reduction of Maintenance Cost: Smooth and even surface of sealed pavement makes future maintenance simpler and cheaper.
- Beautifies Pavement: Slate black appearance restores original color to asphalt and dries to an even, textured finish.
- Prevents Pavement Oxidation: Asphalt seal coating reduces acceleration of raveling, erosion, and asphalt thickness caused by the Texas sun hardening and drying out asphalt surfaces.
- Increase Traffic Safety: Seal coat increases surface friction, making asphalt less slick.
Asphalt sealcoating is an essential process in preserving the appearance and functionality of any asphalt investment project. A quality seal coat not only extends the life of asphalt, but it saves on future maintenance or repairs.
When asphalt is exposed to the elements, it can become rigid, or even oxidize. Pavement becomes brittle, resulting in cracks due to the asphalt’s inability to bend and flex. This is especially true in Austin and the surrounding area. Sealcoating combats deterioration by providing a waterproof membrane that slows oxidation and prevents shed water from entering the base material.
A good seal on an asphalt surface also serves as a safety measure. Sealcoating increases pavement texture, increasing surface friction. This makes asphalt less slippery when wet.
