ASPHALT SEALCOATING
Why Do You Need Quality 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. It provides a quality seal coat dramatically extend the life of asphalt, it also greatly reduces the amount of money spent on future maintenance or repairs. When asphalt is exposed to the elements, traffic, or temperature changes, it can become harder or even oxidize. This causes the pavement to become brittle, resulting in the formation of cracks due to the asphalt’s inability to bend and flex. Sealcoating combats this by providing a waterproof membrane, slowing oxidation and preventing shed water from entering the base material.
A good seal coat can also serve as a safety measure. Sealcoating increases pavement texture which increases surface friction. This makes asphalt less slippery and braking easier.
