Sealcoating: Essential for Asphalt Maintenance
Sealcoating is among the most effective tools in a property owner’s pavement management toolbox. But what is it? A sealcoat is made of bituminous materials, meaning tar pitch, mixed with polymers, emulsifying agents, additives, and fillers. Applied to the paved surface by hand or with spraying machines, the sealant protects, waterproofs, and rejuvenates the surface.
Why get your parking lot seal coated?
Asphalt is also made from bitumen mixed with rocks called aggregates. Over time, paved surfaces undergo oxidation, where the UV rays in sunlight break down the bitumen products in the pavement, leading to a gray or faded appearance. Sealcoating not only restores a vibrant black finish but also significantly extends the life expectancy of your parking lot by stopping oxidation in its tracks. The waterproofing qualities of the seal coat also reduce cracking by keeping water from penetrating the surface and wearing away aggregates.
Do you have to get blacktop sealcoating every year?
A common query is, “How often should I sealcoat my parking lot?” The recommended frequency is every 24-36 months. Various factors, including weather conditions and traffic volume, can influence the frequency. If your pavement shows signs of cracking, wear, tear, or fading, it’s best to have it assessed by an asphalt contractor for tailored recommendations.
This is also an excellent service after you’ve gotten parking lot repair because it can protect patches, lock in the crack filling, and safeguard your investment in your property. Because it’s so cost-effective, it’s worth it!
