Asphalt parking lot maintenance is important and sealcoating is
perhaps the most important.
When applied properly, sealcoating provides the following
benefits:
-
Slows Oxidation and
Water Penetration: Sealcoating
fills surface voids, reducing exposure to oxygen and water to
prolong pavement life. Unprotected surfaces
allow oxygen to harden
asphalt binders, resulting in brittle pavement prone to cracking.
The cracks allow water to seep into the asphalt and further weaken
the entire parking surface. This leads to more cracks, potholes,
and eventual total parking lot failure.
-
Protects Pavement
Against Ultraviolet Rays: The sun’s rays can
break the links between carbon bonds and your asphalt. Sealcoat
helps prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging the asphalt
pavement.
-
Protects Against
Spills: Gas and oil spills will soften unprotected
asphalt making it more susceptible to damage. A quality
sealcoat can help prevent damage caused by oil and gas
penetration.
-
Easy to Clean
Pavement: Sealcoating results in a smooth, even
texture allowing for much easier cleaning and snow
removal.
-
Increased Pavement
Flexibility: Sealcoating makes your parking lot
black. This attracts more heat from the sun, which, in turn, makes
your parking surface more pliable and able to withstand heavy
traffic volume without cracking.
-
Beauty:
Sealcoating ensures a positive first impression by enhancing the
appearance of your property.
-
Cost
Effective: It is far less expensive to sealcoat
your parking lot every few years than it would be to completely
replace your parking surface.
