What Causes the Deterioration of Asphalt?

  • It begins with the oxidation of the surface which causes the asphalt to dry and become brittle; this leads to the erosion of the top layer and the appearance of larger stones and small cracks on the surface. Asphalt should be black in appearance; the lighter the color of the asphalt the more oil or moisture has evaporated.
  • If left untreated these cracks grow over time and eventually allow water to penetrate to the base of the pavement.
  • When water enters the base of the pavement the base material moves and settles leading to further cracking and an "alligator appearance".
  • Assuming that the initial asphalt pavement was designed and constructed properly, the primary cause of failure is the penetration of water into the asphalt base.

What is Sealcoat?

  • Sealcoats generally consist of a mixture of emulsified asphalt, water, mineral fillers, and various other admixtures.
  • Sealcoats are applied directly to the surface of an asphalt pavement.
  • Sealcoats serve to seal the top of the asphalt, preventing water from penetrating the surface of the pavement and protecting the top layer of asphalt from oxidation and wear caused by exposure to the sun and air.
  • Sealcoats also beautify the pavement by providing a smooth and dark surface.

Why Should You Sealcoat?

  • Sealcoating seals the asphalt pavement, preventing the oxidation (drying out) and erosion of the top layer of asphalt.
  • On older pavements, sealcoating replaces fine particles lost from the asphalt surface due to oxidation.
  • Sealcoating seals the small cracks that can turn into large cracks and prevents water from seeping down to the base material.
  • Sealcoating helps protects the asphalt from the sun as well as the harmful effects of chemical spills such as oil and gasoline.
  • Sealcoating provides an attractive dark surface that adds curb appeal to your home or business.
  • Sealcoating costs pennies a square foot compared to the dollars needed to repair or replace damaged asphalt.
