When new asphalt is laid, the properties in the asphalt give it that rich black appearance. Over time, the sun, water and other chemicals such as gas, oil and salt, break down the emulsions in your asphalt giving it that gray look. Oxidation also occurs drying out your asphalt, thus leading to cracking, potholes and other deficiencies.
Sealcoating reduces the harmful effects of sun, water and other chemicals has on your asphalt. Sealcoating enhances the overall appearance of your property and restores that original rich black look; it also extends the life of your asphalt. FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER and a well maintained property generates more customers.
Properly maintained asphalt shows your customers that you care about the appearance of your property. Also, properly maintained asphalt helps prevent injuries to people or damage to cars that utilize your property and helps keep your investment protected. Seal coated asphalt aids in traction in the winter and helps with melting snow and ice.
Sealcoat Specialists uses an asphalt emulsion sealer with additives such as silica sand and Top Tuff. Silica sand increases the solid content of the sealer, improves skid resistance, improves durability and improves the appearance of minor deformities of your asphalt. The sand acts as a buffer between your snow removal equipment and the sealer which helps prevent premature wear. Top Tuff improves surface toughness, helps suspend sand, reduces power steering marks, provides a blacker end product and enhances resistance to oils, fuels, and grease.
Asphalt Sealer application consists of prepping the asphalt by using power brooms, power blowers and hand brooms. Dirt, leaves and other debris are removed to ensure proper adhesion of the sealer.
Oil spots on asphalt are unsightly. A fresh oil spot is the simplest kind to remove because it is merely a stain on the asphalt’s surface. The best action to take for a fresh oil spot on unsealed asphalt is to scrub away the oil with detergent as soon as possible and thoroughly rinse the area with water to remove the oil. After removing the oil, you may then apply a protective seal coat. Sealcoat Specialists pretreats major oil spots with a concentrated polymer based emulsion designed to seal oil and other stains prior to the application of the sealer to minimize the damage chemicals cause to asphalt.
Sealcoat Specialists only applies sealer to asphalt; we do not spray asphalt sealer on concrete, landscaping, structures or out into the road, we take great pride in our work. To accomplish this we hand brush asphalt sealer around these areas. We leave a straight line of sealer at the boundaries of your property, not the unsightly “spray” out into the roadway.
