Seal Coating Your Asphalt Ensures Longer Durability<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Asphalt pavement is held together with asphalt cement\u2014 the thing that ultimately binds it all together. Like most things, the binder degrades with time, which leads to the pavement’s surface growing weak and brittle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So then what is seal coating, you may ask? Well the seal coat itself is bituminous-based\u2014 applied either by a spray or brush technique. The coating helps protects both the sealant and the surface of your pavement from mother nature’s elements\u2014 rain, the sun’s UV rays, snow, and other naturally occurring pollutants.<\/p>\n

In order to ensure the longest possible lifespan of your asphalt pavement surfaces, it’s important to consistently seal coat them every two to three years. On top of elongating the asphalt’s life, it saves you from needing to expend unnecessary amounts of dollars on repairs or even a brand new asphalt pavement surface.<\/p>\n
