Apex Asphalt Services is the asphalt seal coating specialist for customers in the Wilmington, DE, Baltimore, MD, and Southeastern Pennsylvania area. What is asphalt seal coating, and why do you need it? We have answers.
Asphalt Sealcoating Protects Your Pavement and Keeps it Looking Fantastic
Once your asphalt has cured, it is ready for a sealant application. Typically, this takes place about six months after we install the pavement and then in two to four-year intervals. During the asphalt sealcoating process, our technicians usually apply multiple, thin coats. The result is a tough shell that protects your asphalt from chemicals, UV rays, and water seepage.
Without Sealcoating, Asphalt May Deteriorate Much Faster Than You Anticipated
While you can use the asphalt without the sealcoating, you will notice that deterioration seems to speed up. The sun’s UV rays turn asphalt brittle, making it susceptible to cracking. Water enters these cracks, enlarges them, and contributes to pothole formation. Some chemicals that cars tend to leak will chemically react with asphalt, turning it into crumbles.
Aesthetic and Beneficial Side Effects of Our Professional Sealcoating Process
There is more to asphalt sealcoating than just the protection of the pavement. For example, when you love the dark color that new pavement possesses, you will also love that the sealcoating preserves it. Experts in the trade have also noticed that some of the silica in the coating remain close to the asphalt’s surface, giving pedestrians and motorists added traction, which is an excellent safety reason to add asphalt sealcoating.
The Nuts and Bolts of Sealcoating in Wilmington, DE, Baltimore, MD, and Southeastern Pennsylvania
Apex Asphalt Services technicians begin by preparing the pavement surface. It needs to be clean, and depending on its condition, we may use chemical pre-treatments and power washing. Once the pavement is clean and dry, our team applies several thin seal coats. In this way, we build up the protective shell. Finally, we block the pavement area for about 24 hours, which is the minimum time the sealant needs to cure adequately.
