Over time, sun, water, and chemicals can weaken and damage parking lots, leading to costly repairs. Fortunately, asphalt sealcoating offers an effective solution to protect and preserve your pavement, whether in a busy parking lot or a private roadway.
Asphalt Sealcoating by Royal Pavement Solutions: Protecting and Preserving Your Parking Lot
A seal coat adds a protective layer to shield paved surfaces from damaging factors like weather and vehicle oils. The seal coat mixture includes concentrated sealant, silica sand, water, and occasionally additives to enhance performance. During the curing process, the seal coat hardens into a barrier that safeguards asphalt from harmful elements, extending its life and keeping it in better condition.
The process starts with cleaning the pavement and repairing cracks or other surface damage. A primer may be applied to trouble spots, such as cracks or edges near curbs or structures. The sealant is applied using a sprayer, though some areas may require manual application. Two thin seal coating layers are typically applied to ensure the material cures properly and offers the best protection.
Benefits of Asphalt Sealcoating
- UV Protection: As sunscreen protects skin, blacktop sealcoating acts like sunblock for your parking lot. UV rays can cause asphalt to fade, dry out, and become brittle. Sealcoating helps rejuvenate the appearance of your parking lot.
- Defense Against Petrochemicals: Gasoline, oil, and other vehicle fluids can break down asphalt over time, leading to soft, crumbling surfaces. A seal coat creates a protective layer, slowing the penetration of petrochemicals and giving you more time to clean spills before they cause damage.
- Water Resistance: Water is one of asphalt’s biggest enemies. It can seep through cracks, weakening the foundation below the surface. Sealcoating enhances asphalt’s resistance to water infiltration, reducing the risk of cracks, potholes, and structural damage caused by freeze/thaw cycles.
