Gann Asphalt & Concrete’s Guide to Parking Lot Sealcoating
What is Sealcoat?
Sealcoat is a liquid emulsion, typically made from refined coal tar or asphalt-based materials, applied to the surface of asphalt. Once it cures, it forms a durable barrier that shields your pavement from harmful elements and wear.
Why Sealcoat?
Sealcoating is a crucial step in protecting and preserving your pavement. It acts as a shield against common threats that can damage your asphalt, including:
1. Sun Oxidation
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight and UV rays breaks down asphalt binders, making the pavement brittle and prone to cracking.
- Sealcoating slows the oxidation process, replenishes essential oils, and keeps the asphalt flexible.
2. Water Penetration
- Cracks in asphalt allow water to seep into the sub-base, weakening it and leading to potholes and other serious damage.
- Sealcoating, combined with rubberized crack filling, prevents water from infiltrating the pavement.
3. Fuel, Oil, and Chemical Spills
- Spills from vehicles degrade the pavement by softening its structure.
- Sealcoating creates a protective barrier, stopping these substances from penetrating and damaging your asphalt.
How Often Should You Sealcoat?
To maintain optimal protection, we recommend sealcoating your parking lot every two to three years, depending on traffic levels. Regular sealcoating is an essential part of a comprehensive pavement maintenance program.
