The high solids, polymer modified formula provides increased resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals.
Minimum dilution required means you can expect up to three times the wear of other pavement coatings.
Mixed with 5-6 lbs. of silica sand per gallon of sealer for increased durability and roughness.
Sealcoating is a process where a high polymer coating is used to seal an asphalt surface. The sealer acts a protective barrier, and essentially seals the destructive elements out. This protects the asphalt binder from detiorating thus preventing water from penetrating the surface which causes cracking and pavement failures.
Seal coating your asphalt 30 days after installation and regularly thereafter will more than triple the life of your pavement.
Studies have shown that regularly sealed asphalt has 90% less cracking than unsealed asphalt. (as shown in the diagram below)
At Black And Yellow Pavement Inc. we use the most durable sealer available on the market. Our Polymer-Modified Refined Tar is specifically formulated for commercial parking lots and high volume traffic areas. We mix 4 lbs. of silica sand per gallon of sealer on all projects to ensure a skid resistant surface along with increased durability. The application rate varies from project to project and is unique to every parking lot depending on the volume of daily traffic. We recommend two coats of sealer on most surfaces and sometimes a third coat in the high traffic areas for best results.
Sealcoating makes asphalt last longer … Period! As soon as asphalt is paved, it begins to deteriorate. Chemicals such as gasoline and oil destroy the binder and UV light, water, and oxygen dry it out. This leads to fading, cracking, and loss of aggregate. Sealcoating locks the asphalt binder in and seals the destructive elements out.
Left unsealed, oil and gasoline will soften and deteriorate the exposed asphalt binder. Sealcoating provides a protective barrier that resists attack from oil and gasoline.
The intrusion of moisture into asphalt pavement accelerates deterioration. Sealing asphalt prevents the seepage of moisture from snow and rain, thus preventing damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
Properly maintained asphalt pavement is tough and durable, resisting wear many years longer than unsealed surfaces. This reduces repair costs to the property owners and triples the life of their pavement.
