| Sealing A scheduled program of pavement maintenance beautifies and protects asphalt pavement for a fraction of the cost of overlaying with new asphalt. Left untreated, asphalt pavement will deteriorate rapidly. The asphalt binder that holds the pavement together begins to oxidize and weather soon after installation. Moisture penetrates the asphalt causing further damage and deterioration to the pavement. Pavement sealers are designed to replenish the binder that is lost through weathering and aging, and provides superior protection against environmental distress. Left unsealed, oil and gasoline will soften and deteriorate the exposed asphalt binder. Pavement sealers provide a protective barrier that resists attack from oil, gasoline, and other harmful chemicals. An unsealed pavement allows water to penetrate into and through the pavement structure leading to base erosion, freeze and thaw damage, and ultimate pavement failure. Pavement sealers provide a protective barrier to stop wear and penetration. Asphalt pavement is made up of binder and rock. The asphalt binder combines with oxygen and becomes brittle or oxidized, leading to cracking and deterioration. Pavement sealers protect pavement from oxidation.. |
| Reasons to Seal Your Asphalt |
Notice where the guys have not yet sealed
the pavement is gray and dull. This is the
first sign that asphalt needs to be sealed. If
not properly sealed at this time the asphalt
will start to crack and further deteriorate.
