SEALCOATING

 

WHAT IS SEALCOATING AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

THE ENEMIES!

 

Parking lots rarely wear out from traffic! Surface deterioration is usually caused by the weathering effects of the sun, rain, gasoline and oil drippings.

 

Gray vs Black! 

Before                        After

Oxidation, the graying in color of asphalt pavement, is a sign of fatigue, aging and general surface deterioration. When unprotected pavement becomes oxidized, the aggregate will begin to ravel from the surface making the pavement rough. Once the surface becomes brittle, cracks develop, and the pavement deteriorates. Furthermore, water which accumulates in open pavement structures is a major cause of pavement damage.

Preventive maintenance before these damaging elements get a hold on your pavement is important. Sealcoating is the most cost effective maintenance procedure available and enhances the appearance of your pavement by giving it an attractive, easy-to-clean, black color finish.

Silica Sand is added to coal tar sealer to provide a heavier wearing surface which means that the sealer will last longer and will be more skid resistant then sealer which does not contain sand.

Sealcoating pavement for pennies a square foot can save dollars in future costly repairs or replacement!




                    

What Is Tarconite?

Tarconite heavy duty sealer is a blend of emulsified high temperature coal tar and selected mineral fillers developed for use as a flexible, tough, longer-lasting protective coating for asphalt pavements. Tarconite is rubber fortified to provide up to 50% greater wear, flexibility, and adhesion than non-rubberized sealers.

When appearance and protection are foremost, Tarconite has been the line of defense to protect the longevity and beauty of millions of acres of asphalt pavement. Locking out spills and protecting against the elements, Tarconite delivers a rich, smooth, black finish that's unparalleled in the marketplace, year after year.
