What Types of Asphalt Sealer are Available?

Sealcoating provides numerous advantages, making it a worthwhile investment for both residential and commercial properties

• Gilsonite Sealers (Oil-Based):

  • Gilsonite is our sealant of choice due to its exceptional durability and longevity. This oil-based sealer provides superior protection against UV rays and water penetration, maintaining the deep black finish of your asphalt surfaces.

• Coal Tar Sealers:

  • Known for their high level of protection, coal tar sealers are effective against water, oils, and UV rays, though they can raise environmental concerns.

• Emulsion Sealers:

  • As a water-based sealing option, emulsion sealers are less toxic and easier to apply but typically have a shorter lifespan than oil-based alternatives.

• Rubberized Sealers:

  • Incorporating rubber for greater flexibility, these sealers seal small cracks effectively and create a more robust surface.

The Sealcoating Process

Our professional asphalt sealcoating process ensures that you receive the highest quality service:

1. Preparation:

   • Clean the asphalt surface thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings. This step ensures proper adhesion of the sealer.

2. Repair:

   • Fill cracks and patch any damaged areas to create a smooth surface. This step is crucial for the longevity of the sealcoating.

3. Application:

   • Apply the Gilsonite sealer using industry-leading techniques for an even application. This process typically requires specialized equipment for optimal results.

4. Drying Time:

   • Allow adequate drying time, usually 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. During this period, traffic should be kept off the surface to achieve the best results.
