Pavement Sealing

When it comes to protecting and extending the life of asphalt pavement, choosing the right sealer is critical. Contractors and property owners generally find themselves choosing between two major types of sealers: Asphalt-based sealers and coal tar sealers. While both are designed to shield pavement from oxidation, chemicals and general wear, they perform very differently. Understanding those differences can help you choose the best sealer for your project, your climate and your long-term maintenance goals.

Asphalt pavement is one of the most widely used surface materials in the world. To understand the purpose of asphalt sealcoating, it helps to know how asphalt pavement originated, what it is made of and why it needs ongoing maintenance.

Sealcoating is a critical part of asphalt pavement maintenance and one of the most effective ways to protect asphalt pavement from long-term damage. Asphalt pavement maintenance offers both protective and aesthetic benefits, helping your surface stay structurally sound while maintaining a clean, attractive appearance.
