WHAT IS SEAL COAT?
Seal coat is a mixture of emulsified asphalt, mineral fillers, water, and various other additives. Seal coats are applied directly to the surface of asphalt pavement. It can be applied by rubber squeegee, broom, or mechanical sprayer.

Seal coat serves the purpose of sealing the top layer of the asphalt, preventing water from penetrating the surface of the pavement. Seal coat also protects the top layer from oxidation and wear caused by exposure to the sun and air. Seal coat does not only protect your investment, it beautifies it too! Leaving your pavement with a smooth, black, slip-resistant surface.

OUR SEALCOAT
At Absolute Asphalt, Inc., we pride ourselves in our high-quality asphalt-based emulsion. "Pave shield," the seal coat we are proud to use, is formulated to give our customers the utmost in asphalt protection combined with a beautiful black-satin finish.

Some of our competitors add as much as 55% water to their seal coat to cut cost and receive more on their return. Not us! In fact, we add several other additives to leave you with years of protection and beautification. We put latex and sand into our seal coat to allow a maximum bond to the asphalt with a superb slip-resistant surface. A life of seal coat for some companies can be less than one year.

With Absolute Asphalt, Inc., you can enjoy amazing results far beyond that with our double coat, hydro-spray method.

ASPHALT FAILURES
Why does this happen?
Potholes may begin for several reasons. But let’s say the initial asphalt was designed and constructed properly. The primary cause of failure is from the penetration of water into the base and sub-grade areas. Oxidation of the pavement surface begins this process which causes the asphalt to dry and become brittle. This oxidation leads to the erosion of the top layer of fine particles. When your pavement gets to this point you will be able to see larger stones and small cracks on the surface. If left untreated, these cracks grow over time and eventually allow water to penetrate through the asphalt.

When water penetrates to the base material, shifting can occur causing the asphalt to crack and gain an "alligator appearance." When asphalt reaches this stage, the only option is to remove and replace the old asphalt. For more information regarding our asphalt maintenance program, please contact us today!
