Asphalt Sealcoating

Asphalt is a remarkably versatile paving material that is used for everything from residential driveways and suburban cul-de-sacs to massive parking lots and busy highways. New asphalt pavements are economical and fast to construct, and routine maintenance is also typically quick and relatively inexpensive. Asphalt sealcoating in Columbus is a maintenance procedure that can help asphalt pavements achieve longer lives.  Asphalt Sealcoating is a good choice in Columbus, Ohio.

What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is the application of a sealant to the surface of an asphalt pavement. Most sealant manufacturers ship dry sealants to make transportation less expensive. The dry products are mixed with water, silica sand, and any necessary additives so that the liquid sealcoating can be sprayed, mopped, or squeegeed onto the pavement.

How Does Sealcoating Help Asphalt Pavements Last Longer?

Your asphalt pavement is continuously exposed to the elements. It must endure ultraviolet radiation, repeated freeze/thaw cycles, and snow, rain, and ice. In addition, parking lots, driveways, and other pavements that provide vehicle access can have automotive fluids leaked on them. UV rays will make your pavement brittle and dry, and they will also fade your pavement’s color. Automotive fluids will make asphalt pavements soft and crumbly. Water that leaks beneath the surface can destroy your pavement’s supporting foundation, and trapped water will exert pressure on the pavement when temperatures drop below freezing. When the trapped ice melts, the pavement will often develop air pockets that quickly turn into potholes. Sealcoating restores the color to faded pavements, blocks UV rays, shields the pavement from automotive fluids, and helps prevent water infiltration.

What Does Sealcoating Involve?

When you contact Columbus Line Striping for your asphalt sealcoating needs in Columbus, we will work closely with you to ensure that the job goes smoothly. Prior to applying a sealant, we will advise you on any repairs that may be needed, and, if you like, we can seal any cracks in the pavement. We will block off the work area with tape, barriers, cones, or signs to control traffic. Our team members will ensure that the pavement is properly cleaned. Most pavements need two coats of sealants, so we will then apply the first coat of sealant, waiting until this first coat is sufficiently cured before applying the second coat. If you would like us to re-stripe your parking lot, we can proceed with that task as soon as the last coat of sealant has cured.
