Asphalt paving is primarily a rock, gravel and stone combination mixed along with a binding agent. The combination, or aggregate, is prominently held together by this binding agent also known as an asphalt cement. The binding agent is created from specific crude oils which gives the asphalt paving it's color. Maintaining the best binding agent is key in prolonging the lifespan of the asphalt paving surface. Rain, U.V. rays, and chemicals, accumulate on an asphalt paving surface, and can deteriorate even the best of binding agents beginning the degradation process. Once that process starts it will only continue and create a very brittle surface.

 

To reduce the aging or degradation effect, it is important to use a properly planned asphalt paving maintenance program using an asphalt paving sealcoating to extend the life of your surface. Sealcoating provides a protective layer that will resist: water, oils, and U.V. damage. If applied professionally by a asphalt paving contractor in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications, asphalt paving sealcoating will provide a slip resistant surface with a beautiful finish. Asphalt Paving sealcoats are mostly bituminous based or primarily acrylic products.

 

What Purpose does the Asphalt Paving seal coat serve?

An asphalt paving seal coat is designed to be a protective resistance layer, Sealcoat can be a low-cost surface that will protect asphalt paving surfaces that are still in decent condition compared to a unprotected concrete surface that has been left exposed to multiple seasons of long-term sunlight, water, salt, oil, chemicals, gasoline and other vehicle fluids. A good asphalt paving seal coat that is professionally applied every 3-5 years, can be a smooth, wearable asphalt paving layer that could nearly double the lifecycle of your asphalt paving.

 

What is the total cost for a Asphalt Paving Seal Coat?

Contact your local Conroe CR asphalt paving contractor at for the fairest cost estimate for your asphalt paving project. Cost will depend on the size and traffic the area receives on a regular basis. Typically, an installed asphalt paving square foot cost is roughly 8%-15% of the total asphalt paving surface.

 

What is the Application Method for Asphalt Paving Seal Coat?

Asphalt Paving Seal Coat is applied in 2- spray coat applications using a spray rig trailer system.

 

What is the Lifespan of Asphalt Paving?

If an asphalt paving seal coat is applied within the initial installed year of the new asphalt paving surface, the lifecycle of the seal coat with an average traffic usage can be 3 – 5 years.
