How Does Parking Lot Sealcoating Help?

Professional asphalt sealcoating services repair minor surface cracks and seal the porous parking lot surface against water damage as well as providing protection against damage from the sun, weather, and repeated use.

• What is a sealcoat made of?

  Asphalt professionals use professional grade products, and this includes pavement sealers. At API, we use only the highest quality blends of liquid plastics and petroleum products mixed with aggregates like sand, custom mixed to reflect the conditions at your parking lot. The petroleum bonds with asphalt binders, polymers add protections against UV rays, and sand provides traction.

• What’s the parking lot sealcoating process?

  First, expert paving contractors will remove all debris and dirt from the parking lot surface to ensure the sealcoat can bond and cure properly. Next, they use either a sprayer or a squeegee to spread the asphalt sealcoat. After a 24 hour curing time, the coating is cured and the parking lot is ready to use again.

• How often should you seal your parking lot?

  A new asphalt parking lot needs to completely cure before the first sealer is applied, which can take up to 60 days. After that, experts recommend a new sealcoat every two years to keep your parking lot protected.

• What conditions are best for applying a sealcoat?

  To allow the sealer to properly adhere to the parking lot surface, the temperature during application needs to be at least 50 degrees. For the sealcoating to properly cure, there shouldn’t be any rain for at least 24 hours.
