Asphalt Pavement Sealers

Asphalt pavement sealers are coatings that are applied to asphalt-paved surfaces to protect them from the elements. UV rays, water, and chemicals can all cause damage to asphalt, making it cracked, faded, and brittle. Asphalt pavement sealers provide a barrier against these elements, helping to keep the pavement in good condition for longer. There are two main types of asphalt pavement sealers: coal tar-based sealers and asphalt-based sealers. Coal tar-based sealers are more durable and provide better protection against UV rays and water, but they are also more expensive. Asphalt-based sealers are less expensive but do not last as long. Ultimately, the best type of asphalt pavement sealer for a particular project depends on the climate, the amount of traffic the pavement will experience, and the budget.
