Understanding Seal Coating
Seal coat consists of a bituminous liquid designed to be applied on asphalt surfaces and protect them from external elements, reduce damage and enhance their durability. This type of protection is fundamental, as asphalt surfaces are generally prone to damage caused by UV radiation, water, petroleum products and other substances. Here we explore the different types of seal coating solutions.
Water-Based Sealers
Composed by a wide variety of natural ingredients, such as water, limestone, and other fillers, water-based sealers are considered an eco-friendly seal coating solution for asphalt surfaces. These sealers also dry quickly, which makes them ideal for busy areas where an efficient sealing process is required for minimal disruption.
Benefits include:
-
Faster drying
-
Less intense odour
-
Low environmental impact
-
Lower initial cost
Oil-Based Sealers
To provide superior resistance to water, oil-based sealers are made of asphalt binders and mineral fillers that are later combined with oils and polymers. Known for their distinctive black surface, these sealers tend to cost more initially, but they don’t need to be reapplied as often as their water-based counterpart.
Benefits include:
-
Enhanced protection
-
Longer durability
-
Distinctive look
