Asphalt Sealcoating Services
Why seal asphalt?
The moment new asphalt is laid, it is guaranteed to undergo three processes: curing, oxidation, and deterioration.
Benefits of Sealcoating:
- Prevents oxidation
- Fills in hairline cracks
- Resists oil & gas
- Reduces sweeping costs
- Increases aesthetic value and improves first impressions
- Increases pavement life
Protecting your pavement investment with sealcoating has a similar effect to using sunblock on your skin. It prevents the sun’s UV rays from baking the oil out of the asphalt and turning a once flexible pavement brittle. Sealcoating also minimizes raveling (the loss of aggregate) and fills minor surface voids. Other benefits include creating a uniform color and appearance for all paved asphalt surfaces and increasing the visibility of curbing.
Sealcoating and re-striping of parking spaces and crosswalks enhance traffic flow, improve public safety, and reduce liability.
Hutch Paving now offers a quick-curing additive option for its sealcoat. This additive will reduce drying time to as little as 4 hours. Our speed dry additive will yield faster drying times, a rich, deeper black color, and prolonged sealcoat life because the sealcoat cures more quickly before vehicle traffic resumes. This additive must be applied under desirable temperatures and sunlight to achieve these results. Ask a Hutch Paving representative if this additive option is right for your project.
