Sealcoating is a protective treatment applied to asphalt surfaces, such as driveways and parking lots. It involves spreading a liquid sealant over the asphalt to shield it from damage caused by weather, UV rays, and vehicle traffic. This process helps to extend the life of the pavement and maintain its appearance. The sealant used in sealcoating typically contains a mixture of asphalt, water, and additives. Applying this layer can prevent cracks and potholes, reducing the need for costly repairs. Regular sealcoating can enhance the durability of asphalt surfaces, making it a valuable maintenance practice for property owners.
