Over time, sunlight hardens asphalt and breaks down the functional properties of the surface through oxidation. When asphalt oxidizes, it becomes brittle and cracks easily. Sealcoating shields the asphalt from the harmful oxidating effects of the sun. Flexible asphalt can react to temperature changes and the impacts of heavy loads by allowing the asphalt to expand and contract without breaking apart.
Pensacola Asphalt Sealcoating & Crack Filling
Sealcoating is the first line of defense against harmful chemicals commonly leaked by vehicles onto asphalt such as gas, oil, and antifreeze. Any kind of petroleum product will break the asphalt down, in the same way that paint thinner breaks up oil-based paints.
