Sealcoating

Sealcoating is a protective coating applied to asphalt surfaces to protect them from weather, wear, and tear. It is made up of a mixture of asphalt, water, and a variety of additives and is applied in two coats.

The first coat seals the surface and the second coat adds an extra layer of protection. This helps to maintain the life of asphalt surfaces, preventing water, salt, and other elements from degrading the surface.

As we do with every installation or repair project, we follow a rigorous step-by-step process at American Paving NC:

• Clean and Prepare the Surface

  Sweep away any debris from the surface and use a blower to remove dirt and dust. Repair any cracks or holes in the surface.

• Prepare the Sealer

  Mix the sealer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and pour it into a pressure sprayer.

• Apply the Sealer

  Start at one end of the area and apply the sealer in a thin, even layer. Use a squeegee or brush to spread it evenly.

• Allow to Dry

  Allow the sealer to dry completely before applying a second coat.

• Reapply the Sealer

  Apply a second coat of sealer in the same manner as the first.

• Allow to Cure

  Allow the sealer to cure completely before using the area.
