What Is Asphalt Seal Coating?

Seal coating is a protective surface treatment applied to asphalt pavements. It is a liquid mixture, typically made from refined coal tar or asphalt emulsions, that creates a barrier over the existing asphalt. This barrier helps shield your pavement from the damaging effects of sun exposure, water infiltration, oil and gas spills, and everyday wear and tear.


Seal coating not only restores the rich black color of your asphalt but also fills tiny cracks and seals pores in the surface. By doing so, it improves the pavement’s resilience and prevents premature cracking, potholes, and deterioration.

The Benefits of Seal Coating Your Asphalt

Investing in asphalt seal coating offers numerous advantages, making it a cost-effective and essential maintenance step for both residential and commercial properties:

Extends Pavement Life: Seal coating protects your asphalt from oxidation caused by UV rays, which can dry out and weaken the pavement. This significantly slows down the aging process.

Prevents Water Damage: Water is one of the leading causes of pavement failure, seeping through cracks and causing the base underneath to erode. Seal coating acts as a waterproof layer that helps minimize water penetration.

Resists Oil & Gas Spills: Driveways and parking lots often suffer damage from petroleum-based products. Seal coating provides a chemical-resistant surface that prevents staining and surface degradation.

The Asphalt Seal Coating Process

At S & S Asphalt Paving & Seal Coating, we follow a thorough and professional process to ensure optimal results and long-lasting protection for your asphalt surfaces:

1. Inspection & Preparation: Our team begins by inspecting your pavement for existing damage such as cracks or potholes. We clean the surface thoroughly, removing dirt, debris, oil spots, and loose materials to ensure proper adhesion.

2. Crack Filling & Repairs: Before sealing, any cracks or holes are filled and repaired. This prevents water from infiltrating beneath the seal coating and causing damage.

3. Application of Seal Coat: Using professional-grade equipment, we evenly apply the seal coating material to the entire asphalt surface. The coating is applied in thin layers for maximum effectiveness.

4. Drying & Curing: After application, the seal coat requires time to dry and cure properly. We advise clients on the necessary wait time before using the area to protect the fresh coating.

5. Final Inspection: Once dry, we conduct a final quality check to ensure the seal coating is uniform and fully cured, providing you with a durable, high-quality finish.
