Protective Power of Sealcoating for Your Asphalt Pavement

Sealcoating is designed to protect asphalt pavements from the damaging effects caused by petroleum products, moisture, and ultraviolet oxidation. Protecting pavements with sealcoating have the same basic effect as using sunblock on your skin or varnish on wood, it slows down the destructive effects. The appearance of the shiny black coating is an attractive feature as well.
