Your Beach Asphalt Sealing Contractor
Beach asphalt seal coating is a process in which coal tar emulsion or asphalt emulsion is sprayed or brushed on the asphalt surface. The seal coat material should be applied in two coats in general areas and three coats in the high traffic areas, such as drive lanes.
There is much debate as to what is the best application method for the seal coat material. There is a predominant mindset amongst "old school" Beach seal coaters that brushing the seal coat material is the only way to go. However, there are some short comings from the brushing technique. By brushing the Beach seal coat material the natural indentations of the asphalt are filled in and the asphalt loses its traction. Also, contrary to popular belief thicker is not better when applying the seal coat material. The Seal coat material should be applied at .17 gal/sq. yd. and should never exceed .51 gal/sq. yd. total.
