Asphalt Sealers

Asphalt sealers protect driveways, parking lots, and walkways from UV, water, salts, oil, and oxidation. A fresh coat restores rich black color, seals hairline cracks, and slows aging, helping you extend pavement life and cut repair costs. Whether you’re a homeowner sealing a blacktop driveway or a contractor maintaining commercial lots, quality sealcoat products deliver durable protection and better curb appeal.

Choose from coal tar sealer for strong chemical and fuel resistance, asphalt emulsion sealer for low odor and easy cleanup, or acrylic/polymer‑modified blends for fast drying and enhanced color retention. These driveway and parking lot sealer options are often fortified with polymers and sand for improved adhesion and skid resistance. Pair your topcoat with asphalt crack sealer, cold patch, and sand additives to create a complete asphalt repair system.

Application is straightforward with the right tools. Ready‑to‑use 5‑gallon pails suit DIY driveway sealer projects, while high‑solids drums and totes support pro sealcoating rigs, sprayers, and squeegee machines. Expect typical coverage of 250–400 sq ft per gallon depending on surface porosity; two thin coats often outperform one heavy coat for longevity. Most products cure to foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicle traffic in 24–48 hours.

Tips for best results:
- Clean thoroughly: blow off dust, scrub oil spots, and pressure wash if needed.
- Repair first: fill cracks and potholes; allow proper cure.
- Watch the weather: apply above 50°F with no rain in the forecast.
- Agitate well: stir before and during use for uniform solids.
- Edge and protect: cut in borders, barricade the area, and add silica sand for traction if desired.
- Safety matters: wear gloves and eye protection; follow local VOC guidelines; prevent runoff to drains.

Reseal every 2–3 years based on traffic and climate. Store sealer in a cool, dry place above freezing, and avoid applying to concrete or to newly laid asphalt that hasn’t cured. With the right asphalt sealer and application tools, you’ll protect your blacktop and keep it looking sharp season after season.
