“ Sealcoating is typically applied every few years as a preventative measure to protect the asphalt surface from the elements and preserve its integrity ,” Estrada said . “ It is best for relatively newer or well-maintained asphalt surfaces .”
Estrada continued : “ Crack sealing , on the other hand , is necessary when cracks start to form in the asphalt . It is typically done as a reactive maintenance measure to prevent further deterioration and costly repairs . Crack sealing can be performed at any time when cracks are noticed , regardless of the age of the asphalt .”
When the cracks in the asphalt are minor and have not significantly deteriorated the pavement , sealcoating can effectively seal them and eliminate the need for separate crack sealing . “ Sealcoating should never be used in place of crack filling ,” Adams said . “ Sealer is a surface treatment and not a repair product for defects in the pavement . Cracks larger than hairline should be filled with crack fillers , having different composition to flex with the expansion and contraction in the pavement .” In a nutshell , sealcoating is for those , mainly businesses and properties , who want to give their new asphalt a high-class look and prevent damage for years into the future . It is a preventive measure , while crack sealing is a repair measure . Crack sealing is for those who have cracks in their existing asphalt , who want to repair their surfaces as opposed to replacing them .
