FEATURE
Failure to incorporate these additives into sealcoating mixtures can have negative consequences :
1 . Reduced Longevity : Sealcoating without additives could , in many cases , cause a lack of the necessary adhesion , flexibility , and durability to withstand the rigors of everyday use . As a result , the protective layer may degrade more quickly , necessitating more frequent resealing and unnecessary , increased maintenance costs in the long run .
2 . Cracking and Flaking : Without additives to enhance flexibility and adhesion , the sealcoat could become prone to cracking and flaking . Especially in regions with significant temperature fluctuations . Cracks and flakes not only compromise the aesthetic appeal but also expose the underlying asphalt to further damage .
3 . Accelerated Deterioration : UV radiation accelerates the deterioration of untreated sealcoating projects faster , leading to the probability of premature fading ,
