Industries.“ These are synthetic materials that improve the sealer’ s elasticity and resistance to surface checking. They help the sealer withstand temperature changes and heavy traffic.” This multifaceted type of additive has even more beneficial properties, according to Nihal Pandrapragada, Technical Manager at STAR, Inc.“ Acrylic and copolymer-based additives are best known for resistance against UV radiation and water,” he says.“ They also help with thickening, faster drying and improving chemical resistance,” adding that polyvinyl acetate-based additives are best known for improving drying and adhesion properties. Pandrapragada says rubber-based additives( derived from recycled tires) area best known for rubberizing refined tar / asphalt / other resin-based sealcoatings.“ This results in enhancing the properties of sealcoatings such as chemical and oil resistance, temperature susceptibility, flexibility, durability and thickening,” he says. McLeod adds that such additives also provide better skid resistance and reduce the risk of pedestrian slips and falls. Whether latex polymeric- or rubber-based, McLeod offers a long list of benefits these additives provide for your sealcoating needs:
• Enhanced durability: Additives improve the toughness and flexibility of the sealer, making the sealer film more resistant to cracking, wear and tear.
• Faster drying times: Some additives speed up the drying( curing) process, allowing for quicker job completion and reduced time for parking lots and driveways.
• Improved adhesion: Additives help the sealer film bond better to the asphalt surface, leading to a longer lasting protective coating.
• Increased resistance to chemicals and oil: Certain additives make the sealer
