| Products/Services: Sealcoating
Asphalt sealcoats are factory blended compounds of emulsified
asphalt binder and selected mineral and fiber fillers. Sealcoats are intended
to protect pavement from the effects of weather erosion and oxidation, fill
minor voids, improve the surface texture and provide a smooth, no-abrasive surface.
Recommended for use on all types of asphalt pavements giving them a uniformly
colored watertight seal. These sealers do not add thickness or structural
quality to the asphalt. |

Seal Coating Application |
|
| Preparation |
The asphalt area will be thoroughly cleaned using a Power Sweeper or Power Blowers
to remove all dirt and loose particles. All weeds and vegetation will be removed by
any method necessary. Accumulation of oil and grease in car stalls that may adversely
affect Sealcoat bonding will be removed by torching, scarifying or scraping with a shovel.
An application of ëPoly-Oilí seal will be applied, if necessary, to any extreme areas,
blotted with sand to ensure the best chance of bonding between the Sealcoat and the heavily
grease-soaked oil spot. Despite these efforts peeling may still occur.
All drains, utility covers, monuments and manhole covers will be protected using duct tape and building paper. |

| Application |
Dilution of the Sealcoat material with water for ease of application will be in STRICT ACCORDANCE
with the manufacturerís recommendations. Any water addition will be carefully measured into a known
volume of Sealcoat material. Aggregate will be #30 mesh silica sand or black slate if not already
included in the Sealcoat material.
Sealcoat material will be applied by one or more of our mechanical buggies or by hand with squeegees
and/or brooms, depending on the size of the area. Sealcoat will be applied in TWO COATS unless otherwise
noted. The first coat will completely dry before we apply the second coat. We prefer the finished Sealcoat
not the subjected to heavy traffic earlier then 6 to 24 hours after having been laid. |
