ACS Sealcoating Kansas City:
This is an example of a neglected parking lot prior to sealcoating
Sealcoating aids in preserving the asphalt and restores the like new appearance of asphalt
Understanding what sealcoating will do.

Sealcoating will reduce the negative effect the sun has on the asphalt surface.
Sealcoating will reduce the damage caused from oil and gasoline residue from your customers leaking automobile's.
Sealcoating will allow for easier cleaning of your parking lot and comparisions have shown sealcoating will extend the life of your asphalt
Understanding what sealcoating will not do.
Asphalt Sealcoating will not strengthen the parking lot,asphalt sealcoating will not restore the parking lot and it will not standup to other fault conditions that may be the underlying problems, causing the deteriorating condtion of the parking lot. A perfect example of this on a commercial parking lot would be drainage problems. Sealcoating will not correct an overwatering conditon caused by landscapers flooding the island flower beds 12 hrs per night in hopes of keeping the plants thru the summer heat.
Another situation sealcoating will not correct, it will not keep undirected water from eroding your asphalt and creating what amounts to a sink hole. Proper Parking Lot maintenance includes also sealing expansion joints in adjoining curb and pavement.
Dollar for dollar, asphalt sealcoating is one of the best investments a property manager can allocate into their budget. Sealcoating every two-three years will provide many benefits, how ever it will not withstand situations that need correcting.
Parking Lot Sealcoating what choice in material is there ?
Parking Lot Sealcoating there are really only two material types used Coal Tar sealcoating and Aphalt Emulsion sealcoating. Recently there has been considerable dialogue concerning Coal Tar sealcoating and rather than continue it here There is a link below that will direct you to a Commercial Developers point of view.
AS for the usability of the two sealcoating products the basic differences are Coal Tar will resist oil and gas far better than Asphalt Emulsion and most applicators will say that it lasts longer. Generally speaking Coal Tar will be a pitch black color and Emulsion we be darker.
How to choose the right sealcoating contractor :
Parking Lot Sealcoating Contractors and the type of equipment they use to apply it, Is a large consideration when selecting sealcoating contractors for your property.What is the difference and why does it matter? Parking Lot Sealcoating Companies in most commercial applications apply a sand mix. The sand that is added will help seal small cracks as well as add texture to the surface of the Parking Lot helping to reduce accidental slips on wet pavement. Almost any material that is manufactured with blended material's will require mixing and agitation Parking Lot Sealcoating is one of them. A professional Sealcoating Contractor will have a substantial investment in thier equipment.
Sealcoating can be applied with a spray system or with a squeege and sometimes both application methods are used on site. The difference is in the cost of the equipment. A sealcoating system with hydraulic agitation will cost anywhere from $7500.00 and up. A recirculating sealcoating tank system can be purchased for around $1500.00 and up. There are lower cost methods for applying sealcoating but we are speaking of Professional Sealcoating Companies not the tote and broom bunch.
Getting back to sand mix Sealcoating, This is where the difference in sealcoating systems makes a difference. Several manufacturers claim recirculating the sealcoating with-in the tank will keep the sand mixed. That has not been our experience, sand is heavy and settles, hydraulic agitation has mixing blades with-in the tank to keep the sand and materials properly mixed and you can forget about mixing the sealcoating by hand.
Sealcoating Companies
Sealcoating companies are not all created equal , some sealcoating companies are best at low bid work spray and go, some sealcoating companies can't seem to keep the sealcoating off the concrete edges, unfortunately some sealcoating companies will offer premium service at 2 coats and only deliver one coat or the equiilant of low bid work with a dishonest approach. As always you get what you pay for with most sealcoating companies.
If you are working with professional sealcoating companies you will get a detailed proposal outlining the differences and choices for sealcoating materials. ACS Sealcoating will offer you three levels of service and detail the differences for you.
