As an asphalt contractor, are you looking for better ways to provide clients with adequate asphalt protection, repair and maintenance? You’re not alone! Contractors continually need the latest asphalt paving equipment to stay ahead of the competition. And when it comes to the best machines for slurry seals and sealcoating, E.D. Etnyre & Co. has you covered.
Sealcoating is one of the most common protection methods for asphalt. Adding a seal coat layer to asphalt helps protect it from damage caused by gas spills, oil spills, UV rays, extreme temperatures, moisture and oxidation. Generally, most freshly paved roadways require sealcoating within a few months to a year after completion. To ensure your pavement stays protected and well-maintained, it’s recommended to reapply sealcoating every 2 to 3 years. Sealcoating works best for pavement surfaces that don’t see heavy traffic.
In addition to sealcoating, slurry seal treatment is another asphalt protection option. However, while sealcoating adds a protective “seal” to asphalt, a slurry seal can mend and restore deteriorating pavement. A mixture of asphalt emulsion, aggregate, binders and water creates an effective seal that fills cracks, rebinds unraveling pavement, and overall strengthens asphalt. Additionally, slurry seals provide many of the same protections and resistances as seal coats. Slurry seal treatment works best for pavement surfaces that undergo heavy traffic.
