What is Asphalt Sealer?
Also known as blacktop sealer, this product provides a protective layer to your asphalt pavement's surface. Think of it as sunscreen for your asphalt. A coat or two of sealer protects the pavement from UV rays and prevents it from cracking. And because the pavement doesn't crack easily, rainwater and snowmelt do not get a chance to drip into the cracks.
Asphalt sealant, however, is more than just a protective coating. It also restores the beauty of the asphalt long after it has faded. It gives the pavement a sleek black color that contrasts nicely with green lawns.
Asphalt is one of the strongest materials there is. But just like other materials, it degrades over time because of constant exposure to the elements, oils and heavy traffic. As the years pass, the parking lot or driveway becomes susceptible to cracking.
Well-made asphalt pavements have an average lifespan of about 25 years. But you can prevent damage and avoid costly replacement simply by applying asphalt sealant every 2 to 3 years. You can also have it sealed by a contractor if you cannot do it yourself.
Pros & Cons of Different Blacktop Sealcoating Materials
The table below shows the different types of blacktop sealer, their pros and cons and the average time it takes for each type to dry.
| Type of Sealcoating | Pros | Cons | Dry time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coal Tar Emulsion | Water and UV-resistant. Popular due to its superior ability to resist moisture, oil and most chemical penetration. | Suspected of contributing to water pollution and emitting a carcinogenic compound. Permanently banned in some states. | Approximately 4 to 8 hours. |
| Asphalt Emulsion | No toxic, carcinogenic emissions. Has a darker, more appealing color. Water resistant and provides good anti-slip friction when mixed with slate or sand | Not as resistant to petroleum-based contaminants. Not UV resistant and more likely to fade faster. | Approximately 4 to 8 hours. |
| Oil Based | Water-resistant and penetrates the surface of asphalt, forming a more pliable bond that helps prevent cracking during winter. | Has the longest curing period and emits a strong odor. Also contains toxic compounds, so distribution is restricted. | 24hrs up to several days. |
| Fast Dry | Dries in less than an hour of application, making it ideal for busy, public roadways and large, active parking lots. | Generally sold in bulk and come with a higher price tag, making them impractical for most smaller property owners. | Can dry in 2 to 6 hours. |
| Acrylic | Comes in different colors. Environmentally friendly. Very durable. Can withstand UV and weather exposure. | The most expensive type of sealer on the market. | Approximately between 4 to 12 hours |

Frequently Asked Question
A blacktop sealer helps to protect your investment. It acts as a barrier against damaging water penetration that can cause cracks or potholes. Furthermore, asphalt sealer shields the binder from the sun’s harmful UV rays and oxidation. These can cause the binder to dry out and become brittle.
The frequency of asphalt sealer application will depend on factors such as climate, traffic volume and the quality of the initial application. In most cases, you should seal your blacktop driveway or lot every two to three years. More frequent applications might be necessary for surfaces exposed to harsh weather, heavy traffic, sunlight and certain chemicals.
Proper surface prep helps you get the most out of any blacktop sealer product. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface, removing all dirt, debris, oil stains and loose gravel with a stiff brush, power washer or degreaser as needed. Clean and seal all cracks with a suitable crack filler before applying the asphalt sealer. Your surface should be completely dry before you begin sealing, as moisture can negatively affect adhesion and curing.
Asphalt primer is a liquid applied to your surface before using other products like sealers, patching materials or overlays. Think of it like a primer you'd use before painting — it prepares the surface to ensure a better bond and performance of the subsequent material. A good primer helps seal oil spots and bonds well to oxidized asphalt.
