Parking Lot Seal Coating in NH comes in liquid form and is often applied onto parking lots and driveways made of asphalt as part of maintenance. The seal coat works by protecting the asphalt from various forms of damage including:
* Cracking that often manifests itself during the winter season
* Damage from traffic e.g. wearing
* Ultra-Violet light rays
How Frequently to Apply Seal Coating
The frequency with which Parking Lot Seal Coating in NH is applied often depends on the location of the parking lot. For instance, if the lot is located in an area that sees a lot of traffic, it would need to be maintained more regularly than one that is only used periodically. The same is true for seasonal change. For lots that are located in areas that experience the freeze and thaw process, seal coat would need to be applied more frequently than it would in an area that does not. This is because such factors have an effect on not only the lot, but the ground underneath it, which requires more attention to be paid in Pavement Maintenance.
Protecting the Parking Lot from Oxidation
Oxidation is the process through which electrons are transferred between two different elements, which essentially changes the composition of the element. Oxidation can cause damage to asphalt because once it occurs; the composition of the asphalt is transformed, often compromising its structural integrity. An effectively applied seal coat basically acts as a barrier between the asphalt and any foreign material. Examples of such materials that could potentially damage your parking lot include gasoline and car oil. By protecting the pavement from damage, you are able to get ahead of the problem; consequently preventing damage that would potentially cost much more to hire repair or replacement services.
In addition to protecting pavements, driveways and parking lots from oxidation, seal coating also helps to keep it looking good for much longer.
