Asphalt seal coating Decatur is a process of applying a protective layer to an asphalt surface, typically a driveway or a parking lot. The purpose of the seal coating is to protect the asphalt from weather elements, such as rain and snow, as well as from other environmental factors, such as oxidation, sun exposure, and fuel spills. The process of asphalt seal coating typically involves the following steps: cleaning, preparation, application of the sealant, and drying.

Cleaning the surface is an important step in the process of asphalt seal coating Decatur. The surface must be free of dirt, debris, and other materials that can affect the adhesion of the sealant. This is usually done using a pressure washer and a broom.

The preparation process involves repairing any cracks or holes in the asphalt. This is done to prevent water from entering the underlying base material and causing further damage. The sealant can also penetrate the cracks and provide a tight seal.

The application of a sealant is done using a spray machine, which sprays the sealant evenly over the surface. The sealant is then spread out using a roller, ensuring that the entire surface is covered. The sealant should be applied in two thin coats, with a dry time of 24 hours between each coat.

The final step is drying, which typically takes 24 hours or more, depending on the weather conditions. During this time, the surface should not be walked on or driven on.
