6 Ways Asphalt Crack Sealing Helps Protect the Environment TOLL FREE : 1-888-728-3636 TORONTO : 416-410-3705 info@suresealpavement.com
How Asphalt Sealing Helps to Protect the Environment Asphalt crack sealing is a critical and cost-effective way of preserving the life of pavement. Sealing cracks and gaps in asphalt helps to prevent water from seeping into the base and causing further damage. This process involves filling cracks in the pavement with a flexible, rubberized asphalt-based material. This material expands and contracts with the temperature changes, which helps to prevent further cracking. By sealing cracks in asphalt, you can double or even triple the lifespan of pavement. Below are six ways that asphalt crack sealing can protect the overall environment.
Contains Less VOCs Asphalt sealcoat products contain pure water, additives, coal tar, and/or emulsifying agents. In addition, asphalt itself is one of the top recycled materials used in the world which cuts down on the need for mass production and increase of emission levels.
Prevents Contaminants from Entering Waterways Sealcoat protects against the formation of cracks and holes. Asphalt sealing provides a barrier to prevent oil, chemicals, and other vehicle fluids from penetrating into the surface and seeping into the groundwater that can easily contaminate nearby waterways.

Reduces Heat Island Effect The Heat Island Effect refers to the higher temperatures recorded in urban areas due to the content of heat-absorbing materials such as asphalt, concrete, and other building materials. The use of reflective sealants have been proven to improve environmental effects.
Minimizes Energy Consumption The cooling effect helps to reduce the need for consistent running of air conditioners, which helps with utility energy bills and use of power. As asphalt crack sealing products are durable to withstand the test of time, fewer repairs are needed, reducing energy produced with asphalt manufacturing.
Promotes Sustainable Living By reducing the need for asphalt production, it helps with the conservation of natural materials. The protective asphalt sealcoat extends the asphalt's lifespan, reduces the needs for repairs, and filters down to a more sustainable future.
Extends the Longevity of the Asphalt Asphalt sealcoating is a protective layer that resists moisture from penetrating any cracks or small holes that naturally form from heavy-weight vehicles and constant use. The coating works as a deterrent from having to replace the entire asphalt yard before scheduled due to damage.
