Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts

It is not recommended to seal brand-new or uncured asphalt immediately after installation. You should wait at least three months to allow the asphalt time to cure. Applying a seal coat too soon can trap the asphalt's oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can lead to a weaker surface that is more vulnerable to damage. After the initial three-month curing period, applying a seal coat can extend the asphalt's life by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.

Oil-based sealers generally offer longer results for driveways in cold climates. If you experience extreme temperatures, oil sealants offer a level of flexibility that makes them expand and contract along with the freeze-thaw cycle instead of cracking.

Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.

Many services include sealing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.

Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product—extracted during crude oil refining—and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today’s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.
