New
England Sealcoating has sealed over 357 million square feet of pavement!
(Note:
We do not do residential driveways, sorry.)
Sealcoating can double the life of your
pavement by protecting it from its enemies: sun, oxidation, weather,
water, oil & gas. New England Sealcoating applies sealcoating
products tailored for each particular situation to form a tough
protective coating over your parking lot.

What
Is Sealcoating And Why Is It Necessary?
Properly
designed parking lots rarely wear out from traffic. Surface deterioration
is usually caused by the weathering effects of the sun and rain as well as
the softening effects of deicers, gasoline and oil drippings.

Sealcoated |
Oxidation,
the graying in color of asphalt pavement, is a sign of fatigue, aging and
general surface deterioration. When unprotected pavement becomes oxidized, the aggregate will begin to ravel from the surface making the pavement
rough. Once the surface becomes brittle, cracks develop, and the pavement
deteriorates. Furthermore, water which accumulates in open pavement
structures is a major cause of pavement damage.
|
Instituting
a preventive maintenance program before these damaging elements get a hold
on your pavement is important. Application of a rubber fortified coal tar
emulsion is the most cost effective maintenance procedure available. When
you sealcoat asphalt you double its life by shielding it from a variety of
destructive forces. In addition to its practicality, sealcoating also
enhances the appearance of your pavement by giving it an attractive,
easy-to-clean, slate black color finish.
Silica
Sand is usually added to coal tar sealer to provide a heavier wearing
surface. The addition of sand also means that the sealer will last longer
and will be more skid resistant than sealer which does not contain sand.
Typical sand load is 4 to 6 lbs. of silica sand per gallon of the Coal Tar
Emulsion. (Based on concentrate.)
Sealcoating
pavement for pennies a square foot can save dollars in future costly
repairs or replacement.

New
England Sealcoating is a Certified Jennite Applicator in New
England. With Jennite you get a written Dual Warrantee backed up
by both the Manufacturer and the Contractor!
Jennite® is a premium quality, high solids pavement sealer
composed of refined resin binder into which fuel and oil-resistant, high molecular weight rubber is hot-blended prior to emulsifying in a water/clay slurry.
What does that mean? It's the best pavement protection money can buy!

Why
Apply A Penetrating Primer?
Older
asphalt surfaces become oxidized from the sun and weather. Oxidation
causes the asphalt surface to become brittle, exposing the aggregate.
 |
Coal
tar emulsion sealcoating material needs a good, sound surface that it can
bond to. If the sealer is applied over exposed aggregate or old, porous
and oxidized asphalt surfaces, the sealer will not bond properly.
Furthermore, the effects of traffic and weather will cause the improperly
bonded sealer to wear prematurely. You would never have your car painted
without putting a primer coat on first. Our penetrating primer, in essence,
works the same way. Applying Polyprime leaves a surface that the sealer can bond to.
There
are three types of primers:
* Diluted coal tar sealer
* Diluted asphalt emulsion
* Penetrating primer
|
Diluted
coal tap or diluted asphalt emulsion do very little more than coat the top
surface. Neither of these types of primers has long-term bonding,
nor do they penetrate the pores or voids. The dispersed particles of tar
or asphalt are too large to get into the surface and must sit on top.
These two types of primer will wear quickly due to traffic and weather, and
will do very little to improve long-term bonding of the sealer.
The
penetrating primer is a special solution of tar in solvent. It is a
multi-polymer/refined coal tar primer specially formulated to improve
adhesion of pavement sealer to oxidized asphalt and the exposed stone. Its
molecular structure allows it to quickly and effectively get down in the
pores of the surface and create a good, sound surface to which the sealer
can bond. The primer coats the exposed stone and penetrates the surface.
When the solvent evaporates, the surface is coated with tar to which a
sealer can be applied and bond to properly. The end result is a much
stronger, and less porous pavement.

Paveshield
Paveshield is an asphalt based sealer developed by Neyra
Industries. Paveshield is fortified with Duraflex, a high molecular weight
polypetrol resin. The binder base is emulsified in a high temperature, high
shear, manufacturing process. The fusion of Duraflex and other raw materials
creates a homogeneous coating capable of high sand loads, providing an
exceptionally tough, long lasting skid resistant surface.
Paveshield is not only an excellent coating, it is environmentally friendly.
Paveshield is a low VOC, non flammable coating that emits no obnoxious odors or
fumes and it contains no solvents or coal tar to irritate the skin.

Striping
|
|
New England Sealcoating is up to date on Americans with
Disabilities Act ( ADA) Regulations and can help
maximize parking space and enhance traffic flow. We offer a full range of
striping options, such as crosswalks, pedestrian and jogger trails, words,
symbols, custom ideas and colors welcome.
The ADA has established that every facility covered by Title III
have at least one handicap parking place. After that, it has determined that a
specified number of handicap spaces be included for each set number of regular
parking stalls.
Each parking lot must have at least one parking stall accessible
to vans. If the lot has more than eight spaces, it needs to have at least one
van-accessible space for every eight handicap-accessible parking stalls.
