It is true that water-based asphalt emulsions by themselves do not have fuel resistive properties. In short, if the desire is to use coal-tar sealer for the fuel resistive nature of the material using an additive in a water-based asphalt emulsion sealer will accomplish the same goals with out compromising our environment, or adding hazardous chemicals that might effect health and safety of the general public.

Coal tar sealcoats have environmental effects through the release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which run off into streams and lakes after the application.  Parking lots or driveways treated with coal-tar-based sealcoats are a major source of cancer-causing contaminants that can pollute air, soil, water and wildlife, posing a significant health risk to humans who may breathe, drink, or eat them in fish and other food.  Water-based asphalt emulsions do not contain PAHs and have little to no known adverse health risks.

​Another major benefit of water-based asphalt emulsion sealcoats are the facts that the mix design on the sealcoat can be modified to reflect the needs of the environment of the location of where the material is applied. Our sealer blend is designed with WY harsh winters in mind.
