LAS-320 Non-Toxic Asphalt Sealer and Preservative
Sealing your driveway with LAS-320 is a great way to protect it from the elements that over time destroys it. Your asphalt driveway is an asset that’s worth protecting and a little investment into sealing it can extend the life of your blacktop many years, improve the curb appeal, and increase the value of your property.
LAS-320 VS Coal Tar Asphalt Sealers
LAS-320 is a non-toxic eco-friendly fuel resistant asphalt sealer developed for military airports to protect asphalt against damages from fuel spills and is classified by the FAA as a Fuel Resistant Sealer. It makes a molecular bond with the oxidized surface that penetrates and seals cracks. LAS-320 makes the surface impervious to water, fuels, oils, chemicals, Ultra Violet damage, and helps prevent freeze-thaw damage.
Coal tar sealant is a thick, black goop applied to driveways, asphalt parking lots and playgrounds, primarily in the eastern United States. The sealcoat contains high levels of toxic chemicals that can cause cancer and environmental harm. But the shiny, black sealant contains toxic compounds known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, which can seep into the environment. As a result, several cities have banned the sale and use of the product, and some localities are suing coal tar sealant manufacturers to get them to pay for the costly environmental cleanups.

Asphalt pavements do not last forever because external factors destroy the oils that bind it all together. Heat & Sunlight accelerates the deterioration process; salt and other chemicals will also act as a catalyst. When oxygen and water contact this binder, a chemical change takes place. At first, this process is necessary for the pavement to become hard and firm. After time if this process is not stopped, complete deterioration will take place making the asphalt brittle and eventually reduce the pavement to a layer of loose stone.
Using LAS-320 will help prevent water intrusion which leads to base failure, cracking, and potholes. As the climate changes, LAS-320 expands and contracts with changing temperatures unlike conventional sealcoating products, LAS-320 will not crack or fade and can remain effective for ten years or more.
The easiest way to apply LAS-320 is by pouring it directly on the surface and spreading it out with a broom. LAS-320 can be sprayed with an airless paint sprayer or with asphalt spraying equipment. Most driveways will have at least a few cracks which should be repaired first because even small cracks will grow wider and longer over time. Cracks that are ¾” or less can be filled with coarse sand immediately before application by pouring sand on the cracks making sure they are filled completely. Small hairline cracks can be sealed with only the LAS-320. Typical application rates range from 60 to 120 square feet per gallon depending on the surface texture, porosity, application method, and other factors.

The toxic dust from coal tar-based sealcoat doesn’t stay put. It seeps into water, evaporates into air and gets tracked into people’s homes.
