Which is the Best Coal Tar or Asphalt Emulsions?

To the Contractor, Property Manager, and Property Owner As a manufacturer of both coal tar emulsion and asphalt emulsion pavement sealers, we have no preference which sealer the consumer chooses to protect their asphalt surfaces. However, in the selection process, consumers such as yourself should have the facts and make an educated decision. Below is a tabulation of tests comparing coal tar emulsions and asphalt emulsions.

Test	Coal Tar Emulsion	Asphalt Emulsion
Gas Resistance	Pass	Failure
Motor Oil Resistance	Pass	Failure
Kerosene Resistance	Pass	Failure
Scrub Resistance  (Durability test)	4000 cycles	2400 cycles
Water re-absorption	1.00%	3.2%

(The Water re-absorption test is an indicator for durability since water attacks seal coatings causing re-emulsification, which can lead to tracking sealer into your place of business. Low numbers are better.)

Odor	Some	None
Skin Irritant	yes	yes
Photosensitive	yes	no

(This is what causes burning to some contractors but in no way affects the consumer)

OSHA Emission testing

pass

pass

(Both showed no detectable amounts or less than 2% of the permissible limits by OSHA of carcinogenic compounds including Benzene, CTPV’s, PNAH’s, or any other compounds of concern.)

Color retention	pass	fades
Flexibility	pass	pass
Drying time	pass	pass

Claims of environmental concerns of coal tar emulsions are unfounded with no factual data and are only a scare tactic. Both coal tar and asphalt are naturally occurring products: coal tar coming from plant matter, asphalt coming from animal matter. Coal tar will always be more resistant to water, gas, oil, and other chemicals by its chemical make-up. Asphalt will always be less odorous and cause far less burning to the contractor. Asphalt is an advantage to the contractor, but as of this report has less advantage to the consumer when considering protection against UV radiation, gas, oil, chemicals, color retention, and water absorption.

Parking lot striping is an often overlooked

an aspect of business design. Indeed, few people ever stop to consider what a parking lot looks like or how it functions until it becomes a problem. But, despite this lack of ostensible care, a great parking lot provides a fantastic subliminal first impression for any business, and none should overlook this vital part of traffic flow.

There are many things to consider when marking up a parking lot. For instance, for safety, all parking lots should consider containing well demarcated crosswalks, loading-zones, and fire lanes. Further, flow can further be increased by designating areas for mass transit vehicles and by adding stop bars for safety within individual parking spaces.

However, one of the smallest aspects provides one of the biggest impacts on your overall parking lot is the parking lot striping. There are three main ways that efficient and visible parking lot striping contributes to the overall function of a parking lot.

First, it helps you maximize the space that you own. In these days of spiking real estate cost, every square foot you can save offers you the chance to further capitalize on your investment. Further, by effectively managing the space, you can prevent accidents and provide for the maximum number of customers at the same time.

Second, it helps form an efficient flow of traffic. By adequately banking parking slots and providing arrows that direct drivers where they should drive, parking lot striping can control the flow traffic, increasing safety and eliminating gridlock that can be both ugly and time-consuming for your patrons.

Lastly, effective striping lets you designate parking. Whether you need the ADA regulated handicap spaces, a fire lane in case of emergencies, or you want to designate parking for the elderly, expectant mothers, or other VIP’s, by customizing the parking lot striping you can avoid confusion and keep these spots free for the people that they were intended for.

As a special note, as important as parking lot design is, it is also important to help minimize your environmental impact. Parking lot striping can be accomplished using acrylic water-borne paint that has a low toxicity in the surrounding environment. However, your pavement care responsibilities don’t evaporate as the paint dries on your favorite design choice. Instead, proper pavement maintenance and adequate striping upkeep will help you keep your parking lot in tip top condition for years to come.
