Yes – it’s impossible to match old asphalt using new asphalt, even with infrared repairs. How well a repair blends with the surrounding asphalt depends on one main factor, how many times the surrounding asphalt has been sealed. Each time you sealcoat your asphalt, the voids between the aggregate get filled in a little more. The more times a driveway has been sealed, the less texture it has, leaving little chance it will match up with new asphalt that has more texture

To understand how sealcoating works, it is necessary to understand the nature of the asphalt pavement itself. Because of its excellent waterproofing, flexibility, and adhesive properties to bind and hold the aggregates in the pavement, asphalt has been used extensively for paving and road construction.   WHAT IS ASPHALT SEALER ?  A sealcoat is a liquid asphalt product made up of tar, fine aggregates, and specialized liquid plastics that are designed to provide a protective coating against UV rays and moisture. This special asphalt sealant is applied by paving contractors either by spraying or with brushes over the whole surface, creating a fresh surface and revitalizing old pavement.
