If you have ever applied standard sealcoat to your driveway or parking lot, you know the story – fresh black colour for a season or two, only to watch it fade, crack and peel as weather, sunlight and traffic take their toll. While traditional sealing coating can provide basic protection, it’s not designed for the long haul.
That is why more property owners are turning to the ArmorPoxy Surface Bond HD Colour kit for engineered strength, beauty and lasting performance. It is offering a smarter and more cost-effective alternative to the old way of sealing asphalt.
Problem with Traditional Sealcoats
- Coal tar- and asphalt-based sealers have been the go-to for decades, but they come with drawbacks.
- Short lifespan – Most of the traditional coats are based on coal tar that releases high levels of VOCs and are being banned or restricted in many regions.
- Environmental Concerns – Coal tar seals release high levels of VOCs and are being banned in many regions.
- Limited Protection – They provide a surface layer but offer minimal resistance to oil, salt and chemicals.
- Fading and Wear – UV rays break down traditional sealers quickly, leaving surfaces dull and unprotected.
While these products can restore a blacktop look temporarily, they often mean an ongoing cycle of reapplication, labour and cost.
Why Surface Bond HD is Different
ArmorPoxy Surface Bond HD is different from the traditional coating in the marketing. This industrial-grade, one-part acrylic emulsion uses nanotechnology bonding agents to go deep into the asphalt and concrete to fill the gap. The results are a flexible, durable and high coating that can withstand years of weather, traffic and chemical exposure without peeling or cracking.
Unlike the traditional sealers that simply coat the top, Surface Bond HD creates a protective armour that resists
- UV damage – preventing fading and brittleness.
- Oil and Chemical Stains – Repels automotive fluids and harsh cleaners.
- Water Penetration – reduces freeze-thaw damage and pothole formation.
- Hot tyre pickup – Stays intact even under extreme summer temperatures.
The Long-Term Value
Surface Bond HD may cost more upfront than a basic sealcoat, but it pays for itself in fewer applications, reduced repairs and longer surface life.
Think of it like choosing a high-quality roof over cheap shingles: the initial investment is higher, but you avoid constant patching and early replacement. For homeowners, this means more years between maintenance cycles. For businesses, it means less downtime and fewer disruptions to traffic flow.
Aesthetic Advantage
While protection is key, Surface Bond HD also delivers style options that sealcoats simply can't match. Available in more than 16 vibrant colours and customer blends, and it even lets you have more than just black. You can match the building trim, add decorative contrast or use colour coding for safety zones, walkways or bike paths. In a commercial setting, this adds a level of professionalism and branding that standard blacktop just can’t achieve.
Environmental Benefits
Surface Bond HD is low VOC and water-based, making it safe to use in all regions and far more eco-friendly than coal tar products. For communities and businesses concerned about sustainability, it’s a responsible choice that doesn’t compromise performance.
Real-World Results
From busy parking lots to residential driveways, Surface Bond HD has been tested under the harshest conditions. Customers report years of lasting colour, minimal maintenance and surfaces that still look sharp long after a standard sealcoat would have worn away. It’s DIY friendly; many homeowners apply it themselves using basic rollers and mixers, saving even more on installation costs.
The Smart Investment Choice
If your goal is truly long-term protection, reduced maintenance and a surface that looks as good as it performs, it’s time to rethink the old sealcoat routine.
With ArmorPoxy Surface Bond HD, you are investing in a surface that resists fading, cracking and chemical damage for years and not just months. The result is less hassle, better kerb appeal and more value for your money.
