Orlando's UV and Tropical Rain Destroy Asphalt Faster Than Inland Markets
Central Florida's intense UV bleaches asphalt binder within months on unshaded tourist retail lots and hotel parking structures. The surface turns chalky gray, raveling begins, and aggregate loosens under daily visitor traffic.
Afternoon tropical downpours follow extreme heat, thermal-shocking cracked pavement and flushing degraded sealer from poorly prepped surfaces. Water enters open pores and undermines the base during Florida's wet season.
Standard coal-tar and low-grade emulsion sealers fail quickly in Orlando's climate. Tycoon Asphalt specifies UV-stable polymer-modified formulas with rigorous oil spot treatment and mechanical prep before application.
