Expert Sealcoating Built for Cochrane

Premium commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealant — defends against UV, oil, salt, and freeze-thaw damage.

Cochrane's mountain-foothills terrain and Chinook weather cycles create some of the toughest asphalt conditions in the region. Crax Asphalt has been delivering professional asphalt services across Calgary and Southern Alberta since 1994 — and we bring the same crew, the same premium materials, and the same 1-year warranty to every sealcoating job in Cochrane.

Why Cochrane Properties Need Professional Sealcoating

Cochrane's mountain-foothills terrain and Chinook weather cycles create some of the toughest asphalt conditions in the region. UV oxidation begins damaging asphalt the day it's installed, and Alberta's intense summer sun combined with winter freeze-thaw makes sealcoating essential for Cochrane properties. A proper sealcoat every 2–3 years can double the life of your pavement.

Our Sealcoating Process

  1. Prep: Power-sweep and clean — sealant won't bond to dirt or oil residue.
  2. Repair: Crack-fill and patch first — sealcoating over damage traps moisture and accelerates failure.
  3. Apply: Two-coat application of commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealant using spray or squeegee.
  4. Cure: 24–48 hour cure time before traffic. We provide cones and barriers if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every 2–3 years for commercial lots, every 3 years for residential driveways. High-traffic surfaces or areas with heavy oil/chemical exposure may benefit from more frequent application.
Typically 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. In cooler weather we recommend the full 48. We always advise on specific cure times for your project conditions.
No — sealcoating is a protective surface treatment, not a structural filler. We always recommend crack filling and pothole repair first, then sealing the sound surface. Sealing over damage masks the problem temporarily and accelerates failure.
Honestly, no. Big-box brush-on sealers wash off in a season and provide minimal protection. Professional commercial-grade asphalt emulsion is far more durable, applied at the correct thickness with proper equipment.
