Oil-based sealing is a premium asphalt protection method that penetrates deep into the surface, restoring flexibility and preventing cracks. At Onyx Asphalt, we recommend oil-based sealing for both residential and commercial properties when maximum longevity is the goal.

Compared to emulsion sealcoating—which provides an excellent surface shield—oil-based sealing works beneath the surface, rejuvenating aged asphalt while creating a strong barrier against moisture and UV damage. Emulsion sealcoating is ideal for enhancing curb appeal and protecting newer pavement, while oil-based sealing is best for aging surfaces needing deep restoration and long-lasting protection. Both services extend pavement life and reduce repair costs.
