The asphalt driveway sealer prevents water
from seeping through the minor cracks that may form in your driveway as it
flexes through the year. If water is allowed to seep into the pavement,
particularly during the colder times of year, it will freeze and wind up
creating more cracks and heaves in the driveway.

When to Apply Asphalt Driveway Sealer
If you are installing a new asphalt paved driveway do not apply an asphalt
driveway sealer for at least 6-9 months. Asphalt pavement has light oils
that need to evaporate before the driveway becomes hard. This evaporation
can take up to 6-9 months. If you seal the driveway prior to the completion
of the evaporation process the driveway will never become as hard it could
have been otherwise.
