PMM Sealcoating in Durango: Superior Protection That’s Better for Our Environment
At Durango Sealcoating & Striping we protect your asphalt with Polymer Modified Emulsion (PMM) — a premium, environmentally responsible choice. We chose PMM because it delivers superior protection for our high-altitude climate and minimizes harmful runoff into the Animas River, which is important to us and our community.
What is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a high-performance protective treatment that applies a rich, black liquid layer over your asphalt. It acts like a shield, giving your driveway or parking lot serious defense against Durango’s harsh mountain conditions.
Our PMM sealcoating:
• Seals tiny cracks and porous surfaces before water and ice can get in
• Blocks intense high-altitude UV rays that rapidly dry out and crack asphalt
• Protects against damaging oil, gasoline, chemicals, and water penetration
• Restores a deep, uniform jet-black finish that makes your property look clean and professional
Applied after thorough cleaning, it creates a flexible, long-lasting barrier that dramatically extends the life of your asphalt.
Why Durango Asphalt Needs It
Our high altitude (6,500+ feet) and extreme Four Corners weather make sealcoating especially important:
• Stronger UV rays
• Big daily temperature swings
• Freeze-thaw cycles
• Daily wear from traffic and oil spills
Real Benefits
• Can double or triple the life of your asphalt
• Much cheaper than repairs or replacement
• Improves curb appeal and property value
• Easier to keep clean
For best results, we recommend sealcoating every 2–3 years.
Our Sealcoating Product: Polymer Modified Emulsion (PMM)
We use a high-performance Polymer Modified MasterSeal (PMM) because it is specially formulated for tough mountain environments like ours.
PMM vs Traditional Oil-Based Sealers
• More Flexible – Polymers allow it to expand and contract with our extreme temperature swings without cracking or peeling.
• Better Freeze-Thaw Resistance – Stays flexible through harsh winters.
• Superior Traction – Mixed with sand for excellent slip resistance in high-traffic parking lots and driveways.
• Environmentally Responsible – Low PAH and low VOC formula reduces harmful runoff into the Animas River.
• Longer Lasting – Excellent performance in both residential and high-traffic commercial lots.
• Beautiful Finish – Rich jet-black color with faster drying and lower odor.
The Real Secret to Longevity
Even the best sealer needs proper preparation. That’s why we always start with professional cleaning before applying PMM.
