seal coat

Driveway surface treatment

A seal coat is a thin protective layer applied to a surface, especially asphalt pavement.

Homeowners and municipalities apply seal coat to driveways and roads to protect against water, oil, and UV damage: The parking lot needs a fresh seal coat.

The term also appears in woodworking for a preliminary finish that seals pores before final coating.
