Friction Paving
The "Friction Paving” surfacing system provided by Lot Lines Striping and Sealcoating, consists of applying a specially formulated two-part binder which is topped with a pigmented or natural stone. This system provides a D.O.T. approved skid resistant and durable surfaces on both Asphalt and Concrete. Friction Paving can be applied onto existing asphalt and concrete or on newly placed, cured surfaces. The stone material that is applied to the top of the surface is available in a few choices of stone, as well as a variety of colors.
Typical applications for FrictionPave™ include:
Pedestrian Cross Walks
Safety Zones... Schools and Hospitals
Driveways and walkways
Bicycle lanes
Exit and entrance ramps
Sharp corners and dangerous curves
Asphalt Stamp and Color
The “Asphalt Stamp and Color” surfacing system provided by Lot Lines Striping and Sealcoating, is produced by stamping a template into freshly placed or re-heated asphalt. This is then followed by the application of a polymer modified coating. Stamped Asphalt Coatings provide durable, attractive, and slip-resistant coatings that are available in a wide choice of colors. You can also choose from a variety of stamping patterns and color combinations to create any desired look. Our coatings are applied at a minimum of 30 dry mils and as thick as 75 dry mils... depending on the application.
Features and Benefits:
Stamped into Asphalt
Fast Installation with little project downtime
Easily repaired with invisible seams
Salt resistant for coastal applications
UV stable coatings that maintain color for years
Simple to Complex Patterns
Custom Patterns and Logos
ThermoPrint™ patterned inlaid thermoplastic
The “ThermoPrint™ patterned inlaid-thermoplastic” striping system provided by Lot Lines Striping and Sealcoating, is produced by stamping a template pattern into freshly placed or re-heated asphalt using a vibratory plate. This is then followed by the application of a die-cut thermoplastic material that is then placed into this imprinted pattern and then bonded to the asphalt surface through a heat fusion process. There are 6 standard colors available to choose from, along with a variety of template patterns. We also can produce this material in any custom color your project may require. We recommend that an actual color sample be viewed for your approval prior to finalizing your color selection.

What is asphalt?
Asphalt pavement is made up of stone (aggregate), sand, additives and liquid (petroleum) asphalt. Liquid asphalt – a sticky black substance – is used as the binding material in asphalt pavements. It is viscous in nature and can also be found in semi solid forms. Another common term for asphalt is bitumen. The pavement – once mixed – consists of 90 to 95% aggregate and sand, and 5 to 10% asphalt or bitumen. Asphalt pavements high viscosity binds the materials that make up asphalt, while allowing it to simultaneously retain flexibility. The cooler the asphalt surface the less flexible the overall pavement. This flexibility found in asphalt pavement is one of its greatest strengths, allowing the surface to adapt to changing conditions produced by weather and the constantly changing surface beneath it. Another chief characteristic of asphalt is its ability to repel water.
What are the main benefits of asphalt?
Asphalt pavement is known for its durability and resilience. It is this strength which makes asphalt pavement the best option for most all paved surfaces. Most state and federal governments highly prefer asphalt pavement because of its reliability and lasting life. If it is properly laid, it need not be replaced for twenty to twenty five years. Asphalt pavement is also the most popular choice for applications such as driveways, parking lots, roadways, airstrips and more. Asphalt is everywhere. Asphalt is also the most commonly recycled material in the United States—before paper or plastic! Approximately 80% of all asphalt pavement is recycled when it is removed. Without question, if you are looking for lasting pavement for these applications, and one that can be used over and over again, asphalt pavement is the best choice. Additional benefits include:
What are the benefits of sealcoating with Lot Lines Striping?
By performing maintenance and sealcoating your asphalt property you will realize many benefits. To best protect and extend the life of your pavement we recommend setting up a regular maintenance plan. This will:
What causes asphalt to fail?
Assuming that the initial asphalt pavement was designed and constructed properly, the primary cause of failure is the penetration of water into the asphalt base. Asphalt failure often begins with the oxidation of an untreated pavement surface which causes the asphalt to become dry and brittle. The top layer of fine particles erodes, exposing the larger aggregate and leading to small cracks on the surface. These cracks will grow if left untreated, allowing water to penetrate to the base of the pavement. When water penetrates the underlying base, the base material softens, shifts and settles, leading to further cracking and a depression in the surface. As water pools in the depressed area, the asphalt further deteriorates and becomes unstable. When the pavement reaches this stage, removal and replacement of the old asphalt, along with the replacement and compaction of the underlying base material, is often the only remedy. We are happy to provide you a free onsite inspection to help you identify any early signs of asphalt degradation before they lead to major asphalt failure. By performing these annual inspections to identify and correct any problems at their earliest stages, you will maximize the useful life of your parking lot.
How do I best maintain my asphalt?
To successfully maintain asphalt pavement it is important you have a regular maintenance plan in place. Pavement maintenance plans can vary in scope, but they never vary in their purpose: to increase pavement life. A proper pavement maintenance program includes crack filling, pothole repair, sealcoating, and many other surface applications, depending on the condition of the pavement. It should also include sweeping and periodic line striping. A well maintained asphalt pavement can last up to 20 years or more.
What is decorative asphalt?
Decorative Asphalt is the ability to create an impression into the asphalt surface using a combination of heat, a stamping template, and a plate compactor. This can be achieved by working behind a paver or reheating the asphalt and the pattern is printed into the surface of the asphalt, creating a three-dimensional design. Features and Benefits:
What is friction paving?
This is a D.O.T. approved process that can be applied to both asphalt and concrete, quickly with little project downtime. It consists of a specially formulated two-part compound topped with a pigmented or natural stone. The resulting surface is skid resistant. Friction Paving consists of a specially formulated two-part binder topped with a pigmented or natural stone. Skid resistant and durable surfaces are provided using this procession both Asphalt and Concrete. Typical applications for Friction Paving are:

What is ThermoPrint™ inlaid thermoplastic?
ThermoPrint™ inlaid-thermoplastic is a type of decorative asphalt application that is produced by stamping a template pattern into freshly placed or re-heated asphalt using a vibratory plate. This is then followed by the application of a die-cut thermoplastic material that is then placed into this imprinted pattern and then bonded to the asphalt surface through a heat fusion process. The resulting pattern is below the surface level of the asphalt resulting in a long lasting colored pattern. Typical applications for ThermoPrint™ include:
What is thermoplastic striping?
Thermoplastic striping is a type of reflectorized pavement marking material that is applied through a heat fusion process to the surface of asphalt and concrete. This striping process results in durable lasting reflective pavement markings. Many states and municipalities require that thermoplastic striping be applied for Lane Line Striping, Pedestrian Crosswalks, Stop Bars, Directional Arrows, and Pavement Messages such as “STOP”, “ONLY”, “SCHOOL”, “MERGE”, etc. when these are applied in the public Right Of Way.
