There are many types of crack as the change of temperature. Different types of crack can be sealed by different method.
These are perpendicular cracks that occur due to a combination of things, mainly extremely low temperatures and overuse of the pavement. Transverse cracking usually happens on main roads or in high-traffic parking lots and plazas. Cold temperatures cause the aggregate to shrink, which starts the cracking process and the weight of all the vehicles constantly driving on the pavement widens the cracks more.
Reflective Crack in Asphalt
Reflective crack usually signifies that there is a much deeper issue below the surface. These are cracks that extend from the foundational layer of the asphalt and make their way to the top layer. Once again, this can easily be fixed with crack filler.
Slippage Crack
Slippage cracks have a crescent shape and they should be dealt with immediately because they can quickly turn into large and dangerous potholes, especially if your parking lot has a constant high volume of traffic. If the asphalt aggregate has a high sand content, this type of crack usually occurs, thereby preventing its adhesion to other materials in the composite. Depending on the size of the rupture and the degree of damage, you can use some or all of the patches to correct the problem.
