Looking after your

tarmac in hot weather

During hot weather, your black tarmac will absorb a lot of heat. When tarmac gets hot the bitumen binding agent will soften and in doing

so will make your tarmac easier to scuff and dent. It is important that you are careful while you drive and work on you hot tarmac. Try to avoid sharply turning you wheels, especially if the vehicle has power steering. As the tarmac

ages it will become grey and harden which will result in it being much more durable. For more
