2022 AMP Faces of Arkansas
2022 Face of SealCoat Manufacturing: SealTite of Arklahoma
Martha Moore, President
Who or what has been a source of inspiration for you?
SealTite of Arklahoma produces “Rhynotite” asphalt emulsified seal coat. This company emerged from my search to find safety gear to protect my paving company’s employees. My father Ed McCormick founded McCormick Asphalt Paving; he mentored me in the paving industry from 1990 till his health forced his retirement. There is no doubt that his exposure to toxins in the workplace contributed to his diagnosis of cancer (Hence my desire to produce and use a SAFE material.) I still ask myself what he might do in a given situation daily.
This knowledge lead me on a mission to inform consumers it’s not only the contractors exposed, It has been eye-opening and challenging. Ask your day care, school, doctors office, etc what you are walking on and taking home on your feet.
Rhynotite, contains no cancer-causing PAHs, does not burn exposed skin, and is a certified “green” product. It is tough and long lasting.
When I discovered we do have a choice between coal tar based (TOXIC) and asphalt emulsified seal coats for maintenance of asphalt I was so excited! The more I learn the more I want to help be part of the good that can come from a small change in job specifications for material. Nothing is more important than good health and clean water for the future generations. I love being part of that!
