4 Asphalt Emulsion Sealer Skids (16 x 55-Gallon Drums)

We carry commercial-grade DOT spec sealer with a coverage rate of 100 square feet per gallon.

• 5,500 square feet per 55 gallon drum. 
• 22,000 square ft per pallet of sealer and 
• 27,500 square feet of coverage per 275 gallon tote

Temperatures must be 55 degrees or warmer for 3 hours after application for it to dry properly. Cure times will be longer in cooler conditions. The hotter it is, the faster the water evaporates from the sealer and the dry time can be as fast as 30 minutes. Try not to apply if hotter than 105°F.

Ideally sealer should dry for a couple of hours before it rains. It may need more time if it's very cloudy and humid.

There is no need for two coats, but if you're doing two coats, do them a week apart so the sealer has time to cure completely.

Asphalt is like a sponge which can only absorb so much sealer. Thicker isn't better if it doesn't get absorbed. We recommend between 25-30% dilution to get good even coverage at maximum efficiency.

The cause of this is over-agitating the sealer. Only recirculate your sealer for 2-3 minutes max at the beginning of the day and maybe for a minute at the beginning of each job.

You get this when the sealer is too thick and the pump cannot create a prime to circulate the sealer. Dilute it properly to achieve 20 to 30% water dilution.

Use a dipstick to check the level of your sealer at the end of the day and the next time you use your system, just in case of water evaporation (if the levels are different, add enough water to regain the previous sealer level).

Another possible reason could involve the system's ball valve. On the output part of the pump, there's a ball valve that allows you to redirect the sealer to the top of the tank or to the spray gun. If that ball valve is constantly or permanently broken to the spray gun, you wouldn't get recirculation.
