Just how much faster will the sealer dry when you use this additive? It can reduce the curing time by about 50% or greater. The product should be used with coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers or blends. Using it will make the coating dry blacker.
For those who are short on time and who want to have their jobs completed and cured as quickly as possible, this is an ideal solution.
Depending on the size of the job, or the number of jobs that you are doing, you need to make sure that you have enough of the FSA Fast Sealing Additive from Maintenance, Inc. on hand. You can choose from the five-gallon pail for those smaller jobs, or you could choose the 55-gallon drum for the big jobs. In addition, you will want to consider the weather and temperature when you are adding the FSA. Those who are in a colder weather environment will need to add additional FSA to the mix.
If you need great performance and the best drying times, this is the product that will answer those needs. It is easy to use, and it will not add thickness to the sealer, so keep in mind that it can’t be used as an extender or for bulking.
Here is the recommended ratio:
Sealer Concentrate: 100 GallonsIf your spray system is designed to work with sand (AK's Drum, Tote, Portable, 130 and 230 gallon systems do NOT work with sand) then you can also add:
Sand: 300-500lbsIn cold weather increase the amount of FSA to 7-10 gallons.
Yes it does.
For night time applications we also recommend our FASS DRI PSA at a 3% ratio based upon the bulk sealer. So 100 gallons of sealer would get 3 gallons of FSA.
The reason recommend the PSA is that it is a chemical reaction for the curing and actually drys the sealer from the bottom up by creating heat itself to where standard curing agents do not.
