If you are tired of waiting for your sealer to dry so the pavement is ready, consider using this FSA Fast Sealing Additive. When you use this product, it will help your sealer dry faster. It also offers some other wonderful benefits. The product helps to improve the dispersion of sand in the mix, and it can stop tracking. Using this additive will also help with improving the oil and gas resistance of the pavement. In addition, it will not build viscosity. All this for just pennies on the gallon!
Use only when the ambient temperature is above 50° for several hours during the day.
- Reduces drying time by 50%+
- Dries blacker
- Reduces tracking and power steering marks
- Compatible with all brands of sealer
- Tested and proven coast-to-coast
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 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.
How to Prime an Oil Spot Before Using FSA Fast Sealing Additive
FSA Fast Sealing Additive accelerates dry times and helps deliver a clean, track-free finish—but only if the asphalt underneath is prepped right. Oil spots can stop your sealer from bonding and ruin the job. Use this simple Key Test to decide if you need to prime or patch first.
The Key Test for Oil Spot Prep
Take a key or flat-head screwdriver and press it into the oil-stained area:
- If it’s soft or gives way: the asphalt is compromised. Cut it out and patch with a proper asphalt repair before sealing.
- If it feels solid: pressure wash with hot water and a degreaser. Once dry, apply an Oxi-Bond primer to lock in adhesion.
This quick field test helps ensure your FSA-enhanced mix sticks, cures fast, and looks professional from day one.
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.
Suggested Formula Range:
A minimum of 2% FSA Additive added pero 100 gallons of concentrated pavement sealer will significantly accelerate the drying time of the applied coating. For an even faster set 5% additive is recommended.
All sand used should be clean, dry, pure silica sand, free of clay, trash particles and other contaminants. Medium fine sand with an A.F.S. rating of 50 to 70 gives best results. There should be no more than 2% retained on 30 mesh or coarser, no more than 10% retained on 140 mesh and no more than 0.3% retained on 200 mesh.
Formulation Tips:
The formulation above is only a suggested starting point. The actual mix ratio will depend on the job requirements, as well as what works best for your crew and equipment. Generally:
- More FSA will shorten the sealer drying time.
- Up to a point, more FSA will result in a thicker, more viscous sealcoat. Past that point, any more FSA added will actually thin out the mixture. This point varies according to the sealer brand and type.
- More sealer will thicken the mixture.
- More water will thin out the mixture. Too much water will cause issues with handling and drying time.
Mixing the Sealcoating Material:
FSA does not require pre-dilution but should be mixed well before using it. Add prepared FSA and some water into the predetermined amount of sealer, and then begin agitation. It is better to start with only a small amount of water and continue adding as needed to avoid thinning the mixture too much from the start.
Application Tips:
- Fog spray the pavement with water to dampen it, but not use too much. Too much water will leave puddles and thin out the pre-mixed sealer.
- FSA sealer can be applied using a sprayer system, squeegee, or brush.
- When applying sealer, ambient temperature should not fall below 50⁰F, and no rain must be forecasted with 24 hours after application.
- If necessary, apply a second coat if the first coast has dried enough without scuffing. After allowing the second coat to dry, check to make sure no tracking or scuff marks are visible before opening the pavement for regular use and traffic.
