Pallet of Coal Tar Sealer

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.

No, our sealer is designed to be applied in a non-heated state. The pavement does need to be a minimum of 50° to apply sealer.

It can, but please note that when the sealer starts to oxidize and wear the color will change to a beige/grey, which is not very attractive. But it will adhere.

Sure; it would work. It is a sealant designed to seal out water. Its original design was actually for undercoating trains in northern climates and then it was determined that it would work well for asphalt too.

Whether you used liquid cold-pour crack filler or rubberized hot-pour crack filler, it is best to let the product dry completely before applying sealer. Depending on ambient and surface temperatures, the actual drying time of the crack fill can vary. We usually recommend allowing crack fill to dry for 24 to 48 hours before applying sealer.

Coal tar sealer’s main ingredient is just that, coal tar. Coal tar is a thick, black liquid that is a byproduct of the distillation of bituminous coal (usually in the electricity production industry). Coal tar is mixed with additional minerals dependent upon the manufacturer. Additionally, all coal tar sealers must be mixed with water.

If the sealer is still in drums and sealed, you can store it for 24 months (out of the sun). If it is stored outside, 1 year. No matter what time of year it is, you must protect against freezing temperatures. This is true of storing asphalt sealer for the day or the season. Otherwise, you will end up with a ruined product that is useless to you. Make sure your sealant storage is 45º to 50º F whether it’s the end of the day or the end of the season.

Yes, Sealcoat can be painted (just think about the painted parking stalls in a parking lot!!). The paint should be a high-quality latex (water-based) paint. Less expensive paints may exhibit bleed through or discoloration of the paint. Any colors can be utilized. It is best to wait a few days after the Sealcoat is applied before painting.

No, you will not be able to use asphalt sealer once it’s frozen. When asphalt sealers are exposed to freezing temperatures, they lose the ability to bond properly to the surface of the pavement. Properly dispose of any sealer that has frozen over winter.

It's best to always have a bucket of soap and water handy. If there are stains, try an orange based hand cleaner available at any auto parts store. Apply to the overspray and let it work in for several minutes before removing with soapy water. You ...

It comes down to your weight and convenience. Totes weigh a grand total of about 3,000 lbs. As it sits for periods of a week or longer, the sediment and the clay in the sealer will settle to the bottom leaving a thick sludge at the bottom of the tote...
