MIXING PROCEDURES

Primer For Coatings: For use as a primer for coatings (such as asphalt, coal tar, or acrylic pavement sealers) dilute Asphalt Binder with water as follows (based on 10 gallons for ease of calculation):

NOTE - DO NOT USE Asphalt Binder at full strength as a primer for coatings. It must be diluted with water in accordance with above mixing instructions.

For Use As A Tack Coat For Patching Or Paving:

APPLICATION

Apply properly mixed Asphalt Binder (Asphalt Binder, Water) with spray equipment, brush, or squeegee. Stir material thoroughly before applying.

IMPORTANT

Apply coatings, patching materials, or paving materials as soon as possible after Asphalt Binder dries (within 24 hours) in order to maintain tackifying properties.

APPLICATION RATE FOR DILUTED ASPHALT BINDER

For Use As A Primer For Coatings: Apply properly diluted Asphalt Binder (1 part Asphalt Binder, 8 parts water) at a rate of .07 - .10 gallon per square yard (90-130 square feet per gallon).

For Use As A Tack Coat For Patching Or Paving:

Apply properly diluted Asphalt Binder (1 part Asphalt Binder, 1 part water) at a rate of .07 - .10 gallon of mix per square yard (90-130 square feet per gallon of mix).

ESTIMATING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

To estimate gallons of Asphalt Binder required to cover a specific area, use the following coverage rates:

For Use As A Primer For Coatings: One gallon of Asphalt Binder will cover approximately 800-1,170 square feet (89-130 square yards) when diluted properly (1 part

For Use As A Tack Coat For Patching Or Paving:

One gallon of Asphalt Binder will cover approximately 180-260 square feet (20-29 square yards) when diluted properly (1 part Asphalt Binder, 1 part water).

NOTE - Coverage Rates may vary due to pavement age and porosity.

PRECAUTIONS

Both surface and ambient temperature shall be a minimum of 50°F. Temperature shall not drop below 50°F in a 24 hour period following application. Keep Out Of Reach Of Children. Do not store unopened containers in freezing temperatures.
