PRODUCT DESCRIPTION & BENEFITS

OptiPave™ Surface Seal is a Ready-To-Use clay stabilized asphalt emulsion featuring a unique combination of asphalt cement and specialized clay designed as a high performance surface treatment for asphalt pavements.

OptiPave Surface Seal meets ASTM D8099/D8099M-17 Standard Specification for Asphalt Emulsion Pavement Sealer.

OptiPave™ protects and extends the useful pavement life by replacing the vital surface oils, locking down the loose aggregates and preventing damage caused by oxidation, weather, and traffic. OptiPave™ is an ideal choice to maintain residential streets, airports, highway shoulders, asphalt pavements, slurry seal and chip seal surface treatments.

Excellent film integrity, bonding, ultra-violet and fuel resistant properties provide superior protection against traffic, oxidation, and other environmental stresses.

OptiPave™ will not run onto adjacent concrete surfaces, resists traffic scuffing and tracking and retains a dark black non-glare color.

USES

OptiPave™ is an excellent maintenance strategy for residential streets, airports, highway shoulders and other areas where value and performance are critical. Also ideal for maintaining slurry seal and chip seal surface treatments.

COMPOSITION

OptiPave™ is a clay stabilized asphalt emulsion bituminous surface treatment fortified with adhesion promoters.

SIZES

OptiPave™ is available in bulk tankers, 275-gallon totes, 55-gallon drums, and 5-gallon pails.

COLOR

OptiPave™ dries to a deep, rich black color.

LIMITATIONS

Ambient and surface temperature must be at least 55°F and rising during application.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT - Do not apply OptiPave to smooth pavement. In order to maintain proper vehicle traction, OptiPave should only be applied to pavement with sufficient porosity (roughness and profile) in order to maintain proper traction. OptiPave depends on the existing roughness and profile of the pavement to maintain traction. OptiPave is designed to be sprayed in a single coat application only at a rate that maintains the existing porosity of the pavement. Do not squeegee apply OptiPave. Do not over apply OptiPave. Do not apply more than the recommended coverage rate.

• Surface cracks must be clean and free from loose debris, dirt and dust.

• Cracks should be sealed with approved crack sealants.

• OptiPave™ is designed to be applied by computer rate control asphalt spreader or standard sealcoat spray distributor trucks. Hand spray wands and brushes may be used for smaller areas and trim.

MIXING PROCEDURES

OptiPave™ is Ready-To-Use. DO NOT DILUTE.

APPLICATION RATE

Apply OptiPave™ at a rate of .12 to .18 gallons per square yard (50-75 square feet per gallon). Ultimate coverage will depend upon pavement age and porosity. OptiPave™ is provided Ready-To-Use; DO NOT DILUTE. OptiPave™ is applied as a one coat application. Do not apply two coats. Do not exceed recommended coverage rates. Do not puddle or leave excess material on surface. OptiPave is designed to penetrate the pores of the asphalt while maintaing the pavement profile for traction.

Application Rate over Chip Seal: Apply OptiPave at a rate of .18 to .2 gallons per square yard (45-50 square feet per gallon) over chip seal surfaces. OptiPave™ is applied as a one coat application. Do not apply two coats. Do not exceed recommended coverage rates. Do not puddle or leave excess material on surface. OptiPave is designed to penetrate the pores of the asphalt while maintaing the pavement profile for traction.

Drying Time: Allow OptiPave™ to dry thoroughly before resuming traffic. Under ideal conditions (70°F 50% relative humidity), OptiPave™ will typically dry in less than 2 hours. Lower surface and ambient temperatures may result in longer drying times.

ESTIMATING MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

To estimate gallons of OptiPave™ required to cover a specific area use the following coverage rate:

One gallon of OptiPave™ will cover approximately 5.55 to 8.33 square yards per gallon (50-75 square feet per gallon). Actual coverage rate may vary due to pavement age and porosity.

When applying over chip seal, one gallon of OptiPave will cover approximately 5 to 5.5 square yards per gallon (45- 50 square feet per gallon).

Precautions: Both surface and ambient temperature shall be a minimum of 55°F and rising during application.

Temperature shall not drop below 55°F in a 24 hour period following application. New asphalt surfaces should be allowed to cure a minimum of four weeks under ideal weather conditions (70°F) before applying OptiPave™.

Keep Out Of Reach Of Children. Do not store unopened drums or pails in freezing temperatures.

PACKAGING AND AVAILABILITY

OptiPave is available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums and bulk tanker load quantities. OptiPave is supported by a national network of SealMaster manufacturing facilities along with a national network of qualified applicators.
