Product Description
LIQUID ROAD FOR ROADS is a polymer-modified, fiber reinforced asphalt emulsion coating that is job-mixed with specially graded aggregate and applied to pavement surfaces. The result is a highly durable, slip-resistant surface treatment that greatly extends pavement service life. Liquid Road meets ASTM D8099/D8099M-17 Standard Specifications for Asphalt Emulsion Pavement Sealer.

Recommended Uses
Liquid Road is a premium grade pavement coating that is ideal for all types of pavement surfaces including Roads, streets parking lots, shopping malls, airports, driveways, roadways and more. This specification pertains to Liquid Road application on Roads and Streets. For Parking Lot and Driveway application please refer to technical data sheet SMT-332.

Estimating Material Requirements
For road application, one gallon of Liquid Road will cover approximately 36-45 square feet (4-5 square yards) per coat when properly mixed and applied.

Application Rate of Mixed Materials
Apply properly mixed Liquid Road (Liquid Road and Aggregate) at a rate of 30-40 square feet (3.3-4.4) square yards) per gallon per coat. Application rates may vary due to pavement porosity and method of application. Multi-coat application is recommended for optimum durability (See APPLICATION PROCEDURES below.)

Surface Preparations

Surface must be clean and free from loose material and dirt. Cracks should be filled with SealMaster Cold Pour or Hot-Applied Crack Filler. On extremely weathered and oxidized pavement surfaces, tack coating (priming) may beneficial. Tack coat shall consist of diluted SealMaster Asphalt Binder, SS1h or CSS1h. Dilute 1 part Asphalt Binder, SS1h or CSS1h with 4 parts water. Apply diluted material at a rate of .05 to .10 gallon per square yard. Allow tack coat to dry thoroughly before applying Liquid Road.


Application Equipment

Liquid Road for Roads shall be applied by mechanical squeegee and or brush equipment. Equipment shall have continuous agitation or mixing capabilities to maintain homogenous consistency of Liquid Road and Aggregate mixture throughout the application process. Truck mount or self-propelled squeegee/brush equipment shall have at least 2 squeegee or brush devices (one behind the other) to assure adequate distribution and penetration of Liquid Road into bituminous pavement. Hand squeegees and brushes shall be acceptable in areas where practicality prohibits the use of mechanized equipment.

Liquid Road…………………… 100 gallons
Sand (11-15 mesh)……….. ……..400 lbs.
Note- See Table 3 – Liquid Road Aggregate Specification for Road Application

Application Procedures

To achieve optimum performance and the desired results for Liquid Road it is important to follow proper application procedures.

1.) Apply first squeegee/brush coat of mixed Liquid Road at a rate of 30-40 square feet (3.3 to 4.4 square yards) per gallon. Allow first coat to dry thoroughly before applying second coat.

2.) Apply second squeegee/brush coat of mixed Liquid Road at a rate of 30-40 square feet (3.3 to 4.4 square yards) per gallon. Allow second coat to dry thoroughly before opening to traffic.

Application Conditions

Liquid Road shall not be applied when temperature is expected to drop below 50°F during application and for a period of at least 24 hours after application.

Line Striping and Traffic Markings

Use SealMaster 100% Acrylic Traffic paint for line striping and traffic markings.

Cautions

Both surface and ambient temperature shall be a minimum of 50°F and rising during Liquid Road application. Do not apply if temperature is expected to drop below 50°F within a 24 hour period after Liquid Road application.

Packaging and Availability

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