SolarPave
Reduce Pavement Surface Temperatures with SolarPave
SolarPave is a durable, solar-reflective cool pavement coating designed to reduce asphalt surface temperatures and help minimize urban heat island effects. Its acrylic polymer emulsion formula features Reflective Pavement Technology (RPT) and UV-resistant, light-colored mineral pigments that reflect solar energy and reduce heat absorption.
Ideal for roads, streets, parking lots, driveways and other asphalt surfaces, SolarPave provides a light-colored finish that enhances nighttime visibility. The coating is reinforced with anti-slip aggregate for added traction and achieves a minimum Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 33.
Features & Benefits
Reflective Pavement Technology
SolarPave uses Reflective Pavement Technology (RPT) to reflect solar energy and help reduce asphalt surface temperatures and urban heat island effects.
Solar-Reflective Mineral Pigments
UV-resistant, light-colored mineral pigments help reduce heat absorption by reflecting sunlight away from the pavement surface.
Minimum Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 33
SolarPave achieves a minimum Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 33, providing a measurable indication of its ability to reflect solar energy and reduce surface heating.
Added Slip Resistance
SolarPave is reinforced with anti-slip aggregate to provide a textured surface with added traction for vehicles and pedestrians.
Enhanced Nighttime Visibility
SolarPave’s light-colored finish improves pavement visibility at night compared with traditional black asphalt surfaces.
Recommended Uses:
- Roads
- Streets
- Parking Lots
- Driveways
- Multi-Purpose Recreational Surfaces
- Play Areas
- Walkways
- Bike Paths
NOTE: SolarPave is not recommended for concrete surfaces.
Application Guidelines

SolarPave
Reflective Pavement Coating
Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and free from loose material and dirt. Cracks should be filled with a suitable crack filler. Contact your local SealMaster professional for product recommendations.
Mixing Procedures
For optimum results, mix SolarPave to a uniform consistency using the recommended mix design.
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| SolarPave | 100 gal. |
| Sand (40-60 Mesh AFS) | 200 lbs. |
NOTE: If required, a small amount of water may be added to facilitate application.
Application
SolarPave can be applied using spray equipment capable of spraying coatings containing sand, squeegee machines, hand squeegees or brushes.
Apply a minimum of two coats to a properly cleaned surface. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat. Additional coats may be applied for added durability if desired.
Allow the final coat of SolarPave to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before opening the surface to vehicle traffic.
Important:
Temperatures must be above 60°F during application and remain so for at least 24 hours afterward. Do not apply when rain is imminent or forecast. Use an OSHA-approved respirator when applying this product.
Coverage
One gallon of SolarPave will cover approximately 63-81 square feet per coat (7-9 square yards) when properly mixed and applied.
For the recommended minimum of two coats, one gallon will cover approximately 31-40 square feet (3.5-4.5 square yards).
NOTE: Coverage rates may vary depending on the pavement age, porosity and application method.
