Suitable Substrates:

Tarmacadam and asphalt driveways and paths
Aged/faded red tarmac on courts, lanes, and estate roads
Concrete drives, forecourts, and pedestrian routes (sound and dry)

Ensure surfaces are clean, sound, and dry before coating. Not recommended where standing water is present or on highly polished, non-porous surfaces.

Coverage & Spread Rate:

First coat: approx. 4 m²/L (≈ 20 m² per 5 L) depending on porosity and wear
Second coat: approx. 6 m²/L (≈ 30 m² per 5 L) on a previously coated surface

Apply two thin coats at right angles for best uniformity, seal, and colour depth.

Drying & Curing Times (@ 18 °C):

Touch dry: ~ 3 hours
Recoat: When touch-dry and matte (typically 3–4 hours)
Light foot traffic: After 6–8 hours
Vehicle traffic: After 24 hours
Full weatherproof cure: 7 days

Keep freshly coated areas dry for at least 6 hours after application. Cooler or damp conditions extend drying.

Finish & Sheen:

Satin, colour-rich finish (Normal) for a fresh, uniform driveway appearance
Micro-textured matt (Anti-Slip) with rounded quartz grit for added grip on slopes and busy walkways

Storage & Clean-Up:

Store sealed between 5–30 °C in frost-free conditions; avoid direct heat and sunlight.
Water-based: clean brushes, rollers, and trays with warm, soapy water before cure
Thinners: product is ready to use; can be diluted with clean water if necessary (not recommended as it reduces film build)

Batch & Packaging Notice:

For consistent colour across large areas, order your full requirement in one batch. During peak demand, products may ship in plain tins with a Trade Supplies UK label; formulation and performance are identical.

Safety Notice:

Apply outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure; wear gloves and eye protection. Keep away from children and pets until fully cured. Do not apply if rain is forecast within 24 hours. Dispose of waste according to local regulations. Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full guidance.

Note:However, please bear in mind on some occasions the packaging may arrive slightly damaged. Please do not order if you won't be satisfied with this.

Extreme Seal Tarmac Restorer & Sealer is suitable for a wide range of domestic, commercial, and public-surface projects where tired tarmac or asphalt needs rejuvenation, sealing, and colour restoration.

Residential driveways & footpaths: restores rich colour, locks aggregate, and prevents fretting.
Car parks & forecourts: seals and protects against oil, fuel, and de-icing salts.
Estate roads, playgrounds, and cycle lanes: ideal for faded red or black tarmac, providing both durability and safer grip.
Sports courts & community spaces: revives colour uniformity and withstands heavy foot traffic.
Commercial forecourts & pedestrian walkways: offers professional-grade, slip-resistant protection with the Anti-Slip variant.

This sealer is particularly valuable where downtime must be kept to a minimum, with same-day recoating and full vehicle use allowed within 24 hours.

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation

Clean: Jet-wash or scrub with a proprietary driveway cleaner, rinsing thoroughly. Allow at least 48 hours drying.
Remove debris: Eliminate moss, weeds, oil stains, and loose aggregate.
Repairs: Fill potholes or damaged areas with cold-lay asphalt before sealing.
Test Patch: Always test a small section to confirm colour match and adhesion.

Mixing

Stir the product thoroughly to ensure uniform consistency.
For the Anti-Slip variant, ensure the quartz grit remains evenly suspended during application.

Application

Decant into a tray or sprayer; do not pour directly onto the surface.
Apply the first coat by roller, brush, or sprayer in a thin, even layer, then back-roll to level.
Allow approx. 3 hours at 18 °C until touch-dry with a uniform matte appearance.
Apply the second coat cross-directionally for a stronger seal and deeper colour.
Maintain a wet edge and work in sections no wider than 3 m to avoid lap marks.

Curing & Reopening

Protect sealed areas from rain for at least 6 hours.
Allow light foot traffic after 6–8 hours.
Reopen to vehicle traffic after 24 hours at 18 °C.
Full chemical/weather resistance is achieved after 7 days.

Clean-Up

Wash tools immediately with warm, soapy water before the coating cures.
Absorb spills with sand or vermiculite and dispose of them in line with local regulations.
