Application Guidelines

If Algae or Green Growth is present, a pre-treatment with Green CLEAR is advised.

Before any application of the Tarmac Restorer, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and loose stones are swept away.

Clean the tarmac by jet washing with reduced pressure to avoid damage to the surface.

Carry out any tarmac repairs that may be required use Crack Repair Compound for holes and cracks. Cold Lay Repair for larger potholes.

Apply Tarmac Restorer to a clean, dry tarmac surface with temperatures above 12 degrees with no rain is forecast for at least 3 hours after the application of the tarmac restorer has finished.

For best results, it is advisable to use a long-handled Roller Set with a medium pile head. A soft broom or tarmac paintbrush can be used for borders or hard to get to areas, but generally, a Roller Set is best.

Two coats of Tarmac Restorer are recommended. Average coverage ratios are 40-60sq.* metres per 20 Litre drum (60 sq. metres if the tarmac is in good condition but has lost colour and faded over time; 40 sq. metres for poorer quality tarmac surfaces).

Prior to commencing application, thoroughly shake the container. This will ensure the pigment and the slip-enhancing additive within the product are mixed thoroughly and not settled at the bottom of the container.

Leave 2-4 hours between coats and shake the container each time before pouring into tray or roller.

Areas adjacent to neighbours driveways, flower beds or lawns should be masked off to avoid unwanted coverage.

After application, keep vehicles off for 24 hours and foot traffic for 2-4 hours.

Any ongoing maintenance should be restricted to a gentle sweep and a washdown once or twice a year.

The Tarmac RESTORER itself is a very durable product, but as with any other external product, it will require re-application from time to time. For Tarmac Driveways that receive an average amount of traffic, a top-up coat of Tarmac RESTORER is recommended, on average, every 5 years.

For Tarmac Driveways that are more heavily trafficked or are in very shady, damp conditions, more frequent top-up coats may be necessary.
