The process is typically a two-coat application which requires 24 to 48 hours of curing before vehicles can be allowed back on the surface. Once the surface is properly prepared, then properly mixed sealer will be applied at about 1.5 square meters per liter (60 sq ft per U.S. gal; 72 sq ft per Imp gal) per coat.
Otta seal is formed by adding graded aggregate to a soft bituminous binding agent. The agent is usually emulsified asphalt.Bituminous binder application rates are between 1.9 liter/m 2 (0.42 US gallon/yard 2) and 2.4 liter/m 2 (0.53 US gallon/yard 2) – the value is dependent on aggregate gradation and type.
Bituminous waterproofing systems are designed to protect residential and commercial buildings. Bitumen (asphalt or coal-tar pitch) is a material made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky, viscous , and waterproof. [ 1 ]
A tack cloth made of gauze impregnated with a tacky material. Tack cloth (tack rag; tac cloth) is a specialized type of wiping cloth that is treated with a tacky material.It is designed to remove loose particles of dust, dirt and lint that would contaminate a surface that is to be painted, coated, laminated, photo-etched, or otherwise finished.
2. Making clean cuts along the sides of prospective patch area to assure that vertical sides of the repair are in sound pavement (Eaton, et al., [4] recommend a bituminous tack coat in the open cavity, prior to placement of patch material.) 3. Placing the hot or cold patch mix material 4.
Bituminous surface treatment (BST) or chipseal is used mainly on low-traffic roads, but also as a sealing coat to rejuvenate an asphalt concrete pavement. It generally consists of aggregate spread over a sprayed-on asphalt emulsion or cut-back asphalt cement.

Mastic asphalt is a type of asphalt that differs from dense graded asphalt (asphalt concrete) in that it has a higher bitumen content, usually around 7–10% of the whole aggregate mix, as opposed to rolled asphalt concrete, which has only around 5% asphalt. This thermoplastic substance is widely used in the building industry for waterproofing ...
