Frequently Asked Questions About Road Coatings
Q: How long do Road Coatings typically last?
A: Our premium Road Coatings have an average service life of 5-8 years, depending on traffic volume and environmental conditions. In moderate climates with average traffic (10,000 vehicles/day), we've seen performance exceeding 7 years in field tests.
Q: Can Road Coatings be applied during rainy seasons?
A: We recommend applying Road Coatings when there's at least 48 hours of dry weather forecasted. The surface must be completely dry during application, and the coating requires 4-6 hours to cure before any moisture exposure. In humid conditions, curing times may extend to 8 hours.
Q: What maintenance is required for Road Coatings after application?
A: Road Coatings require minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to check for any localized wear. Routine cleaning with power washing helps maintain skid resistance. For heavy traffic areas, periodic reapplication of wear layers may be needed after 4-5 years.

Road Coatings - Additional FAQ
Q: Are there special requirements for applying Road Coatings in cold climates?
A: In cold climates, we recommend using our Winter Grade Road Coatings formula which remains flexible at temperatures as low as -30°C. Application should occur when surface temperatures are above 5°C and rising. Special surface preparation including thorough cleaning and de-icing is crucial in cold weather applications.
Q: How soon can traffic resume after Road Coatings application?
A: For pedestrian traffic, waiting 4 hours is typically sufficient. For vehicular traffic, we recommend waiting at least 6 hours in optimal conditions (20-30°C), or up to 12 hours in cooler temperatures (below 15°C). Heavy truck traffic should ideally wait 24 hours for full cure.
Q: Can Road Coatings be used on all types of pavement surfaces?
A: Our Road Coatings are compatible with most asphalt and concrete surfaces. However, we recommend surface testing for highly porous substrates or surfaces with existing coatings. Special formulations are available for porous asphalt and aged concrete surfaces that require enhanced bonding.
