Description
DEERY 102PL Crack Sealant is a professional-grade material designed for sealing cracks in high foot traffic areas, highways, streets, and parking lots where durability and performance matter. Its moderate viscosity allows the material to flow into cracks effectively while still building a strong, flexible seal that helps prevent moisture infiltration, debris buildup, and further pavement deterioration.
This sealant is suitable for both asphalt and concrete pavements, making it a versatile option for mixed-surface maintenance work.
The material is pre-reacted and requires no on-site blending, reducing prep time and helping crews maintain consistent application results. Once heated to the recommended temperature, DEERY 102PL is ready for immediate use, supporting efficient workflows and reliable performance during busy maintenance seasons.
Designed for contractor use, DEERY 102PL balances flow, adhesion, and flexibility to perform well under traffic loads and changing weather conditions, making it a dependable choice for routine crack sealing and preventative pavement maintenance.
Professional-Grade Crack Sealant for Asphalt and Concrete
DEERY 102PL Crack Sealant is engineered for professional contractors seeking a reliable, long-lasting solution for crack repair in high-traffic pavements. Designed for use in highways, streets, parking lots, and other critical infrastructure, this pre-reacted, hot-applied sealant provides a strong, flexible barrier against moisture infiltration, debris accumulation, and further pavement deterioration. Its moderate viscosity allows it to flow into cracks efficiently while maintaining a durable seal that withstands traffic and environmental stressors.
Suitable for both asphalt and concrete surfaces, DEERY 102PL offers the versatility contractors need when working on mixed-surface maintenance projects. The pre-reacted formulation eliminates the need for on-site blending, reducing preparation time and allowing crews to achieve consistent, reliable results across multiple applications. Once heated to the recommended minimum application temperature, the material is ready for immediate use, supporting efficient workflows during busy maintenance seasons.
Exceptional Performance and Durability
DEERY 102PL’s elastically modified composition combines premium asphalt cement, virgin synthetic polymers, and high-quality rubber modifiers. This formulation delivers excellent flexibility and adhesion, even in regions experiencing moderate temperature fluctuations. The sealant maintains its integrity under repeated traffic loads, ensuring long-term performance while accommodating pavement expansion and contraction.
Designed for precision application, the material can be placed using a hand-held pour pot, wheeled push bander, or wand applicator. Excess sealant can be squeegeed tight to the pavement surface for a smooth finish, while optional pavement preheating with a Hot Air Lance ensures optimal adhesion in cooler conditions.
Applications for Professionals
DEERY 102PL is widely used by municipal, commercial, and contractor crews for crack sealing and preventative maintenance on:
- High foot traffic areas, sidewalks, and pedestrian pathways
- Asphalt and concrete highways and streets
- Parking lots and commercial lots requiring flexible, durable crack sealing
- Expansion and contraction joints where controlled depth and flexibility are critical
- Airports, driveways, and other infrastructure exposed to variable temperatures
Properly installed, the material forms a resilient barrier against water penetration, ice damage, and debris accumulation, extending the life of the pavement and reducing future maintenance costs.

Professional Contractor Tips for DEERY 102PL Sealant
Maximizing the performance and longevity of DEERY 102PL Crack Sealant starts with proper handling, heating, and application techniques. Following these contractor-tested tips will help ensure a consistent, professional result on every project:
1. Proper Heating Practices
- Heat the sealant in a hot-oil jacketed melter with constant mechanical agitation.
- Maintain the material at the minimum application temperature of 380 °F (193 °C). Avoid prolonged heating above this range to prevent degradation.
- Use a calibrated thermometer to monitor temperatures throughout the heating process. Overheating may compromise elasticity and adhesion.
2. Pavement Preparation
- Ensure cracks are clean, dry, and free of debris before applying sealant. Compressed air or wire brushes can help remove dirt, vegetation, and loose particles.
- For cooler pavement conditions (40 °F / 4 °C or higher recommended), consider preheating the crack with a hot air lance to improve adhesion.
3. Application Tips
- Use a hand-held pour pot, wheeled push bander, or wand applicator for precise, controlled application.
- Fill cracks to the appropriate depth, ensuring proper contact with the pavement sides while leaving a slight concave surface for sealant tooling.
- Excess material can be squeegeed flush with the pavement surface for a clean, professional finish.
4. Reheating and Reuse
- DEERY 102PL may be cooled and reheated if necessary, but avoid repeated prolonged heating cycles.
- Always drain damaged or overheated material and replace it with fresh product to maintain performance standards.
5. Jobsite Efficiency
- Keep material in meltable packages for fast loading into the melter and reduced handling time.
- Pre-plan crack sealing sequences to optimize workflow, especially on large parking lots or roadway projects.
6. Safety Considerations
- Always wear heat-resistant gloves and protective clothing during heating and application.
- Follow OSHA and GHS safety guidelines included with each pallet of DEERY 102PL.
- Never leave hot material unattended and ensure proper ventilation around the melter.
Following these best practices ensures that DEERY 102PL performs as intended, providing a durable, flexible seal that resists moisture infiltration, traffic stress, and temperature fluctuations. Contractors who adhere to proper heating, application, and handling techniques report longer-lasting seals and improved job efficiency.
