IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive
Faster Curing, Tougher Finish, Deeper Black Sealcoat Performance
IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive is a professional-grade copolymer emulsion designed to enhance asphalt emulsion sealers for demanding pavement conditions. Formulated to improve curing speed, durability, and adhesion, IRON ROAD helps contractors deliver a tougher, longer-lasting sealcoat with a deeper black appearance—especially in high-traffic areas where performance matters most.
Whether you’re sealing residential driveways or commercial parking lots, this additive upgrades standard sealer into a more resilient system built to handle real-world wear.
• Primary benefit: Faster drying and tougher cured sealcoat with improved adhesion and tenacity
• Ease of use: Blends easily into standard asphalt emulsion sealers during normal mixing
• USA-specific advantage: Performs reliably through Midwest freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and fuel exposure
• Cost and time savings: Faster cure times reduce downtime and help reopen lots sooner
• Professional results: Richer black finish with better aggregate suspension and resistance to oils and chemicals
How to Use IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive
Ensure the pavement surface is dry, clean, and free of loose debris, dirt, dust, oil, or contaminants.
Pour asphalt emulsion sealer into your mechanical spray or squeegee machine first.
Add the proper amount of water per your mix design and begin agitation.
Slowly add IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive while mixing to achieve a uniform consistency.
Add optional aggregates such as silica sand or other specified materials and mix thoroughly before application.
Apply sealer using standard spray or squeegee methods.
Using IRON ROAD is like adding reinforcement to concrete—it strengthens what you’re already using without changing your entire process.
Recommended Mix Design (Typical)
For 100 gallons of asphalt emulsion sealer:
• Water: 25 gallons
• Aggregates: 100–500 lbs (based on specification)
• IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive: 1–2 gallons typical

FAQ
What does IRON ROAD do differently than standard additives?
IRON ROAD improves cure time, toughness, adhesion, and aggregate suspension while also delivering a deeper black finish and better resistance to fuels and chemicals in AE sealcoat material.
Is this suitable for residential and commercial jobs?
Yes. Contractors use IRON ROAD on everything from residential driveways to high-traffic commercial parking lots and access lanes.
How much additive should I use?
Most applications use 1–2 gallons per 100 gallons of sealer. High-traffic or specification-driven jobs may require up to 3 gallons.
Does it work in different climates?
Yes. IRON ROAD is designed for use across the continental U.S., performing in both hot summer conditions and cooler climates where faster curing , and toughness is critical.
Can I use this with my existing sealer and equipment?
Yes. IRON ROAD is designed to modify standard asphalt emulsion sealers and integrates easily into existing mixing and application systems. Works great to assist with curing for night work, as with any sealer additives , test in your brand asphalt sealer prior to adding to a full tank. Works great with Safe Seal commercial grade asphalt sealants and other non coal tar sealants. Iron Road has not been tested with coal tar sealants , test prior to use.
Why This Works Anywhere in the USA
From fuel drips in retail parking lots to freeze-thaw stress in northern regions, asphalt faces constant abuse. IRON ROAD Seal Coat Additive enhances standard sealers to better handle these challenges, delivering consistent results whether you’re sealing in Michigan, the Midwest, or warmer southern states.
• Commercial parking lots with fuel and oil exposure
• Residential driveways needing faster return-to-service times
• High-traffic lanes and access drives
• Sealcoating projects requiring a deeper black color and added durability
Unlike generic sealcoat additives, IRON ROAD is engineered to deliver multiple performance upgrades in one product—faster curing, stronger adhesion, improved aggregate suspension, and chemical resistance. It complements the Safe Seal product line by offering a practical, value-focused way to increase sealcoat performance without overcomplicating the application process.
