Promote Perfect Asphalt Adhesion, Every Time
Speed up your patching, paving, and repair projects with SS-1H Asphalt Tack Coat, the professional-grade adhesion promoter trusted by asphalt contractors across the continental U.S. Whether you’re overlaying a parking lot, filling patches, or sealing blacktop surfaces, SS-1H ensures that new asphalt bonds securely to existing surfaces, saving time and reducing rework.
Key Benefits:
Superior adhesion: Ensures patching, paving, and overlays bond effectively to blacktop (bituminous concrete).
Ready to use: Spray, brush, or squeegee — no dilution required. Compatible with most sprayers.
Fast, professional results: Dries quickly to a black finish, allowing paving or coating operations to proceed without delay.
Continental USA-ready: Ideal for use in climates where freeze-thaw cycles and high-heat asphalt expansion challenge adhesion.
Time and cost savings: Simplifies application, minimizes material waste, and improves overall project ROI.
How to Use SS-1H Tack Coat
Surface Preparation: Remove loose debris, dirt, or dust from the asphalt surface. Ensure the area is dry and free from water.
Application: Apply SS-1H directly via spray, brush, or squeegee. Dilution is not necessary.
Timing: Apply new asphalt patching, overlay, or coating as soon as the tack coat dries. Do not allow extended delays between tack coat drying and asphalt placement.
Temperature Requirements: Do not apply if temperatures are below 55°F within a 24-hour window.
Clean-Up: Since SS-1H is an anionic asphalt emulsion without aggregate, it will not clean with water. Use solvent-based cleaning compatible with your sprayer system.

FAQ
Q1: Can SS-1H be sprayed with any asphalt sprayer?
A1: Most standard asphalt sprayers work. Ensure the system can handle solvent cleaning, as water will not clean the material.
Q2: How soon after application can I place new asphalt?
A2: Apply as soon as the tack coat dries to achieve optimal adhesion.
Q3: What is the coverage per 5-gallon bucket?
A3: Approximately 100 sq. ft. per gallon, so one 5-gallon bucket covers roughly 500 sq. ft.
Q4: Can it be used in cold weather?
A4: Do not apply when temperatures are below 55°F within a 24-hour period to ensure proper bonding.
Q5: Is SS-1H suitable for overlays, patching, and coatings?
A5: Yes, it works for all bituminous concrete surfaces where adhesion is required.
Q6: How does this differ from DIY tack coats or generic emulsions?
A6: SS-1H is contractor-grade, designed to bond reliably to blacktop in professional patching, paving, and overlay projects, with predictable coverage and fast-drying performance.
Why SS-1H Works Across the U.S.
From the freeze-thaw cycles in Michigan to the summer heat in Texas, SS-1H Tack Coat delivers consistent adhesion in diverse climates. Its anionic emulsion penetrates and bonds to asphalt surfaces, providing a strong base for overlays, patching, and coatings. By using SS-1H, crews can reduce material waste, speed up project timelines, and ensure long-term durability — without requiring specialized equipment or complicated prep.
Use Case Scenarios:
Securing new asphalt patches in a municipal parking lot before opening to traffic.
Prepping residential driveways for a fresh overlay in seasonal climates.
Bonding asphalt coatings on playgrounds or school parking lots, ensuring long-lasting adhesion.
SS-1H Tack Coat is the professional choice for contractors seeking efficient, reliable, and cost-effective asphalt adhesion across all areas of the continental United States.
