Estimating Sealer Coverage – Strapped and wrapped gilsonite pallets ready to ship

Coverage depends on surface texture and age.

Surface Approx. coverage per coat
Smooth, newer asphalt 0.2–0.3 L/m²
Average aged asphalt 0.3–0.4 L/m²
Rough, porous asphalt 0.4–0.6 L/m²

Always follow the product data sheet.

How to estimate quantity

  1. Measure the area in square metres (length × width).
  2. Choose coverage rate from the table above according to surface condition.
  3. Multiply area × coverage × number of coats.
  4. Add 5–10 % for waste and edges.

Example

A 1,000 m² car park with average aged asphalt, two coats at 0.35 L/m²:

1,000 × 0.35 × 2 = 700 L, plus 10 % = about 770 L.

Factors that increase consumption

  • Very porous or rough surfaces
  • Hot, dry weather causing faster absorption
  • Spray application with overspray

Always check the specific product data sheet and test a small area first.
