TL;DR
Sealcoat application rate is the volume of sealer spread per unit of pavement area, commonly quoted in gallons of mixed material per 100 square feet per coat. Manufacturers typically call for two coats at roughly 0.10 to 0.15 gallons per 100 square feet each, depending on pavement porosity and age.
What it means
Sealcoat application rate is the volume of sealer spread per unit of pavement area, commonly quoted in gallons of mixed material per 100 square feet per coat. Manufacturers typically call for two coats at roughly 0.10 to 0.15 gallons per 100 square feet each, depending on pavement porosity and age. The figure matters because an over-diluted or thin application can look black on day one yet wear off within a season.
