If a newly laid surface is to be treated, ensure that the surface

has been thoroughly consolidated and compacted.

be thoroughly cleaned off by scraping, and if necessary by
using an alkali-based heavy-duty detergent.

Extends the pavement life

Fosroc Topseal is a two-coat system. Prior to application of

Fosroc Topseal, lightly dampen the surface with water to
break surface tension. Before application the materials
should always be mixed in original packaging using a slow
speed stirrer, to a uniform consistency.

Versatile - cures to a continuous uniform film that remains

flexible over a wide temperature range

Resists surface deterioration and moisture penetration

Description
Fosroc Topseal is a blend of emulsified coal tar and selected
fillers, suitable for application with a squeegee.

Pour Fosroc Topseal direct from the drums in a ribbon

approximately 150mm wide and spread uniformly by pulling
a rubber faced squeegee along the ribbon, thus producing a
new ribbon from the residue left by the trailing edge of the
squeegee.
The process is repeated and the ribbon material is
replenished as necessary.

Standards Compliance

When the first coat is dry and tack free, the second coat is
applied at right angles to the first coat.

Fosroc Topseal complies to the requirements of ASTM

D3320-79 and US Federal specification RP355 e/b.

The newly cured surface dries to a dark grey/brown colour

and will darken to black/charcoal after a few days exposure.
