Airport Description
Our BIG A Asphalt Emulsion Driveway Sealer covers in just one coat and lasts for years
Applying professional Grade Driveway Sealer to your Asphalt Driveway every few years will help the asphalt stay pliable and last for many years, assuming you also fill the crack as they occur.
Our Professional Grade Big A Asphalt Driveway Sealer is available in several size containers including our handy 45 gallon size. This asphalt emulsion sealer can be applied with a Brushcoater Broom or Sealcoat Squeegee and can also be sprayed using a Sealcoat Machine. You can expect single coat coverage using our driveway sealer if you apply it with a squeegee or broom.
This is an environmentally friendly Asphalt "Emulsion" Sealer and will not burn you if you accidentally get the sealer on your skin, unlike Coal Tar which will burn your skin. Clean up of our Asphalt Emulsion Driveway Sealer is easy with water.
Several municipalities have begun banning Coal Tar because of environmental concerns and the growing concern over health issues related to the use of Coal Tar sealers. Our professional grade Driveway Sealer is an Asphalt Emulsion and will not harm the environment but delivers outstanding results including anti-slip protection. This sealer dries jet black and will last for several years if applied correctly.
Approximate coverage is 80 - 100 square foot per 1 gallon of sealer if the sealer is applied undiluted. Actual coverage rates will depend on the surface and condition of the asphalt as well as the dilution rate it is applied. The barrel is shipped with 45 gallons of undiluted sealer and needs to be thoroughly mixed before application.
Asphalt Sealcoating Direct will always bring you the best products available in the industry and our Professional grade BIG A Driveway Sealer is just another example of this ongoing effort.
2" Bung Option
The lids do not usually come with a 2" bung. If you know you need a 2" bung, make sure to add it to the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much sand can I add to the Big A Asphalt Emulsion Sealer?
Short Answer: None - Our sealer comes pre-mixed, ready-to-use with 70% of it's makeup being solids. This includes a special ground slate compound already mixed in for abrasives to create a long lasting sealer. We do NOT recommend adding any additional abrasives such as sand to this product as it will alter its intended makeup and consistency. Our slate compound has proven to be a far superior alternative to sand and we have full confidence that you will be very happy with the results of this product.
How much water can I add to the Big A Asphalt Emulsion Sealer?
Short Answer: Upto 5% by volume - Our asphalt emulsion sealer comes pre-mixed as a ready-to-use product with the appropriate amount of water added for maximum performance of the product. You can "dilute" the product by adding upto 5% water by volume but we highly discourage you from adding water or attempting to dilute the product to "make it go further".
I live in the north, where the climate get's pretty cold. Can I still use this product?
Short Answer: Yes - Once applied to pavement, this product will not degrade in colder temperatures. However, unused, this product cannot be frozen or applied in freezing temperatures without damaging the physical makeup of the material.
How long will the Big A asphalt emulsion sealer last?
Short Answer: Approximately 3 - 4 years - Our Big A asphalt emulsion sealer is designed with 70% solids, almost 40% more than your average big-box store sealers. They advertise a 2 year sealer, but in reality, it might last 1 year and if you're lucky, 2. If properly applied, our sealer will last approximately 3 to 4 years in low traffic conditions like a driveway or small business parking lot. To achieve maximum lifespan, this product can NOT be diluted nor have additional sand additives. Also, the pavement must be cleaned of all dust and debris prior to sealing. Failure to comply with these application requirements will greatly reduce the overall lifespan of this product.
Can this product be applied with a sealcoat sprayer? What about a sealcoat brush or squeegee?
Short Answer: Yes - All of the asphalt emulsion and coal tar sealcoat sealers we offer, are designed to be applied with either a sealcoat sprayer or manually with a sealcoat brush or squeegee. Gilsonite sealers can only be applied with a squeegee or mechanical pump.
