Coverage Rates

Q. How far will 1 gallon go?
A. 90-110 s.f.
For a more complete answer to figuring coverage rates, please read on.

Quantities of the material will vary according to porosity and texture of the pavement.
The guideline quantities expressed as the amount of undiluted sealer.

Most specifications will give coverage rates in gallons per square yard.

1st coat - 0.10-0.12 gal/sq.yd.

2nd coat - 0.06-0.08 gal/sq.yd.

Two Coat coverage is 0.16 – 0.20 gal/sq.yd

Example – You measure 32566 square feet in a parking lot.

Convert 32566 s.f. to square yards by diving the square footage by 9.

32566 ÷ 9 = 3618 square yards.

Multiply the yardage (3618) by the coverage rate of the 1st coat (0.1).

3618 x 0.1 = 362 gallons undiluted sealer

Multiply the yardage by the coverage rate of the 2nd coat (0.08)

3618 x 0.08 = 289 gallons of undiluted sealer

Add the 1st coat gallons and the 2nd coat gallons

362 + 289 = 651 gallons that you must buy.

Figure Water by multiplying the gallons sealer times the dilution %.

651 x 0.3 (30%) = 195 gallons water

Figure Sand by multiplying the gallons sealer times the sand/gallon specified.

651 x 2 (2lbs/gallons) = 1300 lbs. Or 13 bags sand.

Total Mix

Sealer	651
Water	195
Sand	65	(1 bag sand is approx. 5 gallons in volume, 13 x 5 = 60)
