This guide is for homeowners and property managers looking to protect and enhance the appearance of tarmac driveways and similar surfaces. Ronseal Thompson's Drive Seal offers a durable, high-performance acrylic coating that revitalizes tired surfaces with a deep black finish, providing long-lasting protection against the elements. A key benefit is its ability to seal and protect, extending the life of your driveway. However, proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion and longevity.

Drying times can vary. Typically, the surface is dry to touch in 2-4 hours. However, it requires a full 24-48 hours to cure properly before heavy use or exposure to rain. Always check the product can for the most accurate drying information.
This product is specifically formulated for tarmac and asphalt. It may not perform optimally or adhere correctly to concrete or block paving. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if considering use on alternative surfaces.
The durability of the seal depends on factors like traffic, weather, and initial application quality. Generally, reapplication may be needed every 2-3 years to maintain protection and appearance.
Coverage varies based on the porosity of the tarmac. A general guideline is approximately 5-10 square metres per litre per coat. The 10-litre container should cover a substantial driveway area, but refer to the product packaging for precise coverage estimates.
It is best to apply when temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid application during frost, heavy rain, or high humidity, as this can compromise the finish and adhesion.
Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with water. Once the product has dried, it becomes much more difficult to remove.
Ensure the tarmac was thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before application. Remove all oil, grease, and loose debris. Reapply after proper surface preparation.
This can result from inconsistent application or not maintaining a wet edge. Apply in manageable sections and ensure even coats. If the problem is minor, a third, thin coat may help blend it.
This usually indicates over-application or application in temperatures that are too low or too high. Allow more time to cure in appropriate conditions. If necessary, a very light sprinkle of dry sand can sometimes help absorb tackiness once the surface is dry to the touch.
Likely due to inadequate surface preparation or application on a damp surface. The affected area will need to be removed, and the surface re-prepared and resealed.
Surface Preparation: This is the most critical step for effective performance. Ensure the tarmac surface is completely clean, dry, and free from loose chippings, moss, or oil stains. Use a stiff brush or a pressure washer for cleaning. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly, which may take 24-48 hours depending on conditions.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for tarmac and asphalt surfaces. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with other surfaces.
Application: Apply using a roller or a brush. Work in manageable sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Apply evenly and avoid over-application. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal protection and colour depth. Allow the first coat to dry completely (usually 2-4 hours) before applying the second.
Care: Once cured, the sealed surface can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Regularly inspect the surface for any signs of wear and reapply as needed, typically every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure.
