- Method
Tarconite can be applied by spray, rubber-bladed squeegee, brush, or mechanical equipment specifically designed for this purpose. Due to the heavy bodied nature of the slurry-mixed Tarconite, application by means of specialized equipment is recommended. This equipment can be of two types, high volume positive displacement airless spray or mechanical squeegee. Both types must be capable of keeping material thoroughly mixed and homogenous throughout the application process. All equipment used must be capable of supplying a sufficient quantity of material for uniform application over the entire width of the application mechanism to provide a uniformly coated surface.

- Basic Uses
Tarconite extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs of off-street asphalt pavements. Tarconite protects such pavements from the destructive effects of water, sunlight, oxidation, gasoline, motor oil, and many other chemicals and solvents. In addition, Tarconite, when mixed and applied according to manufacturer's recommendations, provides a distinctive new-looking surface that is skid resistant, long-lasting and easy to clean.
- Composition
Tarconite is a concentrated, high solids, mineral colloid stabilized, refined coal tar emulsion. The performance and bonding of Tarconite to the pavement is greatly enhanced by surfactant ingredients.
