Description

Our premium BIG A Tack Kote is available in a 55 gallon barrel and can also be purchased in larger containers if needed. This product is designed for priming pavement when installing new overlay asphalt and offers excellent adhesion for coatings. It also works great if your repairing potholes and alligator asphalt. This is an asphalt emulsion designed for priming oxidized surfaces and patchwork.

When applying our Alligator Asphalt Sealer, thoroughly clean the cracked surface before applying the Tack Cote and allowing it be dry to a tacky surface before applying the alligator repair system.

This product can also be used as a surface primer for coatings, when used as a primer for coatings, dilute 5 gallons Tack Cote with 30 gallons water.

The BIGA Tack Kote is great as a primer for hot mix or cold mix patching apply undiluted.

Application:
Stir well at a low speed or by hand after opening. Always add water to tack NOT tack to water. Adding tack to water may cause asphalt to separate or break.

Dilution:
Dilutions come as ratios, for example 4:1. What this means is for every 4 parts of one thing, you add 1 part of the other, equaling a total of 5 parts. Breaking this down to measurable units, let's say each part is 1 gallon. So, for a ratio of 4:1, you would add 1 gallon of tack to a five gallon bucket, then add 4 gallons of water. (4:1) giving you a total of 5 gallons of material.

  • Primer for Sealcoating: 5-6 parts water to 1 part tack for newer asphalt; 3-4 parts water to 1 part tack for older asphalt
  • Primer for Alligator Patch: 2 parts water to 1 part tack
  • Primer for Hot or Cold Mix Patching: Use as is
  • Absolute Max Dilution: 6 parts water to 1 part tack

As a bottom coat or Primer, the tack will be ready for the next layer when it has become tacky and does not leave residue on your finger when touching. Actual dry times will vary depending on ambient temperature, humidity, wind conditions and the ratio mixed. The less water added the faster (Tack Kote) will dry. This can be as little as 10 minutes up to 1 hour.

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.
