Is KOLD-FLO® affected by freezing temperatures?
[dropdown_box start=”hide” expand_text=”answer” show_more=”show”]YES! Freezing temperatures will destroy KOLD-FLO® during storage or within 24 hours of application.[/dropdown_box]
What size cracks can be filed with KOLD-FLO®?
[dropdown_box start=”hide” expand_text=”answer” show_more=”show”]KOLD-FLO® is designed to penetrate into cracks ranging from 1/4″ to 1″ width and depth. The larger cracks may require a second application due to water evaporating during the curing process. Shrinkage of material in the crack may occur requiring a second application.[/dropdown_box]
Does KOLD-FLO® need to be sanded after application?
[dropdown_box start=”hide” expand_text=”answer” show_more=”show”]NO! KOLD-FLO® will surface cure between 15 minutes to 1/2 hour after application, allowing for quick traffic access. Extreme humidity may prolong curing time. This asphalt crack filler takes at least 8 hours to completely cure. Insufficient curing time (during rain) may re-emulsify KOLD-FLO® causing it to “wash out” of the cracks.[/dropdown_box]
Can KOLD-FLO® be seal coated over?
[dropdown_box start=”hide” expand_text=”answer” show_more=”show”]YES! We recommend crack filling with KOLD-FLO® and allowing it to cure for 24 hours before seal coating over. Smaller cracks filled with KOLD-FLO® may be sealed over earlier, once KOLD-FLO® has cured.[/dropdown_box]
What is the shelf life of KOLD-FLO®?
[dropdown_box start=”hide” expand_text=”answer” show_more=”show”]KOLD-FLO® asphalt crack filler lasts 6 months minimum when stored properly.[/dropdown_box]
