TARCO MZANSI · RESIN MODIFIED SEALCOAT
Tarco Resin Modified Sealcoat
(Tarco-RMS)
Premium surface preservation for South African pavements — a deep, uniform black finish and a tougher, fibre-bonded protective layer at a fraction of the cost of resurfacing.
PREMIUM SURFACE PRESERVATION
Premium Surface Preservation
for South African Pavements
Tarco Resin Modified Sealcoat (Tarco-RMS) is a high-performance protective coating engineered for asphalt and tarred surfaces. It shields pavements from UV oxidation, water ingress, oils, chemicals, and traffic wear while restoring a deep, uniform black appearance and extending service life at a fraction of the cost of full resurfacing or overlay.
Unlike conventional sealcoats, Tarco-RMS incorporates specially formulated resins that are shear mixed into the emulsion. This process creates strong fibre bonds throughout the applied surface matrix, producing a tougher, more cohesive, and more flexible protective layer that resists raveling, fretting, and surface deterioration.

KEY FEATURES
Engineered for Lasting Protection
Shear-Mixed Resin Technology
Specially formulated resins are intensively shear mixed to form interlocking fibre bonds within the surface matrix. This enhances cohesion, shear strength, and durability under traffic and thermal stress.
Strong Fibre-Bonded Surface Matrix
The resulting matrix delivers improved resistance to abrasion, weathering, and micro-cracking compared with standard asphalt emulsions.
Deep Black Restorative Finish
Renews oxidised, greyed surfaces and improves aesthetics while protecting the underlying binder.
Protection Against South African Conditions
Formulated to handle high UV exposure, intense heat (common in Gauteng), and typical traffic loads on estates, parking areas, roads, and commercial sites.
Certified Performance
Agrément (CSIR) certified materials, with full compliance to relevant SANS standards and SANRAL approval pathways where applicable.
BENEFITS
Protect, Preserve & Save
- Extends pavement life — Slows oxidation and binder loss, reduces water penetration that leads to potholes, and helps preserve structural integrity. Regular application supports multi-year life extension (typically aligned with 3–5 year maintenance cycles depending on traffic and exposure).
- Cost-effective preservation — Delivers significant savings versus mill-and-overlay or full reconstruction. Indicative seal coating treatments in South Africa commonly range from lower-cost fog/rejuvenator styles upward to slurry-type systems; Tarco-RMS provides enhanced performance within this preservation category.
- Improved surface integrity — The fibre-bonded matrix resists wear, stone loss, and fretting while maintaining a more uniform and skid-resistant surface.
- Weather and chemical resistance — Shields against UV, rain, oil/fuel spills, and temperature cycling.
- Ready for traffic — Professional application allows controlled return to service (typically light pedestrian use after several hours and vehicle traffic after 24–48 hours under suitable conditions).
HOW IT WORKS
A Tougher, Fibre-Bonded Layer
Asphalt oxidises and becomes brittle when the binder is exposed to UV, oxygen, and moisture. Tarco-RMS is applied as a protective emulsion that forms a durable surface layer. The shear-mixed resins generate strong fibre bonds in the matrix, improving tensile and shear properties so the coating stays intact longer under traffic and environmental stress.
Proper surface preparation (cleaning, crack repair, and ensuring the pavement is sound) is essential for adhesion and long-term performance.

SUITABLE APPLICATIONS
Where Tarco-RMS Works Best
- Residential driveways and estate roads
- Commercial and retail parking areas
- Light industrial yards and access roads
- Surfaces showing early oxidation, minor fretting, or colour fade but remaining structurally sound
Not a structural repair product — cracks, base failures, and major defects should be addressed before application.
APPLICATION NOTES (TYPICAL)
Applied the Right Way
- Surface must be clean, dry, and free of oil, debris, and loose material.
- Apply in suitable weather (generally 10 °C and rising, no imminent rain).
- Professional equipment and crew recommended for consistent film build and coverage.
- Allow adequate cure before traffic.
