How Long Does Tarmac Take to Dry?

 Pavement is in high demand now that spring has arrived. How long does tarmac dry with all that traffic? It's a common query. Just how long does tarmac take to dry following installation or resurfacing?


Dry vs Cure


Many people believe “dry” implies “cured” when referring to tarmac. Because a contractor says their work will dry in three days, you may decide against hiring them to lay your new asphalt driveway instead. Wait this long before driving across the surface. So your driveway isn't done in three days!

Making a DIY paving job is a typical error. For the driveway to dry out, you know that tarmac takes two days or more. Drying the tarmac correctly takes five days.

Hot Pavement

If you reside in Dubai, where the temperature is always over 32 degrees, you can speed up the curing process by a lot. During warmer weather, the tarmac can quickly set. Due of the heat required to set pavement, temperatures below 15°C will cause delays.

Cold Weather Pavement

It takes longer to cure tarmac in cold climates like Scotland when it is continuously below 15 degrees.

For business applications, this means an increased risk of damage as the heating element cannot perform in cooler temperatures.

Wet Tarmac

For example, water is required to set hard materials such as pavements and roads, therefore if it has been raining, the tarmac would take longer. Potholes can occur if there is excessive moisture during the curing process.
