Sealant manufacturers state that 70 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for sealcoating. They also state that humidity levels should be relatively low and that the fresh sealant should be exposed to several hours of sunshine. Furthermore, there should be no chance of rain for at least the first 24 hours following the application. If you have lived in Central Texas for more than a year, you know that all of these ideal conditions will be not be present on many days. Sealcoating companies are also aware of the scarcity of ideal days, so experienced sealcoating contractors have learned how to deal with the heat and humidity without sacrificing the quality of the work.

As well as direct measurement of gas volumes released, capacity was also calculated relative to the pressure change within the reaction vessel. The free space volume of the vessel was obtained by subtracting the sum volume of methane clathrate hydrate and unreacted water. Taking into account nonideality factors, GASPAK v3.41 software (Horizon Technologies, USA) was employed to calculate the methane enclathration capacity, according to the pressure and the temperature. We assume that the liquid…
