    Tack coat rates are typically specified by local standards, often in the range of light uniform coverage rather than heavy film build. Cationic rapid or controlled setting grades are commonly recommended to ensure good adhesion between asphalt layers. The exact rate and grade depend on surface texture, temperature, and paving sequence, and should be validated by field trials.
