Latex-ite Airport Grade+ Driveway Filler Sealer

4.5$42

A commercial-strength, polymer-modified asphalt emulsion that is one of the most widely stocked DIY blacktop sealers. Its thick body fills hairline cracks and restores a deep flat-black look, but it is strictly for asphalt and demands a dry, warm application window.

Henry 532 Driveway Asphalt Resurfacer

4.3$40

A rubber-modified asphalt resurfacer built for worn, textured blacktop. The flexible 7X rubber content and 7-year warranty make it a strong value for aging driveways, though its thick gel takes effort to spread evenly.

Our verdict

Both are heavy-bodied asphalt emulsions that fill hairline cracks and restore black color, so the choice comes down to surface condition and warranty. Latex-ite Airport Grade+ has a slightly thicker, easier-leveling body that suits smoother driveways and hides imperfections in one coat, backed by a 5-year warranty. Henry 532 is more rubber-modified for flexibility on rough, weathered blacktop, adds reduced tracking, and carries a longer 7-year warranty. For an aging, textured driveway in a freeze-thaw region, pick Henry 532; for a smoother surface where finish and ease of spreading matter most, pick the Latex-ite.
