Directions For Use
- Heat the material to 180 - 200°C in the pre - heater with adequate agitation till the material becomes a homogenized liquid.
- E nsure that the road surface is clean, free from dust and moisture.
- Heavy deposits of paint require removal.
- For aged asphalt roads and concrete roads application of Apcogrip, a primer coat is recommended for proper bonding of the material with the road surface.
- E nsure that the primer is thoroughly dry and void of solvent prior to application of the thermoplastic material.
- E nsure temperature of 180 – 200°C and adequate agitation during application.
- D o not hold thermoplastic above 180°C for more than 6 hours.
- D o not heat the material above 220°C at any point of time.
- C hange in colour indicates that the material has been scorched owing to overheating and needs to be discarded.
- D rop - on glass beads must be immediately deposited after thermoplastic application
Storage & Packing:
- Storage: A minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry and covered place
