ASPHALT

ASPHALT SURFACES

(TRAFFIC/ZONE MARKING FOR DRIVE AND PARKING AREAS, GAME LINES, ETC.)

Asphalt pavement is made from mixing an aggregate with the distillation residues of either petroleum or coal tar hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon solvents can dissolve some of the asphalt binder and cause bleeding on the surface of a conventional alkyd paints - particularly when the paint is applied by brush or roller. Spray application with a quick drying product tends to eliminate bleeding.

ALKYD ZONE / TRAFFIC MARKING

This system is for zone and traffic line marking on interior asphalt parking or walking surfaces. The system is available in standard yellow and white marking colors. It can also be ordered in red, blue and black. The system is fast drying and can be sprayed over stencils.

CONCRETE AND MASONRY

CONCRETE HORIZONTAL SURFACES

(DECKS AND STAIRS, PARKING AREAS AND DRIVEWAYS, GAME LINES, ETC.)

Concrete is a mixture of sand and/or gravel aggregates in a binder of Portland cement and water. The Portland cement and water undergo a chemical reaction called hydration. There are several types of concrete with differing properties that result from variations of aggregate blend and binder ratio. Exterior concrete that is at-grade or below-grade can present painting problems. Unless there is an adequate moisture barrier under the slab, water intrusion can lead to paint failure. Latex coatings have better permeability and are consequently better than other less permeable coatings, but even latex coatings are prone to failure if the moisture ingress is excessive. If the concrete does not have an adequate moisture barrier, a membrane coating should not be applied.

LATEX FLOOR PAINT

Latex floor enamel is effective on low to moderate traffic surfaces in residential and light commercial areas.

ACRYLIC DECK COATING

Acrylic deck coating is effective on low to moderate traffic surfaces in residential and light commercial areas. The system includes a non-skid texture coat as a base.
