PRODUCT DESCRIPTION & BENEFITS

SealMaster Liquid Thermoplastic Traffic Marking Paint is a highperformance, highly durable Waterborne traffic marking material. Unique patented cross linking technology provides durability normally associated with Hot-melt Thermoplastics and epoxies. SealMaster Liquid Thermoplastic meets and exceeds the performance requirements of Federal Specification TTP-1952E, TTP- 1952F Type III. SealMaster Liquid Thermoplastic can be applied with conventional spray equipment (with stainless steel components) to asphalt, concrete, or existing road markings that are adhering well to the pavement surface. Features include:

• Unique crosslinking chemistry

• Can use existing spray equipment (with stainless steel components)

• Safety, no heating required as with hot melt thermoplastics.

• Single component system, no need to blend as with epoxy systems.

• Can be used over cement or asphalt surfaces.

• Meets and exceeds TT-P-1952 E, TT-P-1952 F Type III specifications.

USES

Highways, roads, streets, intersections, legends and cross walks. Also ideal for highly durable parking lot markings.

COMPOSITION

100% acrylic emulsion cross-linking resins, specialty pigments, surfactants, and fillers.

INSTALLATION

Asphalt and concrete pavement surfaces shall be clean and free from all loose materials and dirt. New asphalt surfaces should cure sufficiently to be free of light oils on the surface (4 weeks). Allow freshly applied pavement sealer to cure for at least 24 hours prior to applying traffic paint.

METHODS

Apply SealMaster Liquid Thermoplastic Traffic Marking Paint with spray equipment (with stainless steel components).

Recommendations for Airless Spray Line Striper:

Pressure - 2,000-2,500 PSI Tip - .021 - .025 Filter - 60 mesh

MIXING PROCEDURES

Stir well and strain before using. Use as is. Do not dilute.

APPLICATION

For maximum durability apply at a wet film thickness of 30- 35 mils (155-180 ft. of 4-inch line per gallon). When applying at 30-35 wet mils, it is recommended that a larger particle size glass bead be used for optimum retroflectance and wet night visibility. A bead drop rate of approximately 7 lbs./gal. of paint for a 4-inch line and 30-35 mil thickness is a suitable range which can be fine tuned for optimum performance. The dry-to-no-pickup time for a 30-35 mil thickness application is typically 5 minutes or less depending on conditions. Liquid Thermoplastic can be applied with standard airless spray equipment with stainless steel components.

COVERAGE

155-180 ft. of 4-inch line per gallon at 30-35 mils wet filmthickness.

PRECAUTIONS

Both surface and ambient temperature shall be a minimum of 50° F. Temperature shall not drop below 50°F within a 24 hour period following application. Keep out of reach of children. Do not store unopened containers in freezing temperatures.

PACKAGING AND AVAILABILITY

SealMaster Liquid Thermoplastic Traffic Marking Paint is available in 5-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums. Liquid Thermoplastic Traffic Marking Paint is supported by a national network of SealMaster manufacturing facilities along with a national network of qualified applicators.
