Neyra Force®

2. MANUFACTURER

Neyra Industries, Inc.

10700 Evendale Drive Cincinnati, Ohio 45241

Limitations:

In the liquid state, Neyra Force must be protected from freezing. Do not store where temperature exceeds 120°F.

4. INSTALLATION

Preparatory Work:

The aspha l t sur face must be structurally sound, surface cured and free from all loose or foreign matter prior to the application of Neyra Force.

Methods:

Neyra Force can be applied by spray, squeegee, brush or mechanical equipment designed for this purpose.

Due to the heavy body of the Neyra Force slurry mix, application by means of specialized equipment is recommended.

This equipment can be of two types, high volume positive displacement airless spray or mechanical squeegee. Both types must be capable of keeping material thoroughly mixed and homogenous throughout the application process.

All equipment used must be capable of supplying a sufficient quantity of material for uniform application over the entire width of the application mechanism to provide a uniformly coated surface.

Mix Design:

Neyra Force is a highly concentrated material intended to be to be mixed with water and mineral aggregate to form a ready to use pavement sealer.

Do not over dilute.

3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Neyra Force is a petroleum resin emulsion specifically formulated as a weather protective, water resistant coating for all asphalt surfaces.

Packaging:

Bulk shipments made in tank trucks.

Color:

In the liquid state, Neyra Force is a reddish brown emulsion. When dry, Neyra Force is a deep black coating.

Basic Uses:

Neyra Force extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs of asphalt pavements, protecting them from the destructive effects of water, sunlight and oxidation. When mixed and applied according to manufacturer’s recommendations, Neyra Force provides a new looking, long lasting surface that is easy to clean.

Composition:

Neyra Force is a concentrated, mineral colloid stabilized emulsion fortified with our proprietary blend of high molecular weight polymer and petroleum resins. This binder base is emulsified in our high temperature, high shear, state-of-the art manufacturing process. The superior fusion of the quality raw materials creates a homogeneous coating capable of high sand loads, providing an exceptionally tough, long lasting, skid resistant surface.

• Superior Bond: Neyra Force is chemically reinforced to enhance the adhesion to the asphalt pavement, rejuvenating the surface and preventing raveling.

• Tough & Durable: Contains proprietary high molecular weight petroleum resin which creates tough and long lasting protection.

• Protect & Beautify: Neyra Force forms a tight seal creating an impenetrable barrier that protects against the destructive effects of sun, water & chemicals, giving your pavement a deep black color and making it easier to clean.

• Environmentally Friendly: Neyra Force is a low VOC, non-flammable coating that emits no obnoxious odors or fumes and contains no coal tar.

All sand used should be clean, dry, pure silica sand, free of contaminants.

Medium fine sand with an A.F.S. rating of 50 to 70 gives best results. There should be no more than 2% retained on 30 mesh or coarser, no more than 10% retained on 140 mesh and no more than 0.3% retained on 200 mesh.

Application:

For use over sound asphalt pavement, the following application procedures are recommended for best results:

Use only Neyra additives specifically designed for Neyra Force. Do not use other additives. They are not chemically compatible with Neyra Force and will degrade the emulsion.

One gallon of concentrate will cover 90 square feet per coat. Multiply square yards of surface x 0.1 to determine gallons of concentrate per coat.

Product Data 106-15

Coverage rates can vary with the application method and the age, texture, and porosity of the pavement to be sealed. For low to moderate traffic areas, we recommend applying two full sand slurry coats. For high traffic areas, a third coat is advised. For highly oxidized surfaces, a primer, Polyprime (Product Data Sheet 155) is recommended. Each coat must be dry before additional applications. On a typical parking lot, a combination of application systems could be used. For example, two coats for the parking stalls and a third for the drive lanes where most of the wear occurs.

Application must be made when ambient temperatures and pavement temperatures are above 50°F. Good drying conditions above 50°F are required during the subsequent 8 hours and no temperatures below 50°F should be anticipated for 48 hours. Night time application is not recommended.

It is recommended that the area over which the application is made be opened to use only after trial shows it to be sufficiently dried to accept regular traffic. Lower temperatures, high humidity, clouds or shade and lack of air movement slow drying time.

Precautions:

Do not apply Neyra Force over sealers which contain gilsonite. Neyra Force is not recommended for use on portland cement concrete.

Keep out of reach of children.

Container should be closed when not in use. Contains petroleum distillates. Avoid breathing vapor or prolonged contact with skin or eyes. Flush immediately with water.

New asphalt should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 30 days prior to application and must not exhibit ribboning, crawling, nor show oil rings when 1 gal. of clean water is poured onto the surface.

Protect wet Neyra Force at all times from freezing and rain.

Consult specific Neyra material safety data sheet before use.

5. MAINTENANCE

As a rule, a clean, well marked parking lot is safer and will last longer.

Occasional flushing with water or the use of a contract cleaning service will help to retain an attractive appearance.

Thermoflex contains extremely durable, high temperature resistant elastomeric compounds.

Limitations:

Do not overheat material. Do not apply to wet or dirty cracks. Not recommended for cracks over 1" wide.

Do not store in direct sunlight or where temperature exceeds 120°F.

4. INSTALLATION

Preparatory Work:

Crack or joint must be properly pre-pared prior to installation of Thermoflex by means of routing and/or the use of a hot compressed air jet to remove all incompressibles and assure the sidewalls of crack are clean and dry.

Methods:

Thermoflex should be heated in a ves-sel designed for heating hot pour crack sealants. Some means of agitation and monitoring of temperature are recom-mended. The range of safe heating tem-perature for the product is between 350-400°F. Overheating Thermoflex beyond this recommended range can degrade the material and create a fire hazard. Thermoflex is suitable for use in a direct fire melter or an oil-jacketed double boiler. It is also an excellent product for use through pumping type kettles.

Precautions:

Extreme care must be taken with hot applied sealants. A long sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves and face protection must be worn. Severe burn hazard.

Keep out of reach of children. Consult specific Neyra material safety data sheet before use.
