Evergrip Bituminous Marker Adhesive
Evergrip Bituminous Marker Adhesive is a hot melt bituminous adhesive used to permanently bond pavement markers to Portland cement concrete, and asphaltic concrete.
Application
The pavement surface should be dry, cured, and clean. The product should be heated in a temperature-controlled heater/applicator with an agitation system. The adhesive should be dispensed at the desired intervals at an application temperature of 395°F to 415°F (202°C to 213° C). The marker should be pressed into the Evergrip Marker adhesive immediately and allowed to cool for at least one minute before subjecting the marker to traffic. The Evergrip Marker Adhesive should be applied in normal dry working conditions when the ambient temperature is at least 40°F (4°C).
Storage and Handling
The Evergrip product should be stored in the manufacturer's containers in a cool, dry place until ready to use. The product is packaged in 55 lb. (25 kg) fiber cartons with four-way dividers (36 cartons per pallet). It should not be applied to wet or uncured pavement. Asphalt stains can be removed with non-hazardous, bio-degradable cleaners. Waterless hand cleaner should be used to clean skin, following the cleaner manufacturer's instructions carefully.
