Aexcel Water-Reducible Acrylic Traffic Paint Gallon Red Fast Dry 72RA002

Aexcel Water-Reducible Acrylic Traffic Paint can be applied over new concrete (that has cured for 30 days), asphalt, on airport runways and exhibits excellent color retention. Non-flammable, lead free, and formulated to have less than 150 g/l of VOCs.

Care should be taken to ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free of loose material. A simple leaf blower is typically sufficient to remove gravel and dust in most instances. When applying over previously coated areas, however, take special care to remove any loose or peeling paint. Other surface conditions, such as areas with large amounts of engine oil build up or existing epoxy coatings, may require a power washing procedure or abrading the surface before application of the paint. New concrete and asphalt should be aged for a minimum of 30 days prior to painting. Use caution when striping over a freshly sealed surface. Sealers can affect the adhesion and cure of traffic marking paints. For more information on the surface, please consult with the supplier or applicator of the surface. Air temperature, surface temperature, humidity and the weather conditions following application are extremely important factors in the success of the products. Aexcel formulates these coatings to be applied without further reduction. They can also be used in conjunction with the application of glass beads to improve reflectivity without sacrificing other properties. Protect fresh lines from traffic until thoroughly dry. These, as well as all water-based coatings, should not be applied to surfaces less that 50°F, when the relative humidity is greater than 80% and/or less than 24 hr. before any expected precipitation. Evening and night applications should be avoided whenever possible due to the cooler temperatures. AT LOWER TEMPERATURES OR HIGHER HUMIDITY, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EXTRA TIME WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE PAINT TO DRY. DO NOT APPLY WHEN TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY ARE NEAR OR BELOW THE DEW POINT. Tip size, fluid pressure, atomizing air pressure, paint viscosity and paint temperature are all critical to the appearance, consistency, and performance of the paint. The equipment must be matched to the paint being applied in order to achieve the proper film thickness and coverage. When using a water-based product, the equipment must be made with stainless steel or some other material that will not react with the paint and cause application or storage problems. Typical tip sizes for "airless" machines are .019" - .021", while "air-atomized" machines use .086" - .11" at 60 lbs. pressure. For more information please consult with the equipment manufacturer.
