@ 15 MILS. GENERAL INFORMATION The following information has been provided as a general guideline for the use and disposal of Aexcel traffic marking paints. It is also very beneficial to run a small test in a non-critical area in order to ensure the surface preparation, weather conditions, equipment and product are suitable and working properly. SURFACE PREPERATION 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. WEATHER CONDITIONS AND APPLICATION Air temperature, surface temperature, humidity and 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 solvent-borne coatings should not be applied at temperatures below 50 F and/or less than 6 hours before any expected precipitation. Evening and night applications should be avoided whenever possible due to the cooler temperature. At lower temperatures or when humidity is extremely high, a significant amount of extra time will be needed for the paints to dry. EQUIPMENT 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. 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 the equipment manufacturer. PAINT SELECTION AND SAFETY These coatings, as are all solvent-based products are extremely flamable. Do not smoke or weld while working with these paints. Empty containers that held these products will also contain residual vapors and should be handled in the same manner as those that are full. Use only paint recommended or specified for each application. Shelter the containers when possible and avoid prolonged outside storage. Agitation of the paints by stirring or shaking should be performed to ensure uniform consistency, application and performance. When storing partially filled containers, a small amount of solvent may be added and allowed to stand on top in order to avoid "skinning". Always be sure the containers are sealed tightly during transportation or storing in order to avoid spilling, risk of fire and solvent evaporation. Keep paints away from heat and flame. Consult the MSDS sheets and/or labels for further safety, personal protection, first-aid and spill or leak procedures. WASTE DISPOSAL Comply with all regulations regarding handling, storage, and disposal of all hazardous materials and waste. Consult local agencies or disposal companies for individual instructions and requirements. IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF PAINT AND THEIR RELATED MATERIALS IS ILLEGAL AND MAY RESULT IN LARGE FINES. Please comply to all regulations and minimize waste whenever possible.
