※ Construction Requirments

Surface Preparation:

Cleaning: Ensure the surface is free of dirt, dust, oil, grease, and any other contaminants. Use pressure washing or mechanical cleaning methods if necessary.

Drying: The surface must be dry prior to application. Any standing water should be removed to ensure proper adhesion.

Environmental Conditions:

Temperature: Apply emulsified asphalt when temperatures are within the recommended range (typically above 50°F or 10°C) to ensure proper curing.

Humidity: Avoid application during rain or when humidity levels are excessively high, as this can affect the curing process.

Equipment:

Use appropriate application equipment, such as spray units, squeegees, or brushes, depending on the specific application method required.

Ensure all equipment is clean and in good working condition to avoid contamination of the emulsified asphalt.

Mixing:

If necessary, thoroughly mix the emulsified asphalt before application to ensure a uniform consistency. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding mixing ratios if additives are used.

Application Technique:

Apply emulsified asphalt evenly over the prepared surface using the chosen application method.

For optimal results, follow the recommended application thickness, typically specified by the manufacturer or project requirements.

Curing Time:

Allow adequate curing time as specified by the manufacturer. This may vary based on environmental conditions and application thickness.

Avoid exposing the treated surface to heavy traffic or moisture until it has fully cured.

Safety Precautions:

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, and safety goggles, during application.

Ensure proper ventilation in enclosed spaces to minimize exposure to any vapors.

Post-Application Inspection:

After curing, inspect the surface for uniformity and adhesion. Address any defects or areas that require touch-up.

Documentation:

Maintain records of the application process, including environmental conditions, equipment used, and any issues encountered.
