FASTRACK™ 5408-A

• Improved Durability–Exceptional wear properties over various bituminous and concrete road surfaces
• Fast Dry–Fast dry-to-no-pickup and resistance to early rain showers under a wide range of climatic conditions
• Enhanced Retention of Glass Beads–Excellent long-term night visibility
• Environmentally friendly-formulated V.O.C.s from 50-100 grams/liter
• User friendly–non-flammable, water clean-up, can reduce disposal costs, can increase worker safety
• Technology that extends the striping window to include paint application temperatures down to 2°C (and rising).

• FASTRACK™ 5408-A Emulsion can be applied with airless, air-assisted, or conventional air- spray equipment to asphalt, concrete, or existing road markings that are adhering well to the pavement surface.
• Air and surface temperature should be above 2°C and at least 2.5°C above the dew point during application.
• Paints will require longer drying times when the relative humidity exceeds 80% with minimal air flow.

• Performance Advantages:
  • Conventional waterborne films that exhibit enough surface dry to help prevent the paint from being “picked-up” and tracked onto the road by traffic, may not be dry under the surface film.
  • Waterborne traffic paints need to reach a surface dry and "dry-through" stage before they begin to withstand an early rain shower.
• Drying Performance:
  • FASTRACK™ 5408-A Emulsion, like other FASTRACK™ Emulsions, will dry faster to "no pick-up" and "dry-through" than conventional waterborne polymers.
  • The faster dry is particularly evident when the drying conditions are poor (high humidity, low air flow and temperatures).
  • Furthermore, fast "dry-through" characteristics of waterborne traffic markings based on FASTRACK™ 5408-A Emulsion can make them much more resistant to damage from an early rain shower than those based on conventional waterborne polymers.
• Durability:
  • The service life of traffic markings also depends on the marking having good wear properties.
  • In road tests using transverse test lines to accelerate wear, waterborne markings based on FASTRACK™ 5408-A Emulsion have shown excellent durability over both asphalt and concrete road surfaces in a variety of climates.
• Glass Bead Retention:
  • The visibility of traffic markings at night requires retention of the glass beads applied to that marking.
  • Night visibility can be monitored with a retro-reflectometer that measures the low angle reflectance of light off the beaded marking.

Dispose in accordance with all, local or national regulations. Empty containers may contain hazardous residues. This material and its container must be disposed in a safe and legal manner.

Store products in tightly closed original containers at temperatures recommended on the product label.

• Clean-up is accomplished with clean or soapy water to remove wet paint from equipment.
• Stainless steel equipment should be used, and typical paint solvents can assist if removal of dried paint from tools and equipment is necessary.
• All solvents and solventborne paint should be removed from tanks and spray equipment prior to handling waterborne paints to avoid contamination, and equipment should be cleaned after each use.
• An ammonia solution can be floated on the surface of stored paint to prevent skinning.
