Priming

printable version

Priming consists of spraying a primer onto the compacted gravel or crushed rock base. This is carried out to prepare the surface for the subsequent seal coat and to assist in waterproofing the pavement.

 

AMC00H / AMC00

Asphalt Sprayer

AMC00H is a specially formulated cutback bitumen primer designed for efficient spraying and good adhesion to prepared bases and stone. AMC00H is formulated to be non-hazardous, utilising Mexcut H as a cutter, and is not classified as a dangerous good.

 

AMC00 is a specially formulated cutback bitumen primer designed for efficient spraying and good adhesion to prepared bases and stone. AMC00 is formulated with standard cutter, Mexcut L.

 

AMC00H and AMC00 are designed for application on low porosity surfaces to facilitate optimum penetration of the primer into the substrate. Suitable application rates range from 0.5 to 1.0 L/m2.

  • Application Temperature: 10 to 30 degrees C
  • Short Term Maximum Temperature: 60 degrees C
  • Long Term Storage Temperature: Ambient
  • Maximum Safe Temperature: 80 degrees C

AMC1H / AMC1

Bitumen Tanker

AMC1H is a specially formulated cutback bitumen primer designed for efficient spraying and good adhesion to prepared bases and stone. AMC1H is formulated to be non-hazardous, utilising Mexcut H as cutter and is not classified as dangerous good.

 

AMC1 is a specially formulated cutback bitumen primer designed for efficient spraying and good adhesion to prepared bases and stone. AMC1 is formulated utilising Mexcut L as cutter.

 

AMC1H and AMC1 are designed for application on highly porous surfaces to improve the integrity of a loosely bonded substrate surface. The increased viscosity of AMC1H and AMC1 resists total penetration into the road and helps bond loose material hence strengthening the surface. Suitable application rates range from 0.7 to 1.2 L/m2.

  • Application Temperature: 60 to 80 degrees C
  • Short Term Maximum Temperature: 60 degrees C
  • Long Term Storage Temperature: Ambient
  • Maximum Safe Temperature: 80 degrees C
