Description
PROMAR ALKYD ZONE MARKING PAINT is a fast-drying, medium oil alkyd in two colors, white and yellow, conforming to U.S. Bureau of Public Roads colors.
Material Use:
ProMar® Alkyd Fast Dry Zone Marking Paint is a solvent-based, fast-drying, medium oil alkyd paint designed for high-visibility traffic and zone marking. It is primarily used for striping and marking on cured asphalt, concrete, and brick surfaces. This product is ideal for use in parking lots, curbs, runways, airfields, highways, and other paved areas requiring durable and visible markings.
System Components:
This is a single-component system that does not require a primer or topcoat. It is ready to use and can be applied directly to properly prepared cured asphalt, concrete, or brick surfaces. For reflective markings, glass beads can be broadcast onto the wet paint surface to enhance visibility.
Applications:
ProMar® Alkyd Fast Dry Zone Marking Paint is recommended for use in a wide range of commercial, municipal, and industrial settings, including:
- Apartment communities
- Shopping centers
- Schools and universities
- Municipal and state Department of Transportation (DOT) projects
- Property maintenance
- Pavement striping contractors
- Airfields and highways
Application Details:
- Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry, and sound. Remove oil, dust, grease, dirt, and any loose material. New concrete should be free of sealers or efflorescence, which may require etching or abrasive blasting. New asphalt should be aged for several months before application to prevent lifting or bleeding.
- Application Methods: Can be applied using airless or conventional spray line stripers, brush, or roller. Recommended spray tip size is 0.015–0.017 inches with 1800–2700 psi pressure for airless spray. Use natural bristle brushes or 3/8" solvent-resistant rollers.
- Film Thickness: Apply at 15.0 wet mils to achieve 7.5–7.9 dry mils.
- Coverage: Approximately 350 lineal feet of standard 4-inch stripe per gallon, or 107 sq. ft. per gallon. Theoretical coverage is 802–850 sq. ft. per gallon.
- Dry Time (at 77°F / 25°C, 50% RH):
- Dry-no-pickup: 15 minutes
- Dry to touch: 15 minutes
- Pot Life: Not applicable (single-component, ready-to-use product)
- Curing Time: Fast-drying; full cure typically achieved within 15–30 minutes under ideal conditions.
- Temperature & Humidity Limits:
- Minimum application temperature: 40°F (4.5°C)
- Maximum application temperature: 110°F (43°C)
- Maximum relative humidity: 85%
- Surface temperature must be at least 5°F above dew point
- VOC Content:
- White: 384 g/L (3.20 lb/gal)
- Yellow: 359 g/L (2.99 lb/gal)
- UV Resistance: Not specified; however, alkyd paints generally offer moderate UV resistance but may yellow over time.
- Reflectivity:
- White: Minimum reflectance of 80
- Yellow: Minimum reflectance of 62
- Special Application Notes:
- Do not apply on uncured asphalt.
- For new asphalt, apply a test stripe to check for lifting or bleeding.
- If painting fresh asphalt is necessary, limit application to 8 wet mils (approx. 200 sq. ft./gal).
- Excessive film build can cause lifting or cracking.
- Not intended for large pedestrian areas due to potential slipperiness when wet.
- Can be used with stencils and glass beads for reflective markings.
Special Notes:
- This product is not compliant with VOC regulations in certain U.S. regions (OTC, SCAQMD, CARB) during specific times of the year. In Canada, VOC limits are restricted to 150 g/L from May 1 to October 15.
- Store indoors between 40°F (4.5°C) and 100°F (38°C). Shelf life is 12 months unopened.
- Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with VM&P Naphtha or compliant solvent.
- Rags and waste soaked with this product may spontaneously combust; dispose of properly in a sealed, water-filled metal container.
This product is a reliable, fast-drying solution for professional striping and zone marking applications, offering excellent visibility and durability when applied under the recommended conditions.
