HOW DO I APPLY BICYCLE LANE COATINGS?

SealMaster offers a top-notch solution for enhancing bicycle safety with their Safe Ride bicycle lane coatings. Specifically engineered for asphalt streets and roads, Safe Ride creates a designated Safe Zone for bicyclists, particularly on high-traffic thoroughfares within city limits. This innovative product is formulated as a 100% Acrylic Self-Crosslinking Polymer Emulsion, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. What sets Safe Ride apart is its incorporation of specifically graded aggregate, providing a textured surface that not only enhances slip-resistance but also bolsters overall durability against wear and tear.

Moreover, Safe Ride meets the stringent requirements outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for both daytime and nighttime chromaticity ratings in its Green color designation. Its ready-to-apply nature simplifies the application process, requiring a minimum of two coats for optimal coverage. For areas experiencing heightened wear and traffic, such as intersections and crosswalks, a third coat is recommended to ensure maximum longevity.

Prior to application, it’s imperative to prepare the surface adequately, ensuring it is free from any oils, grease, loose materials, dirt, or dust. Application methods include spray, brush, or roller, providing flexibility to suit various project needs. However, when utilizing spray application, it’s crucial to adhere to safety protocols and use an OSHA-approved respirator due to the nature of water-based acrylic paints and coatings. Additionally, environmental conditions play a pivotal role in the application process, with a minimum temperature requirement of 50°F during application and for the subsequent 24-hour curing period. Avoiding application during imminent or forecasted rainfall further ensures optimal results.
