A Liqui Coat improves/enables the bonding of the marking material to the substrate. Therefore the adhesive power of the Liqui Coat must be strong. Basically, this is only possible on dry, fat, oil, dust and damage free surfaces.
We have developed the corresponding Liqui Coats for different surfaces (cobble, concrete, bituminous surfaces), the expected load and the marking materials of choice.
When applying the Liqui Coat, a sufficient wetting of the concrete surface with Liqui Coat for thermowhite is important in order to achieve an optimal bonding of the thermowhite afterwards. The consumption of Liqui Coat depends on the porosity of the concrete and can vary. In individual cases (particularly with old concrete surfaces) the Liqui Coat can have a solidifying effect and will thus improve the carrying capacity of the concrete.
Old markings are detrimental to a good bonding of the subsequently applied thermowhite and need to be removed with appropriate procedures. Roughened concrete surfaces with strong suction, as well as old concrete surfaces require a second layer of Liqui Coat or an appropriately higher quantity of liqui coat in order to achieve proper bonding with the subsequently applied thermowhite. The carrying capacity of the concrete must be checked in any case. Bonding tests / sample coatings should be applied together with the thermowhite to be applied.
Colour – Clear to Translucent.
Characteristics :
- Stabilize the base, by infiltration and fortification of the base
- Insulates the base against humidity and water
- Improved adhesion to all kinds of horizontal road marking to the base (concrete, ashpalt)
