Crafco HOT-APPLIED BITUMINOUS MARKER ADHESIVE

Crafco Hot-Applied Bituminous Marker Adhesive is a hot-applied adhesive which, when properly applied, bonds markers and reflectors to both asphalt and concrete pavement surfaces. The adhesive is supplied as an easy to use single component material which is easily melted and poured or pumped onto pavement surfaces. Since it is a hot melt composition, the adhesive sets up on cooling and is ready for traffic in less than 5 minutes. Heating can be performed in either directly or indirectly heated melting units. The adhesive contains no rubber polymers which can degrade at application temperature. Hot-Applied Bituminous Marker Adhesive has been a quality Crafco product for over 20 years.
