Detailed applicationThe PREMARK® system is characterised by its very user friendly method of application.
Application is easy and quick and requires no machines or other advanced and expensive equipment - all that is necessary is a gas burner and a broom! PREMARK® has been developed for application onto asphalt and surfaces containing bitumen, but can also be used on other surfaces.
Application onto asphalt: Sweep the surface thoroughly with a broom or high-pressure airbrush. Mark out the area where PREMARK® is going to be laid. Any moisture must be removed from the surface with the gas burner. Swing the gas burner back and forth over the markings with slow, smooth movements until the material becomes viscous. The application is complete when all of the heat indicators in the surface of the material have completely disappeared. When using the special JETPACK® gas burner for the application, the pre-beaded topcoat of the PREMARK® material will provide high initial values of retro-reflection and friction. If an ordinary gas burner is used, drop-on material (glass beads and/or friction material) must be strewn over the markings whilst PREMARK® is still in its viscous state in order to ensure high initial values of retro-reflection and friction. On completion, testing must be carried out.
Application onto concrete, stone and old asphalt: For optimum fixture on concrete, stone or old asphalt, PREMARK® primer is needed. Spread the primer onto the road surface and let it dry completely before PREMARK® is applied. Read the instructions on the primer packaging. The rest of the process is as previously stated.
For a more detailed explanation of the correct way to lay PREMARK® please read the Installation Manual found in every pack of PREMARK®.

The surface must be cleaned and any moisture removed. Primer must be used on concrete, stone or old asphalt afterwards.  | PREMARK® is placed with the smooth side facing down. |
 | Heat PREMARK® with the gas burner with slow, smooth movements. |
 | Heating continues until the material is viscous and the heat indicators are gone. |
