Safety Precautions
Avoid excessive material contact with skin.
Always wear hand gloves when working with Cold Mix Asphalt
If skin becomes contaminated, cleanse it using an approved petroleum-based abrasive hand cleaner, gel or soap, them rinse thoroughly with water.
If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water and if discomfort continues, seek medical advice.
Essential Tips for Effective Cold Asphalt Application
1. Cold Asphalt tends to stick to metal and composite materials, so keep your compactor plate wet with water to prevent adhesion.

2. Avoid using diesel on your equipment or near Cold Asphalt, as it negatively affects the material.

3. Cold Asphalt can stick to your shoes while walking on it. To prevent material pickup during compaction, wet the soles of your shoes.

4. Ensure all equipment is fully fueled, serviced, and ready to use to prevent unnecessary delays.

5. If the material gets wet or it rains while working, it will not affect the outcome. Continue compacting, as this will displace any water present.

6. Cold Asphalt cures through air exposure and continuous compaction; the more it is compacted, the faster it will cure to match the existing road surface.

7. Avoid turning in place while the material is still curing. However, after proper compaction, traffic will not displace or create ruts in the surface.

8. The surfacing layer should not exceed 30mm. If a thicker layer is needed, compact it in 30mm increments.

9. If subsidence occurs, the area can be topped up and recompacted. However, recurring failure may indicate issues with the base structure.

10. In very hot conditions, lightly dust the completed surface with crusher run or similar sand material to absorb excess binder and speed up curing.

11. Store unused material in a tightly sealed bag for up to three months. Always follow proper road safety procedures, including correct signage and road closures, when working on roads.
