Specifications include, but are not limited to: Equipment. Provide a distributor truck capable of heating, circulating, and spraying the tack between 170 ˚F and 180 ˚F. Do not exceed 180 ˚F. Circulate the material while heating. As required by the manufacturer, ensure the spray bar is equipped with #1 or #2 ¼” V-slot Etnyre nozzles. Other nozzles are not acceptable ; Surface Preparation. Prior to the application of the non-tracking tack, ensure the pavement surface is thoroughly dry and free from dust or any other debris that would inhibit adhesion. Clean the surface by scraping, sweeping, and the use of compressed air. Ensure this preparation process occurs shortly before application to prevent the return of debris pavement. If rain is expected within one hour after application, do not apply material. Apply material only when the surface is dry, and no precipitation is expected. 3.2 Non-tracking Tack Application. Ensure the roadway temperature is a minimum of 40 F and rising during the application of the tack. This material is not suitable for use in colder temperatures. Prior to applying the tack, demonstrate competence in applying the tack according to this note to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Heat the tack in the distributor to between 170 – 180 ˚F. ; Place the Asphalt Mixture for Pavement Wedge or Asphalt Surface Mixture as a separate operation from the driving lane. Prime the existing shoulder with tack material as the Engineer directs before placing the wedge.
