| Preparation |
| Liquid |
- Dilute the required Dustex with the water in the water bowser
|
| Powder |
- Fill the bowser with one-third water; then add the required Dustex. Circulate the water during this process if possible. Once mixed, fill the bowser with water.
|
| Application |
| Mix-in |
- Rip the road to 150 mm and break large clods to maximum 50 mm
- Calculate the approximate volume of water required to reach OMC and add 85% of the required product application rate to this quantity of water
- Apply the solution onto the prepared surface in 2 to 4 applications, mixing thoroughly between applications
- Shape to required camber and compact with pneumatic or vibratory roller to required density
- Apply remaining 15% product to the road surface while still damp
|
| Spray-on |
- For spray-on applications, the road surface should be well compacted, density >93%, firm and free of excess loose material and with sufficient camber to allow for proper drainage
- Apply the product in multiple applications using a 10-15% solution of product with water
- Avoid run-off and pooling
