MultiTrack Plus
MultiTrack Plus is a premium quality 100% acrylic emulsion fortified with rubber particles designed for coating asphalt and latex/rubber running track surfaces. MultiTrack Plus is available in Red or Black. 'Red' MultiTrack Plus contains red EPDM rubber granules and 'Black' MultiTrack Plus contains black EPDM rubber granules. MultiTrack Plus beautifies tracks and provides superior protection against oxidization, ravelling, and moisture penetration. MultiTrack Plus is available in 30-gallon fiber kegs or 55-gallon steel drums.

2 Colors to choose from: Red and Black

Surface Preparation
New asphalt must cure for 21 days prior to application of coatings. Pavement surface must be cleaned entirely of dust, dirt, mildew (if any) debris and all loose materials including vegetation. Depressions and shallow, damaged areas in the asphalt surface can be corrected by patching with MultiLane Acrylic Patch. Cracks can be filled with MultiFlex Crack Sealant. All repairs must be flush and smooth to adjoining surfaces. A tack coat of MultiAcrylic Adhesion Promoter is recommended prior to the initial coat of MultiTrack Plus, particularly on older tracks which are likely to be oxidized.

Coverage
Coverage will normally range from 0.10 to 0.29 gallons per square yard per coat depending on the age, roughness, and porosity of the surface. Yields are based on undiluted MultiTrack Plus.

Dilution and Mixing Procedure:
Dilute MultiTrack Plus with water using the following ratio:

Mixing Ratio
MultiTrack Plus............................ 10-gallons
Water.......................................... 2.4-gallons to 2.6-gallons (24% - 26%)

Important: The amount of water required will vary according to ambient temperature. Higher temperatures may require greater water dilution to a maximum of 26% of the undiluted MultiTrack Plus

Application
As a coating, MultiTrack Plus is applied using a soft rubber squeegee. A second coat would be applied in the same manner as the first coat only after the first coat had thoroughly dried. It is recommended that the coated surface be allowed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before opening the running track for use.

Cautions:

  • Read the container label before using. Follow label instructions.
  • When applying, air temperature must be a minimum of 50 degrees F. (10C) and rising. Do not apply if surface temperature exceeds 135 degrees F. (57C)
  • Do not apply when rain is imminent or forecast
  • When applying indoors, use with adequate ventilation during application and drying
  • Close containers when not in use
  • Do not store in direct sunlight or where temperature may exceed 100 degrees F.
  • KEEP FROM FREEZING

Important:

  1. When applying surface coatings during periods of very hot weather, apply coatings at the coolest part of the day, usually in the early morning. Do not apply if surface temperature is 135 degrees F. (57C) or above. When you encounter hot weather which the surface temperature exceeds 135 F. (57C), it is best to apply one coat in the early morning before the temperature rises and then wait until the next morning to apply the next coat.

    Drying Time: 45 to 90 minutes under optimum drying conditions.

    Line Markings
    Line markings shall be laid out and applied in accordance with the chosen governing rules. A Running Track Stencils Kit is available and can be supplied with the coating materials
