How does PreMark® perform on old asphalt?

PreMark® is designed to last six to eight times longer than paint. Consequently, if the age of the asphalt is such that it will be repaved before the PreMark® would wear out, it is not the right product for the job. In order for PreMark® to bond to the asphalt road surface, the bitumen must rise to the top and fuse with the performed thermoplastic. If the asphalt is so old and dry that the bitumen will not rise to the surface when heated, then it must be treated as a concrete and a sealer must be used. This scenario does not happen often. In fact, more often than not, older asphalt simply requires more heat than new asphalt in order to bring the bitumen to the surface.  more
