What is the required temperature for the tack coat RC-800?

The required temperature for the tack coat RC-800 is crucial for ensuring proper adhesion between layers of asphalt. The specified temperature range of between 80-125°C promotes optimal fluidity, allowing the material to spread uniformly and adhere effectively to the existing surface.

When applied within this temperature range, RC-800 can achieve the desired bond strength necessary for the success of subsequent asphalt layers. Temperatures below this range may lead to inadequate flow and bonding, while temperatures above it can degrade the material's properties, making it less effective.

This temperature guideline is grounded in the engineering principles that govern asphalt application, ensuring that the tack coat performs as intended and contributes positively to the longevity and durability of the road structure.
