Angco Striping, Inc. is located in Longwood, FL and is an FDOT-Approved installer of MMA (Methyl Methacrylate)
Pathway Perceptions
Pathway Perceptions
Durable and High Definition Color
Pathway Perceptions is a Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) based product and is a UV stable, environmentally friendly material used for color pavement marking.
Pathway Perceptions is typically used for demarcation of bike lanes, pedestrian areas, bus lanes and other specially designated areas. A variety of supplied aggregates will create appropriate skid resistance for the application, vehicular traffic and specification requirements.
Pathway Perceptions is applied via spray equipment with atomized air sprayed aggregate to ensure a uniform application of skid resistance. Pathway Perceptions cures without requiring external heat sources.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Pathway Perceptions enhances your safety program with high visibility color and service life.

Material/Application Specification
Material/Application Specification
Pathway Perceptions is a Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) resin system used for pavement area markings and anti-skid surfacing. It is a plural component, liquid applied MMA and catalyst, capable of full cure in a wide range of temperatures without requiring external heat sources.
MMA is typically used for demarcation of crosswalks, bicycle paths, bus lanes and other specially designated areas. It can also be used as a surface to enhance skid resistance on hazardous turns and other areas prone to accidents. It can be applied to either concrete or asphalt using spray equipment and a pressurized broadcast aggregate method.
Resin and hardener formulations are to be systematically mixed, via continuous agitation, at a 98:2 ratio to ensure proper cure times and performance. If using glass beads, they must be coated for use with MMA materials.
Application Procedure
Surface Preparation: All surfaces that are to receive MMA must be thoroughly clean, dry, and free of all dirt, grease, and other contaminates that might interfere with proper adhesion. All damaged or deteriorated surfaces must be repaired before applying MMA.
The surface should be visibly dry and the moisture content should be tested according to ASTM D4263 (modified to 2 hours). New asphalt shall have been placed for a minimum of 15 days prior to installation of MMA and surface oils should not be present.
Mixed Resin and Aggregate Application Method
Mixed Resin and Aggregate Application Method
Mixing and Application
Mixing: MMA comes in three components (pigmented resin, liquid hardener, and aggregate). Thorough and complete mixing of these components, with automatic agitation in the supply tank, is vital for uniform curing and performance.
Air/substrate temperature determines the amount of hardener used; refer to Table 1 for the appropriate amount of hardener to be added to the MMA resin. After automatic mixing of the resin and the hardener at the gun tip, the MMA must be applied to the pavement immediately.

Spray/Broadcast Aggregate Application Method
Spray/Broadcast Aggregate Application Method
Mixing and Application
It is important to use the resin formulation that matches the mixing ratio of the equipment that will be used for the application. Spray applications using a 98:2 formulation with equipment that automatically proportions volumes of resin and hardener, does not require the resin and hardener to be premixed prior to application.
The MMA resin should be agitated prior to mixing with the liquid hardener at the gun tip. Refer to Table 2 for hardener mixing ratios. If there is an interruption in the spray application the equipment should be cleaned with solvent to prevent material from curing and creating clogging.

Application: Before applying the MMA, remove all debris from the primed surface using brooms or blowers. Make sure that all of the broadcast aggregate is covered with the third coat of MMA resin; the application rate should be approximately 50 square feet per gallon.
After the MMA is applied, and before it cures, remove all masking (tape). At the onset of rain, installation shall cease until the substrate is sufficiently dry to the satisfaction of the engineer.
The installer must be able to show prior installations that amount to not less than 50,000 square feet and the manufacturer must have material that has been applied, in the field for not less than seven years.

Storage
Materials shall be kept in dry protected areas between 40°F – 80°F out of direct sunlight, protected from open flame. Hardener component shall be stored separately from other materials. Manufacturer’s specific label instructions and prudent safety practices for storage and handling shall be followed at all times.
Materials shall be suitable for use for six months after the date of receipt when stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Caution
The binder shall be 100% reactive, solvent-free, acrylic vehicle. Blends with other resins or liquid vehicles shall not be permitted. Coarse aggregate shall be part of the formulation to provide for skid resistance.
