KyTC Construction	1092 Matt Simpson Agency	Y Approve	Sounds good, but I would have to defer to Materials as to whether it meets the chemical properties we want. May be worth getting a few markings down for evaluation.	Sep 21, 2020	2732
KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	Y Approve	This product appears to have relevant use provided the materials conform to Cabinet standards. It should be compared to other similar products that have been approved for use on our highways.	Sep 21, 2020	2731
