Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	Maximum Bond, Minimum Cleanup Many tack and bond coats have a reputation for spreading excess material across the job site. eTac is created using materials that minimize tracking, preventing it from being spread across or outside your working area. As an added benefit, reduced tracking frees up personnel who are ordinarily required to clean up ahead of the paver. Get a Grip on Asphalt Layers eTac can be applied at a heavier rate than traditional bond coats. It provides a solid grip on the subsequent asphalt layer, reducing the chance of slippage. With minimal tracking, faster break times and strong adhesion, achieving a no-slip bond between asphalt layers is easier than ever.
General Composition of Material:
	This is a hard pen asphalt emulsion designed to be trackless.
