Heat Torch
The propane heat torch is safe and comfortable to use even in the most extreme temperatures. This UL-listed heat gun features an electric ignition, hand guard, deadman trigger, and an automatic POL valve for maximum safety.
The torch is specially designed for installing preformed thermoplastic pavement markings and adhesives. It can also be used for removal of paint, drying loop detector grooves, removal of cold plastic and temporary tape, shrinking plastic for wrapping, drying road surfaces and for melting snow or ice.
The torch measures approximatively 37″ overall including a 24″ extension. The fan-shaped nozzle ensures even heating when applying preformed thermoplastic in any season, but especially in windy, wet spring months. The swivel hose connector prevents kinks and twisting. The torch consumes only 8 pounds of propane per hour of continuous use.
Using the torch to apply the material will reduce the likelihood that the surface glass beads will sink too much when heating the preformed thermoplastic.
