The product is tested after production by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) State Materials Office to ensure it matches the specification requirements set forth. Due to the time sensitivity of the product there is no listing for membrane-forming curing compounds on the FDOT Qualified Products List. This is done so to prevent the use of dated material that may be either ineffective or potentially damaging to the surface on which it is applied. The FDOT State Materials Office tests each individual batch for use on listed projects and restricts that product “for use on FDOT projects only”, which is stated on the container labels. Additionally, this label lists the Laboratory Identification, Batch Number, Date Tested, and Validity Window for the product and is accompanied by the signature of the state’s agency representative who is responsible. This label, attached to the batches final containers (as seen below), is the FDOT certification for this product. </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="561" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 134 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="39742800.jpg" border=0 width="66" height="128" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF><NOBR><bR> <div> <IMG SRC="39813150.gif" border=0 width="19" height="21" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">FDOT Approved Concrete Curing Compound Certification Label</div> <div>     (located on the side of the drum)</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <A HREF="id19_m.htm" TITLE="Lambert Corporation F.A.Q.
