Description / Abstract:
This specification covers alkyd resin type, ready-mixed white
and yellow traffic paints for use on bituminous and portland cement
concrete pavements.
Intended use of the traffic paint.
These paints may be reflectorized for night visibility by adding
reflective spheres before the paint film dries or sets, using the
drop-on or pressurized methods. Generally, the reflective spheres
are evenly dispersed to a wet film of 0.38 mm (15 mils) at a rate
of 600 to 720 kg/m (5 to 6 lb/gal) of paint. The amount may be
altered by the purchaser.
Types:
Type S Traffic Paint - This type is a slow drying paint
that shall be used in areas where coning is acceptable for 1 h or
more.
Type N Traffic Paint - This type has immediate drying
properties and shall be used in areas where coning of roadway is
acceptable for 15 to 30 min.
Type F Traffic Paint - This type shall be used where
faster drying time is required with a minimum of coning. With good
drying conditions, this paint should dry in 3 to 6 min if heated to
51.5 ± 2.5°C (125 ± 5°F) in the applicator.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
Note 1 - It is advisable to consult local air
pollution regulations regarding solvents prior to selecting type of
paint to be used.
