TRAFFIC PAINT PERFORMANCE IN ACCELERATED WEAR TESTS. SECOND INTERIM REPORT

This report describes accelerated wear tests of traffic paints on portland cement concrete and asphalt concrete pavements. Installation and performance of several paints, including chlorinated rubber and chlorinated rubber-alkyd, alkyd, acrylic and acrylic-alkyd, epoxy, and waterbase, are discussed. Durability and appearance ratings provided reliable indications of paint performance, but reflectivity ratings were extremely variable. Chlorinated-rubber paints provided the best service lives, but also had the longest dry times, averaging over 3 minutes.
