A MODEL PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF PAVEMENT MARKING PAINTS AND POWDERS

This specification describes the general and specific requirements for reflective pavement marking paints or powders to be used in pavement marking programs, provides for the submission of samples, and describes the laboratory and service test procedure which will be used to rate the materials submitted for test. The paints described are classified relative to drying times, and relative to glass bead application methods. Details are given of the application, equipment packaging and handling. The properties of glass spheres for reflectorization and the properties of stripping powders are detailed. Specifications for road service tests, the samples required, the certification required, the service tests, sampling and testing, and the acceptance and rejection are outlined.
