INVESTIGATION OF PAINTS AND GLASS BEADS USED IN TRAFFIC DELINEATION MARKINGS-PHASE 2
A MISSOURI DISPERSION RESIN-VARNISH PAINT AND A MISSOURI CHLORINATED RUBBER-ALKYD PAINT WERE USED AS A GUIDE TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE WEAR RESISTANCE QUALITIES OF SEVERAL PROPRIETARY HIGH HEAT PAINTS. THE RATINGS WERE BASED ON FIELD EVALUATIONS OF THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF TRANSVERSELY-PLACED PAINT STRIPES. THE RESULTS INDICATED A WIDE RANGE OF LIFE EXPECTANCIES FOR THE VARIOUS PROPRIETARY PAINTS. ONE HIGH HEAT PAINT, TYPE "G", WAS EQUAL TO OR BETTER TAHN THE MISSOURI PAINTS AND THE OTHER HIGH HEAT PAINTS EVALUATED. THE GENERAL APPEARANCE RATING SYSTEM WAS USED TO VISUALLY EVALUATE THE TRANSVERSE STRIPES. THIS RATING SYSTEM WAS USED IN A PREVIOUS PAINT STUDY AND WAS FOUND TO CORRELATE BEST WITH ACTUAL STRIPE LIFE FOR PAVEMENTS IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. VISUAL EVALUATION OF ABRASION AND CHIPPING, AS DESCRIBED IN ASTM, WAS ALSO USED. /FHWA/
