740.07
A. Type I (removable): 0.030-inch (0.76 mm) minimum thickness.
B. Type II (non-removable): 0.015-inch (0.38 mm) minimum thickness.
Provide materials conforming to this specification. Receive approval from
the Engineer.
740.07 Epoxy Pavement Marking Material. Ensure that the material
supplied is a 100% solids two-part epoxy system capable of being applied at
ambient temperature down to 50 °F (10 °C). Furnish a slow cure material capable
of retaining reflective glass beads 740.09 type D, after application.
Furnish epoxy conforming to the following requirements:
A. Formulation. Furnish epoxy formulated as a Long Life Pavement Marking
System, capable of providing a minimum of 4 years of performance, free of any
peroxides and any Tri-methyolpropane Tri-acrylate) TMPTA and other multifunctional
monomers. Ensure that the epoxy is designed to provide simple
volumetric mixing ratio of its components (such as 2:1).
B. Epoxide Number. Ensure that the epoxide number of the epoxy resin is the
manufacturer’s target value ±0.05 as determined by ASTM D 1652 for both white
and yellow Part A on a pigment free basis.
C. Amine Number. Ensure that the amine number of the curing agent (Part B)
is the manufacturer’s target value ±50 as per ASTM D 2074 on a pigment free
basis.
D. Laboratory Drying Time. Ensure that the pavement marking material,
when mixed in the proper ratio and applied at the properly prescribed wet film
thickness at 75 ± 2 °F (24 ± 0.5 °C) and with the proper saturation of glass beads,
exhibit a no tracking time of no greater than 40 to 45 minutes when tested
according to ASTM D 711.
E. Field Time to No-Track. Furnish pavement marking material that will be in
“no tracking condition” between 15 to 45 minutes. The “no tracking condition”
will be determined by applying the markings and beads at the specification
requirements to dry pavements at a low temperature of 45°F(7°C) and high
temperature of 120°F (49°C). Run tests at the manufacturer’s highest and lowest
recommended application humidity. The marking materials will be applied at the
manufacturer’s recommended application temperature. The “no tracking” time
will be determined by passing over the line with a passenger car at a speed of 25 to
35 mph (44 to 55 kmph) in a simulated passing maneuver. A line showing no
visual deposition of the material to the pavement surface when viewed at a
distance of 50 ft (15 m) will be considered as showing “no tracking” and
conforming to this requirement for time to “no track”. Protect the line from
tracking during the setting period by coning off or as shown on the plans.
F. Field Curing. Furnish epoxy pavement marking material capable of fully
curing at a constant surface temperature of 45 °F (7 °C) or above.
G. Hardness. Furnish epoxy pavement marking materials, when tested
according to ASTM D 2240, that have a Shore D Hardness of between 70 and 90.
