Title: TRAFFIC PAINT TESTS
Accession Number: 00216669
Record Type: Component
Abstract: TRAFFIC-PAINT-TESTING PROCEDURES ARE REVIEWED IN AN ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE WHICH TESTS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED AS STANDARD. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO OFFICIAL SET OF STANDARD TESTS FOR TRAFFIC PAINTS, THOSE IN USE BY A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF CONSUMERS AND THOSE ESTABLISHED BY ASTM ARE CONSIDERED AS STANDARD. CERTAIN LABORATORY CONTROL TESTS TOGETHER WITH SMALL SCALE ROAD TESTS ARE GIVEN AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS AVAILABLE AT THE PRESENT TIME FOR EVALUATING CANDIDATE TRAFFIC PAINTS. LABORATORY TESTS USED TO PREDICT TRAFFIC PAINT DURABILITY ARE CONSIDERED UNRELIABLE WITHOUT FURTHER TESTING DETAILS AND CLARIFICATION. CURRENT ASTM EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH ACCELERATED LABORATORY TRAFFIC-PAINT TESTS FOR DURABILITY AND SUSPENSION ARE REVIEWED. THE NEED FOR SUCH ACCELERATED TESTS IS EMPHASIZED IN ORDER TO PERMIT PERFORMANCE RATHER THAN COMPOSITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS. /AUTHOR/
