A feasibility study was a cooperative effort between the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), American Electric Power Company, and FHWA. The goal of the study was to give the highway community an indication of the feasibility of using fly ash in traffic marking paint. The study was an initial field test to verify the possibilities of using fly ash as an abrasion-resistant mineral filler pigment in traffic paint to improve the paint's durability and performance. Five types of paint were compared in the study: the standard NDOR yellow traffic paint and four other oil-alkyd yellow traffic paints specially formulated for the test by two different companies. Two of the paints contained fly ash. All of the paints performed satisfactorily in the laboratory tests in comparison with NDOR standard traffic paint specifications. The five traffic paints were applied with glass beads to Portland Cement Concrete pavement with a hand-pushed mechanical paint sprayer on October 6, 1992. The reflectivity readings of the paint stripes were taken and the paints were visually monitored for film failure for 1 year. In most cases the paint containing fly ash performed better than the other paints. The study was a small feasibility study to evaluate fly ash as a mineral filler pigment in traffic marking paint. The satisfactory performance of the paint containing fly ash indicates that fly ash could be used in traffic paint to improve its durability and performance. Further field testing of the traffic marking paint containing fly ash is justified.
