Marking paint performance testing!

Based on the author's experience and experience in the formulation of road traffic marking paint (hereinafter referred to as marking paint) for many years, construction process research, engineering site construction, paint performance testing, standard formulation and consulting services, combined with the transportation industry standard JT/ T280-2004 "Pavement marking paint" and national standard GB/T16311-2005 "Quality Requirements and Testing Methods for Road Traffic Marking" as well as related national standards for paint, detailedly introduced the general requirements of marking paint and satisfies road traffic Special performance requirements and testing methods. It is pointed out that in order to produce excellent marking paints, it is necessary to do a good job in the quality control of the entire production process on the basis of strict quality control of raw materials, do a good job of each performance test, and control the paint's performance indicators. The road test is also used to verify the rationality and practicality of the formula. In view of the vastness of China’s territory and the variety of climate changes and application conditions, the use of marking paints with good effect in the northern regions may not be applicable to the southern region. The same marking paints in the arid regions of the west may not be suitable for hot and humid regions in the east. For this reason, It is necessary to make corresponding adjustments to the performance indicators of the marking paint to meet the needs of different regions, different seasons, and different conditions of use.

Table 2 Various types of marking coating Non-stick tire drying time min

The test method specified in the standard is to apply a 300 μm thick coating on an asbestos cement board (200 mm×150 mm×50 mm) and immediately time it. After 10 minutes of a solvent-based general-purpose paint (solvent-based reflective paint for 5 minutes), use non-sticky tires. The time analyzer rolls on the coating and checks that there is no adhesive coating on the roller and that the coating is wiped with solvent. After every 30s, measure it until the roller does not adhere to the paint. Record the time of non-stick tire.
