Epoxy thermoplastic pavement marking material: Summary of research results and revised specifications
Abstract
The results of an extensive laboratory program to establish a specification for an epoxy thermoplastic (ETP) striping material were presented. Laboratory test procedures to evaluate the properties of ETP, the effect of variations in ETP component ratios, and interim specification based on proprietary components for the ETP were established. The results of an investigation of the effects of alternate pigments and resins on the ETP properties were summarized. The test methods and analytical procedures were modified and improved and were evaluated in an interlaboratory test program.
