VG 03.23.10 SPECIFICATION
1.
USE:
A durable, high skid resistant, retroreflective pavement marking material
suitable for use as interstate shields, route shields, bike path, roadway,
intersection, airport, commercial or private pavement delineation and markings.
1.1.
The
markings must be a resilient white, yellow or other color thermoplastic
product, the surface of which must contain glass beads and abrasives in an
alternating pattern. The markings must be resistant to the detrimental effects
of motor fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids etc. Lines, legends and symbols
are capable of being affixed to bituminous and/or Portland cement concrete
pavements by the use of the normal heat of a propane torch.
1.2.
The
markings must be capable of conforming to pavement contours, breaks and faults
through the action of traffic at normal pavement temperatures. The markings
shall have resealing characteristics, such that it is capable of fusing with
itself and previously applied thermoplastic when heated with the torch.
1.3.
The
markings shall not have minimum ambient and road temperature requirements for
application, storage, or handling.
2.
MANUFACTURING
CONTROL AND ISO CERTIFICATION: The manufacturer must be ISO 9001:2008 certified
and provide proof of current certification. The scope of the certification
shall include manufacture of reflective highway markings.
3.
MATERIAL:
Must be composed of an ester modified rosin resistant to degradation by motor
fuels, lubricants etc. in conjunction with aggregates, pigments, binders,
abrasives, and glass beads which have been factory produced as a finished
product, and meets the requirements of the current edition of the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways. The thermoplastic
material conforms to AASHTO designation M249-79 (98), with the exception of the
relevant differences due to the material being supplied in a preformed state.
3.1.
Graded
Glass Beads:
3.1.1.
The
material must contain a minimum of thirty percent (30%) intermixed graded glass
beads by weight. The intermixed beads shall be clear and transparent. Not more
than twenty percent (20%) consists of irregular fused spheroids, or silica. The
index of refraction shall not be less than 1.50.
3.1.2.
The
material must have factory applied coated surface beads and abrasives in
addition to the intermixed beads at a rate of 1/2 lb. (± 20%) per 11 sq. ft.
The surface beads and abrasives must be applied in an alternating arrangement
across the surface of the material so that the surface is covered in what is
best described as a “checkerboard” pattern of glass beads and abrasive
materials. The abrasive material must have a minimum hardness of 7 (Mohs
scale). These factory applied coated surface beads shall have the following
specifications:
Minimum
80% rounds 3) Minimum SiO2 Content of 70%;
Minimum
refractive index of 1.5 4) Maximum iron content of 0.1%;

3.2.
Pigments:
3.2.1.
White:
The material shall be manufactured with sufficient titanium dioxide pigment to
meet FHWA Docket No. FHWA-99-6190 Table 5 and Table 6 as revised and corrected.
3.2.2.
Red,
Blue, and Yellow: The material shall be manufactured with sufficient pigment to
meet FHWA Docket No. FHWA-99-6190 Table 5 and Table 6 as revised and corrected.
The yellow pigments must be organic and must be heavy-metal free.
3.2.3.
Other
Colors: The pigments must be heavy-metal free.
3.3.
Heating
indicators: The top surface of the material (same side as the factory applied
surface beads) shall have regularly spaced indents. These indents shall act as
a visual cue during application that the material has reached a molten state so
satisfactory adhesion and proper bead embedment has been achieved and a
post-application visual cue that the installation procedures have been
followed.
3.4.
Skid
Resistance: The surface of the preformed thermoplastic material shall contain
factory applied non-skid material with a minimum hardness of 7 (Mohs scale).
Upon application the material shall provide a minimum skid resistance value of
60 BPN when tested according to ASTM E 303
3.5.
Thickness:
The material must be supplied at a minimum thickness of 90 mils (2.29 mm) or
125 mils (3.15 mm).
3.6.
Retroreflectivity:
The preformed retroreflective marking materials upon application shall exhibit
adequate and uniform nighttime retroreflectivity. The marking materials shall
have the following retroreflectivity as measured using a Delta LTL 2000 or
LTL-X Retroreflectometer:
White preformed reflective marking materials–minimum of 275
mcd·m-2·lx-1
Note:
Initial retroreflection and skid resistance are affected by the amount of heat
applied during installation. When ambient temperatures are such that greater
amounts of heat are required for proper installation, initial retroreflection
and skid resistance levels may be affected.
3.7.
Environmental
Resistance: The material must be resistant to deterioration due to exposure to
sunlight, water, salt or adverse weather conditions and impervious to oil and
gasoline.
3.8.
Abrasives:
The abrasives and surface beads must be applied in an alternating arrangement
across the surface of the material so that the surface is covered in what is
best described as a “checkerboard” pattern of glass beads and abrasive
materials. The abrasive material must have a minimum hardness of 7 (Mohs
scale).
4.
APPLICATION:
4.1.
Asphalt:
The materials shall be applied using the propane torch method recommended by
the manufacturer. The material must be able to be applied without minimum
requirements for ambient and road temperatures and without any preheating of
the pavement to a specific temperature. The material must be able to be applied
without the use of a thermometer. The pavement shall be clean, dry and free of
debris. Supplier must enclose application instructions with each box/package.
4.2.
Portland
Concrete: The same application procedure shall be used as described under
Section 4.1. However, a compatible primer sealer may be applied before
application to assure proper adhesion.
5.
PACKAGING:
The preformed thermoplastic markings shall be placed in protective plastic film
with cardboard stiffeners where necessary to prevent damage in transit. Linear
material must be cut to a maximum of 3' long pieces. Legends and symbols must
also be supplied in flat pieces. The cartons in which packed shall be
non-returnable and shall not exceed 40" in length and 25" in width,
and be labeled for ease of identification. The weight of the individual carton
must not exceed seventy (70) pounds. A protective film around the box must be
applied in order to protect the material from rain or premature aging.
6.
TECHNICAL
SERVICES: The successful bidder shall provide technical services as required.
