TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE A. Marking materials and glass beads shall be supplied and delivered to the project in manufacturer's original new and unopened containers, factory sealed and labeled. The containers containing marking materials shall be sealed to preclude contamination and shall have a capacity of not less than 25 kg nor more than 100 kg and each container shall be labeled to clearly identify the contents, manufacturer, batch number and date of manufacture. Containers of marking materials shall not be opened except for immediate use. Materials older than the manufacturer's recommended or extended shelf life shall not be used and shall be removed from the site. Provide adequate storage facilities separate from storage of other building materials. Store paint materials at a minimum ambient temperature of 7 oC in a well ventilated area. Also, follow manufacturer's written instructions regarding storage and handling.

QUALITY ASSURANCE A. B. Provide manufacturer's best quality trade sale materials. Container not displaying manufacturer's product identification will not be acceptable. Marking materials shall be specifically designed and formulated for pavement work of types required and climate conditions applicable. Materials shall be produced by the manufacturer regularly producing materials of the kinds required, and shall have successful history proven by actual use of similar applications.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 MATERIALS A. Pavement Markings: Material used for all traffic stripes and markings shall be reflectorizing thermoplastic type complying with the requirements of SASO 819, SASO 929, AASHTO 249 and MOT Standards. Marking materials shall comprise of synthetic hydrocarbon thermoplastic resins, plasticizer, extenders, pigments, aggregate, and pre-mixed reflectorizing glass beads; and shall have surface applied glass beads to marking material at the time it is applied to the pavement. Marking Material: Designed for dry film thickness of not less than 1.5 mm, exclusive of surface applied glass beads. Color of marking material shall be white and yellow unless otherwise indicated on Drawings. Glass Beads: Reflective feature shall be provided by adding glass spheres to

surface of thermoplastic coating. Glass spheres (beads) shall be as recommended by thermoplastic coating manufacturer, shall conform to SASO 943 and AASHTO M 247 except as specified herein, and shall be capable of reflectorizing the approved thermoplastic coating effectively. Beads shall be transparent, reasonable spherical and colorless, and shall not impart color to the thermoplastic. Bead sizes shall conform to the following gradation, as determined by SASO 943 or ASTM D 1214: Sieve Size 0.250 mm 0.212 mm 0.106 mm 0.063 mm PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.3 CONSTRUCTION METHODS A. B. Time of Application: Allow at least 30 days curing time for new pavement surfaces before applying paint. Weather Limitations: Perform painting only when the existing surface is dry and clean, when the pavement and air temperatures are above 4 oC and below 50 oC and when, as determined by The Engineer, weather is not too windy, dusty, or foggy for satisfactory painting. Trial Painting: If required by the Engineer, paint a trial pavement strip of 45 m length at an approved location. The trial shall demonstrate that the materials, equipment, and application methods will provide specified results. Proceed with work only after the methods established in the trial have been approved. Layouts and Alignment: On sections of pavements where no previously applied figures, markings, or stripes are available to serve as a guide, spot the layouts and lines of proposed stripes in advance of the painting thermoplastic stripping. Space control points to ensure the accurate location of all markings. Equipment for Painting: 1. Equipment will be subject to approval of The Engineer, and shall include apparatus for cleaning the existing surface, a mechanical marking machine, and auxiliary hand-painting equipment. Mechanical marker shall be an atomizing spray-type marking machine for applying traffic paint and shall produce a film of uniform thickness at the required coverage rate. Markings shall be of uniform cross-section, shall have clear-cut edges without runs or spatters, and shall be within the specified limits for straightness. When needed, furnish a reflective media dispenser for attachment to the mechanical marker. Provide adjustments on the sprayers of a single machine to paint the width required, or furnish additional equipment. Hydrocarbon thermoplastic traffic strips shall be applied with an approved extrusion machine capable of applying the thermoplastic to the required

width in accordance with manufacturer's written recommendations. F. Preparation of Surface: 1. Immediately before applying paint, clean the pavement by sweeping and blowing as necessary to produce a dry surface free from substances such as dirt, grease, oil, acid, laitance, and other substance which will reduce bond between markers and the pavement. Scrub areas which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned by brooming and blowing, as required, with a 10 percent solution by weight of trisodium phosphate in water or other approved solution. After scrubbing, rinse the solution off and dry the surface before painting or application of thermoplastic. Obliterate to the satisfaction of the Engineer all temporary markings or stripes which are to be abandoned or removed. Spot the layouts and lines of proposed stripes on pavement in advance of the paint application. Space control points to ensure accurate location of all markings.

Application of Paint or Thermoplastic: 1. Apply markings in the locations shown and in conformance with the dimensions, spacings, and colors shown, or as required. Do not apply paint until the layouts, indicated alignment, and the condition of the existing surface are approved. Apply single stripes wholly on one side of longitudinal pavement joints. Center double or multiple stripes over such joints. Mix the paint in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions and apply it to the surface of the pavement with the marking machine at its original consistency without the addition of thinner. Use pneumatic spray guns for hand application in areas where mobile paint applicator cannot be used. Do not use brushes to apply paint. Thermoplastic shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. When reflectorized markings are applied, distribute the reflective media to the surface of the pigmented binder immediately, and imbed at the required rate. Make sure that the paint does not bleed excessively, curl, or discolor when it is applied to bituminous surfaces. When painting straight stripes, obliterate deviations in the edges exceeding 13 mm in 15 m and correct the markings. The widths of the markings shall be as indicated, within a tolerance of plus or minus five percent. Perform painting or application of thermoplastic as approved. Apply paint uniformly with suitable equipment at the rate of not less than 2.60 m/l or more than 2.80 m/l. Apply glass spheres at the rate of 1.2 kg/l of paint. Hydrocarbon thermoplastic strip shall be extruded to a finished thickness of 2.3 mm by an approved extrusion machine. Glass beads shall be applied in

accordance with the MOC standards. H. Application of Beads: 1. I. For roadway pavement markings, the amount of beads (glass spheres) in the finished paint shall contain not less than 0.5 kg/l nor more than 0.59 kg/l.

Protection of Markings: Protect fresh paint and markings while paint dries. Erect satisfactory warning signs, flags or barricades, protective screens, and coverings as required. Protect surfaces from disfiguration by spatter, spillage, or drippings of paint, thermoplastic, or other materials. END OF SECTION
