C. Physical Requirements

1. Bend Test: The plastic shall be of such a structure that at atemperature of 80 deg.

2. Reseal Test: The plastic shall reseal to itself when tested as specified.Cut 1 x 3 pieces of plastic. Overlap these pieces face to face for anarea of 1 sq. in. on a flat steel plate with the backing materialremaining in place. Center a 1,000 gram weight over the 1 sq. in.

overlap area and place in an oven at 190 deg.+10 deg. F for 2 hours.After cooling to room temperature, the pieces shall not be separablewithout tearing.

3. Adhesive Backing Release Material Removal: The release materialshall be completely removed when tested as specified. Cut a x 6specimen. Remove the release material for 1 of the length and attachthe non-adhesive side to a vertical surface with a suitable clamp at thepoint where the release material was removed. Attach a clamp whichhas a supported 1 lb. Weight attached to it, to the end of the partlyremoved release material. Release the weight. Examine the

specimen for any remaining release material.

4. Strength: The plastic shall require between 10 and 25 pounds tobreak. The elongation shall be no greater than 50%. The specimensfor this test shall be Type 1 prepared in accordance to the methodsdescribed in ASTM D-638-61T. One-inch squares or carborundum,extra coarse emery cloth or its equivalent, may be applied at each endof the test specimens to prevent the plastic adhesive from adhering tothe test equipment. The break resistance shall be based on anaverage of at least 3 samples and the rate of pull of the test shall be0.25 inch per minute. This test shall be conducted at a temperature ofbetween 70 deg. F and 80 deg. F.

5. Plastic Pull Test: A test specimen cut to dimension of 1 x 6 shallsupport a dead load weight of 6 lbs. for not less than 30 minutes. Thistest shall be conducted at a temperature of between 70 deg. F and 80deg. F.

6. Glass Sphere Retention: The plastic shall have glass sphere retentionqualities. A 2 x 6 specimen of plastic shall be cut at a right angle tothe beveled edge and bent parallel to the beveled edge of a mandrel. While the specimen is bent, a strip of wide masking tape(such as Utilitape, manufactured by Permacel) shall be applied firmlyalong the length of the area of maximum bend and then removed.Should any glass spheres remain on the masking tape when the stripis removed the samples shall be rejected.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 MEASURING AND PREMARKING

A. The Contractor shall do all measuring and premarking required for

application of the pavement markings.

3.2 APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS, HOT APPLIED TYPE

A. Melting Equipment

1. A specially designed unit mounted on an appropriate truck chassis isrequired for melting the material. This equipment shall include thefeatures stipulated in the following paragraphs.

2. The melter shall be of sufficient capacity to satisfy the minimum

installation requirements of the material as specified hereafter.

3. The melter shall be thermostatically controlled so as to providetemperature control and prevent overheating.

4. Suitable temperature gauges to indicate material temperature shall beprovided.

5. The melter shall have an agitator to provide continuous mixing whileheating.

6. The melter shall have a means of rapidly and efficiently discharging theliquid material into appropriate application equipment.

7. The melter shall be equipped and conducted in such a manner as tosatisfy the requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

B. Application Equipment

1. Equipment shall be used to place the material on the pavement as afinished line and shall include the features stipulated in thissubparagraph.

2. The applicator shall provide a means of maintaining the material at itsproper application temperature (not lower than 340 deg. F nor higherthan 400 deg. F).


56/168

3. The applicator shall maintain uniformity of specified width andthickness of not less than 1/16 nor more than 3/16, of generallyuniform cross-section.

4. The applicator shall provide a means of cleanly cutting off the ends of

each length of line.

5. The applicator shall be capable of providing lines of variable widthsfrom 4 to 12 by use of easily interchangeable parts.

6. The applicator shall be provided with a sphere dispenser capable ofuniformly dispensing reflective glass spheres at controlled rates offlow. The sphere dispenser shall be automatically operated in such amanner that it will only dispense spheres while the material is beingapplied.

7. Application equipment shall consist of a portable applicator, capable ofbeing propelled by the operator, typically used for traffic lineinstallations such as crosswalk lines, stop bars, short lane lines andshort center lines. The applicator shall be easily maneuverable and soconstructed as to permit the installation of curved lines.

8. The applicator shall be equipped and constructed in accordance withthe requirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

C. Weather Conditions: Pavement marking shall be applied only in seasonalweather conditions that will assure a permanent bond to the pavement.The air temperature and pavement temperature shall be above 50 deg. F.

D. Preparation of Pavement Surface: All dust, debris and other foreignmatter shall be removed from the pavement surface immediately prior toinstallation of the material, or immediately prior to the application of sealerwhere required. The pavement shall be dry and free of oil, dirt, grease orother foreign contaminants at the time of installation.

E. Application of Thermoplastic Reflectorized Material: The thermoplasticreflectorized pavement marking material shall be applied to the pavementat material temperatures no lower than 340 deg. F, nor higher than 400deg. F.

F. Application of Glass Spheres: Immediately after the installation, drop-onglass shall be applied while the material is still sufficiently molten such thatthe spheres will be held mechanically imbedded in the surface of thematerial, in order to provide immediate night reflectivity. The spheres shallbe applied at a rate of one pound per 20 square feet of material.

Cold applied thermoplastic materials shall be applied to clean, drypavement surfaces, free of dirt and foreign matter, by removing therelease paper and placing the plastic on the surface with continuouspressure for a period of about 30 seconds, then permitting traffic to passover it. The pavement temperature shall be 60 deg. F or over, unlessspecial instructions are supplied by the manufacturer for application oftemperatures below 60 deg. F.

B. The manufacturer shall supply detailed information concerning any specialapplication procedures. Any necessary activators for the adhesive orvarious special coatings for different pavement surfaces shall be supplied.


A. Measurement and payment pavement markings shall be made at therespective units and unit prices for the types of pavement markings as listedin the Proposal, and shall be full compensation for all work complete and inplace. Removal of existing pavement markings if required shall be
