or processes.
D. Methods of Sampling and Testing
1. The minimum batch size of thermoplastic striping material when tested
shall not be less that 2,000 Ibs (907 kg) unless the total order is less than

2. The material shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO M249 & T250
with the appropriate method in Federal Test Method Standard No. 141 or
ASTM designation. .-

E. Thermoplastic Performance and Application Characteristics
1. The thermoplastic material shall not deteriorate by contact with sodium
chloride, calcium chloride or other chemicals used to prevent roadway ice
or because of the oil content of pavement materials or from oil droppings
or other effects of traffic.
2. Application - The material shall be applied to the pavement by the
extrusion method wherein one side of the shaping die is the pavement and
the other sides are contained by or a part of suitable equipment for heating
and controlling the flow of material.
3. Equipment - The equipment used to install hot applied thermoplastic
material by contract under this specification shall be constructed to provide continuous uniform heating to temperatures exceeding 400F (204C),
mixing and agitation of the material. Conveying parts of the equipment between the main material reservoir and the line dispensing device shall
’ prevent accumulation and clogging. All parts of the equipment which
come in contact with the material shall be constructed for easy
accessibility and exposure for cleaning and maintenance. The equipment
shall operate so that all mixing and conveying parts, including the line
dispensing device, maintains the material at the plastic temperature. The
use of pans, aprons, or similar appliances which the dispenser overruns will not be permitted under this specification. The equipment shall provide
for varying traffic marking application widths.
a) The application equipment shall be mobile and maneuverable to
the extend that straight lines can be followed and normal curves
can be made in a true arc.
b) Glass spheres applied to the surface of the completed stripe shall
be applied by an automatic bead dispenser attached to the striping
machine so that the beads are dispensed closely behind the installed line. The glass sphere dispenser shall be equipped with
an automatic cut-off control synchronized with the cut-off of the
thermoplastic material.
cl A special kettle shall be provided for uniformly melting and heating
the thermoplastic material. The kettle must be equipped with an
automatic thermostatic control device and material thermometer for
positive temperature control and to prevent overheating or
scorching of the material. The heating kettle and application
equipment shall meet the requirements of the National Fire
Underwriters and the National Fire Protection Association of the
state and local authorities.
4. Installation Techniques - The finished lines shall have well defined edges.
The contractor shall clean off pavement surface dirt, grease, and concrete
curing compounds where necessary by approved project inspector removal methods.
a) A primer sealer of the type recommended by the manufacturer of the thermoplastic material shall be applied on all Portland concrete
pavement surfaces and, if recommended by the manufacturer on
-12- 2126199
b)
c)
d)
other types of pavement surfaces, prior to the installation of the
thermoplastic material. The primer shall be void of solvent and
water prior to the thermoplastic application.
To insure optimum adhesion, the thermoplastic material shall be
installed in a melted state at a temperature from 400 to 440F (204-
226C).
Longitudinal lines shall be offset at least 2 inches (5cm) from
construction joints of Portland cement concrete pavements and
joints or shoulder breaks of bituminous concrete pavements.
Thermoplastic pavement marking materials shall not be applied by
the extrusion method when pavement temperatures are below 50F
(1 OC), by the spray method when the pavement temperatures are
below 55F (13C), or when the surface of the pavement contains
evidence of moisture. If thermoplastic materials are not dispensed
by means of a screed-extrusion device or a spray device, the
thermoplastic materials shall not be applied when the pavement or
air temperature is below 65F.
5. NOTE: It is suggested that openings of 6 inch (15cm) lengths be provided
at 20 foot (6m) intervals on edgelines placed on the inside of super
elevated curves to prevent the possible ponding of water on the pavement surface.
6. Warranty - The thermoplastic pavement marking material furnished and installed by contract under this specification shall be guaranteed by the
contractor against failure due to poor adhesion resulting from defective
materials or methods of application.
NOTE 1: Warrantees may vary depending upon the applied line thickness, the positioning of the line, the traffic density, the use of studded
snow tires and the frequency of snowplow operations.
NOTE 2: The following warrantees are typical for application thicknesses
of 125 mils (3.157mm) for crosswalks and stoplines and 90 mils
(2.286mm) for lanelines, centerlines, and edgelines. Warrantees for
thinner lines in these applications or for higher traffic volumes may be
reduced commensurately.
a) For non-defective pavement surfaces carrying volumes less than
50,000 vehicles per day, the contractor shall guarantee to replace
or renew without cost to the City that part of the pavement
markings installed which have not remained to perform useless
services as follows:
(1) Crosswalks and stoplines and legends - 75 percent of the
total of an 1 intersection for 1 year.
(2) Lanelines, edgelines and centerlines - 90 percent of a unit
for 1 year, 80 percent of a unit for 2 years and 60 percent of
a unit for 3 years. (A “unit” is defined as any length of
-13-
highway having installed thereon 2,000 lineal feet (610
meters) of line of specified width in any combination or
pattern.)
b) The replacement material installed under this guarantee shall be
guaranteed the same as the original material, from the date of the
original installation.
7. Thickness Measurement - Shall be accomplished by placing black tapes,
film or metal plates of known and uniform thickness in the area to be
striped. Once the striper has passed, the sample shall be removed by
making sharp cuts with a knife and measurements of the strip plus film
shall be made with a micrometer or venier calipers with a proper correction
for the film base. For longitudinal lines, these thickness checks shall be
made every l/3 mile or more frequently at the judgment of the project
engineer. For symbols and intersection markings, the frequency of checking shall be at the option of the project engineer. These thicknesses
shall be considered as the average of 2 or more measurements made in a
3 foot distance.
NOTE 1: The intent is not to extend the original warranty period.
NOTE 2: The warranty does not cover those markings that have been
removed by such devices as snowplows, chains or studded tires.
8. Observation Period - Prior to consideration or final acceptance of all work
completed as required herein and shown in the pavement marking plans,
there shall be a 90day observation period beginning upon the satisfactory
completion of all work required by the intermediate completion date
included elsewhere in this proposal form.
a) During the go-day observation period, the thermoplastic pavement
marking material furnished and installed under this contract shall
be warranted against failure due to blistering, excessive cracking,
bleeding, staining, discoloration, oil content of the pavement
materials, smearing or spreading under heat, deterioration due to
contact with grease deposits, oil diesel fuel, or gasoline drippings, shipping, spalling, poor adhesion to the pavement materials, loss of
reflectivity, vehicular damage, and wear.
b) The contractor, at no expense to the City, shall replace any
pavement markings that will not perform satisfactory under traffic
during the go-day observation period due to defective materials
and/or application methods. (Failure to comply with any portion of
this specification shall be considered as unsatisfactory
performance of the thermoplastic pavement marking material.
c) Marking replacement shall be performed in accordance with the
requirements specified herein for the initial application, including
but not limited to surface cleaning, pavement marking removal,
seasonal and weather limitations, etc.
d) Traffic shall be operating on the facility during the go-day
observation period.
