The pavement marking material shall exhibit a no-tracking time of less than 10 minutes, when mixed in the proper ratio and applied at 20 ± 1.0 mil film thickness at 75 ± 2 F and with the proper saturation of beads when tested in conformance with D 711. The manufacturer shall furnish a table depicting typical no-track time versus various temperatures in the recommended application temperature range Glass Beads Physical Requirements. Glass beads shall be colorless, clean, transparent and free of milkiness or excessive air bubbles and essentially clean from surface scarring or scratching. The beads shall be spherical in shape, and shall contain a minimum of 60 percent silica. Roundness shall be 75 percent minimum when tested in conformance with D 1155, Procedure A. The beads shall have a minimum refractive index of 1.50 (Standard) and 1.90 (Large) when tested in conformance with MSMT 211. Glass beads shall not absorb moisture in storage and shall remain free of clusters or lumps. TS

76 SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONTRACT NO LEAD FREE EPOXY MARKING MATERIALS Glass beads shall conform to all the requirements of M 247, except that the moisture resistance and flotation tests shall not be required, and the following: GRADATION SIEVE SIZE PERCENT PASSING Standard Beads Large Beads 12 (1.70 mm) (1.40 mm) (1.18 mm) (1.00 mm) (0.85 mm) (0.60 mm) (0.30 mm) (0.15 mm) Field Testing. Materials conforming to this Specification shall be field evaluated at the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) Northeast test deck for performance. Materials performing satisfactorily throughout the test period will be placed on the Administrations Prequalified Materials List. All marking materials supplied during the Contract shall be identical in composition to the materials submitted for initial testing. Conformity with these requirements will be determined by the Office of Materials and Technology (OMT) Sampling. Random testing of samples will be performed by the Administration as Quality Assurance and certification verification. Samples of each batch will be procured at the manufacturer s facility by the Administration. Each sample shall be accompanied by a certified analysis showing compliance with the physical requirements of this Specification, the recommended epoxy resin material temperature at the spray gun, and certification that any epoxy resin material supplied during the Contract period shall be identical in composition to the material submitted for initial testing. Conformity to these requirements will be determined by OMT. Sources supplying epoxy resin materials and glass beads shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Engineer for approval in conformance with the Contract Documents. The epoxy resin material manufacturer shall reimburse the Administration for the cost of sampling and shipment of the samples if sampled by the Administration. (a) Epoxy Resin Components. The epoxy resin components shall be shipped in containers sealed by the manufacturer. The label on each container shall include the following information: TS

77 SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONTRACT NO LEAD FREE EPOXY MARKING MATERIALS (1) Manufacturer's Name, (2) Place of Manufacture, (3) Color of Material and Component Type, (4) Date of Manufacture (month-year), (5) Batch or Lot Identification Number, and (6) Size/quantity of lot represented. (b) Glass Beads. The glass beads shall be shipped in 50 lb, moisture resistant bags with complete identification information imprinted on the outside. The Contractor shall furnish samples of the glass beads and epoxy resin materials to the Administration's Central Laboratory. Physical testing will be performed every four months Certification. The Contractor shall furnish notarized certification as specified in TC The manufacturer shall certify that any epoxy resin materials supplied during the Contract conforms to the identical formulation as the samples submitted for evaluation on the NTPEP Northeast test deck, and identify the formulas by referring to the code used on the deck. Epoxy resin materials which fail to conform will be rejected. The manufacturer shall also provide the following: (a) Material Safety Data Sheets for all materials submitted for testing and use. (b) A facility, in operation, capable of producing the epoxy resin materials in the quantity and quality required by the Administration. (c) A laboratory capable of performing the required tests. This laboratory will be subject to the Administration s approval. TS
