Final Performance Report on Experimental Use of Thermoplastic Pavement-Striping Materials
Hot-extruded thermoplastic striping was evaluated by means of field tests at nine different sites including bituminous and portland cement concrete surfaces. Performance and the relative economics of the material was compared to conventional paint over a period of up to 7 years. The durability of thermoplastic was excellent on bituminous surfaces and good to poor on concrete surfaces. Epoxy primers provided greater bond to concrete than rubber-based primers, but were not capable of promoting good bond where surface laitance conditions existed. It is generally concluded that thermoplastics may prove economical when placed on bituminous surfaces with high volumes of traffic. Service life would probably be governed more by the frequency of resurfacing rather than performance. It would be necessary to place greater emphasis on factors other than durability in order to justify use of thermoplastics on portland cement concrete surfaces, regardless of traffic densities thereon.
