The test areas are allowed to cool slightly and then

18、three 1.6 in. (40.6 mm) diameter heated loading fixtures arelaid on the test areas. The samples are then allowed to cureovernight before determining the bond strength on a tensiletesting device.5. Significance and Use5.1 The function of this test method is to provide numericalinstrumental results in

19、dicating the cohesive and/or adhesivebond strength of thermoplastic pavement marking to a speci-fied cement brick substrate.5.2 The use of this test method allows the user and manu-facturer to control the quality of the product and makeinferences about the performance of the thermoplastic pave-ment

20、marking product. Results from these tests also provideinformation helpful in researching and developing thermoplas-tic pavement marking materials.5.3 The method has been revised to be more consistent tomethodology in otherASTM bond methods for coatings in TestMethods D4541, D5179, and D7234.5.4 Stri

21、ct adherence to the procedures outlined is necessaryfor precision of the test method. Under no conditions shouldthe bond strength be accepted unless there is conformance tothe method.6. Types of Separation in Bond Strength Tests6.1 Thermoplastic to Loading Fixture SeparationThistype of separation oc

22、curs when:(a) an insufficient coverage of the thermoplastic to thefixture at time of placement,(b) material or jig temperature is too low.These type of separations are acceptable when the the resultsexceed the specified bond strength.6.2 Thermoplastic to Thermoplastic SeparationThis typeof separatio

23、n is caused by internal cohesive failure of thethermoplastic. This separation is acceptable when it exceedsthe specified bond strength.6.3 Thermoplastic to Cement Brick SeparationThis typeof separation is caused by the failure of the bond between thethermoplastic specimen and the cement brick. This

24、separationis acceptable when it exceeds the specified bond strength.6.4 Cement Brick to Cement BrickThis type of separationis caused by the internal cohesive failure of the brick. This isdue, in most cases, to a bond between the thermoplastic andcement brick that exceeds the cohesive strength of the

25、 cementbrick. This separation is not acceptable when the bond strengthvalues are lower than specified.7. Apparatus7.1 Loading Fixture (three), 1.6 in. (40.6 mm) diameter 2 sqin.

Home improvement paving bricks usually do not have enoughcohesive strength. Concrete bricks conforming to

27、Test Method C109/C109M have been used but proved more variable due to migration of athin veneer of cement to the top of the brick making determinationserratic.
