Summary of Test

22、 Method4.1 Thermoplastic trafficpavement marking material is prepared for the described test methods by melting a sample to itsapplication temperature under continuous agitation. The specimen is then poured into round patties on a non-stick surface such asa baking pan. The patties are then broken in

23、to pieces for ignition in a muffle furnace. The percent binder is calculated from theashed specimen and the specimen. The various tests for retroreflective optics, non-retroreflective particles, titanium dioxide, andlead chromate pigment can be performed later on the ashed residue. Determining the b

24、inder content of organic pigment containingthermoplastic may not be as straight forward. Specimen selection and preparation are the same for eacheither sample tested.type.5. Significance and Use5.1 The function of these test methods is to define the percent of binder and retroreflective optics or no

31、ctured in a wide variety of viscosities at 218C. Some viscosities are so lowthat the retroreflective optics settle quickly. In order to prevent any settlement during the sampling process, removing the test sample at a lowertemperature is warranted. Some thermoplastic test samples are best poured as

32、low as 160C (320F) as long as they can flow into patties.9.2 Flow the sample out on a smooth clean non-stick surface and allow it to cool to room temperature. Patties approximately3 mm (18 in.) thick are usually easy to break upinto specimens for the described analysis.9.3 Break the specimen into sm

33、all pieces and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg into a weighed crucible that is at least twice thevolume of specimen. The binder test can be done on samples as small as 10 g (0.353 g) and be effective.

Pe

35、rcent Binder10.1 InterferencesIf yellow organic-pigment-containing road marking thermoplasticthermoplastic pavement marking samplesare ashed, the organic pigment may begin to degrade; therefore increasing the binder results. If the theoretical amount of organicpigment content of the sample is known

36、and an assumption can be made as to whether some or all the organic pigment hasdegraded (depending on its degradation temperature), temperature and the amount of filler in the pigment), then that amount canbe accounted for in the calculation in Eq 1.10.2 ProcedureWeigh the crucible and ash (see Sect

37、ion 9) to the nearest 0.1 mg and calculate the percent binder D as follows:D 51 2 S W! 3 100 (1)where:S = ashed weight of thermoplastic specimen, g, (crucible + ash wt.) crucible wt.W = weight of thermoplastic specimen, g, (crucible + thermoplastic specimen) crucible wt.where:S = ashed weight of the

38、rmoplastic specimen, g, (crucible + ash wt.) crucible wt.W = weight of thermoplastic specimen, g, (crucible + thermoplastic specimen) crucible wt.11. Percent Retroreflective Optics (RO) or Non-retroreflective Particles (NRP) using Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)11.1 Procedure:11.1.1 Weigh the crucible and a

39、sh (see Section 9) to 0.1 mg and calculate the percent ash.11.1.2 After the ashed material has been weighed, transfer the ash to a 400-mL beaker or other acid-proof container and withminimal pressure, break apart the ashed specimen without crushing the retroreflective optics.11.1.3 Add to the ash ap

40、proximately 50 to 150 mL (1.7 to 5 oz.) of cold 1 + 1 HCL and stir occasionally until most of theeffervescence has ceased. (WarningThis is best performed under a vented hood. Also, this procedure can be performed usingwarmed HCL but is not necessary.)11.1.4 Immediately Once the solution has stopped

41、effervescing, dilute the contents with as much water as possible to allow theRO or NRP to settle. Decant the water and particulate carefully so as not to lose RO or NRP.11.1.5 If all the ash residue has not gone into solution, reintroduce HCL solution and stir. Continuous agitation can best beachiev

42、ed with a magnetic stirring bar and magnetic stirrer. Stirring with a spatula can achieve similar results.D4797 17311.1.6 Continue adding HCL or diluting with water and decanting until the water is clear.only beads and clear water are left inthe cup/beaker.11.1.7 Then transfer Transfer the residue i

43、nto a weighed 3-in. 45-m (No. 325) sieve or a Buchner funnel containing a weighedcorrugated coffee filter and wash with enough cold water to remove any residue. If the RO or NRPdo not appear clean, you shouldthen repeat the acid washing process.11.1.8 Dry the sides and the bottom of the sieve with a

44、 paper towel and dry for 1 hour in a gravity oven preheated to 100C(212F). If using a Buchner funnel and coffee filters, a vacuum can be pulled on the system to evacuate the water and then theRO/NRP-containing-filters can be dried in a oven or microwave oven.11.1.9 Place the sieve or coffee filter i

45、n a desiccator and cool to room temperature.11.1.10 Weigh the sieve/filter and HCLinsoluble particles (RO or NRP) to 0.1 mg and calculate the percent as follows (see Note2):NOTE 2Most road marking thermoplastic-ashed-residue thermoplastic pavement marking ashed residue which is insoluble in HCL is a

47、ticles obtained during the test to determinethe qualitative composition of the material. Include in the report the qualitative composition of the residue. For example, the HCLinsoluble particles obtained from this test are composed of 100 % retroreflective optics, or the HCL insoluble particles obta

48、inedfrom this test are composed of both retroreflective optics and non-retroreflective particles.12. Precision and Bias312.1 The precision of this test method is based on an interlaboratory study of ASTM D479712, Standard Test Methods forGravimetric Analysis of White and Yellow Thermoplastic Traffic

49、 Marking, conducted in 2012. Seven laboratories participated inthe study, testing four different thermoplastic materials. Every analyst was instructed to report four replicate test results in thisstudy. Practice E691 was followed for the study design; the details are given in ASTM Research Report No. RR:D01-1166.12.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtained within one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if they differ bymore than the “r” value for that material; “r” is the interval representing the critical
