United States13.1.7 water wash-off resistance, nthe resistance of a trafficpaint line to partial or complete wash-out during a rain.4. Summary of Practice4.1 This standard pra

17、ctice involves preparing a series ofuniform thickness films of traffic paint on standard substrates.The films are allowed to dry over different time periods, andthen each paint film is subsequently tested with the water-wash-off test to determine the relative amount of coatingremaining at the end of

18、 the wash off period.5. Significance and Use5.1 After waterborne traffic paints are applied to a road,airstrip, or parking lot pavement, it is important that the paintfilms be sufficiently hardened, coalesced, or cured so they willnot be removed by rain. This practice can be used to determinethe rel

19、ative performance of binders and other componentswithin traffic paint for their effect on the water-wash offresistance of the coating. Some key elements of the coating thatmay affect water-wash-off performance are the quality and typeof latex binder, the dry time of the coating (often conducted byTe

20、st Method D711), pigment volume concentration (PVC), andthe relative water sensitivity of additives (for example, pigmentdispersants, and surfactants) in the coating.6. Apparatus and Equipment6.1 Paddle Type Viscometer, to measure viscosity (in Krebsunits) of the traffic paint prior to application.6

21、.2 Conditioning Room, to provide a constant standardenvironment of 23 6 2C (73.5 6 3.5F) and 50 6 5%relative humidity during film draw-downs and film drying.6.3 Conditioning Chamber, convenient to provide a constantstandard high humidity environment of 23 6 2C (73.5 63.5F) and 90 6 3 % relative humi

22、dity during film draw-downsand film drying.6.4 Graduated Cylinder, to determine and adjust water flowrate from faucet.6.5 Humidity Gauge, to record relative humidity during thedrying period.6.6 Thermometers, to record the air and water temperatures.6.7 Spatula, to mix the paint prior to application.

23、6.8 Glass Plates, for film draw-downs (see also option forcharts in 6.9).6.9 Draw-Down Chart, preferred option for film draw-downs. Black Scrub Test Panels are preferred and can be cut inhalf to give two test panels of 16.5 by 21.6 cm (612 by 812 in.)size. Use of these charts instead of a glass plat

24、e allows for apermanent record of the test results.6.10 Film Applicator (15 cm (6 in.) width, to obtain 0.38mm (15 mil) wet thickness for standard traffic paints or 0.64mm (25 mil) wet thickness for durable traffic paints.6.11 Wet Film Gauge, to measure wet film thickness.6.12 Sink with combined hot

25、 and cold tap water faucet, toapply water stream onto test panel film during the waterwash-off testing.6.13 Lab Jack, to support the applied paint film, and tocontrol distance from the water nozzle.6.14 Timer, to time the film-drying and the water wash-offperiods.6.15 Camera, to record the image of

26、the panel after comple-tion of the test.7. Reagents7.1 Tap Water (Cold)applied to the film preferably with astandard nozzle, at controlled flow rate, controlled watertemperature, and constant distance from the test paint films.7.2 Acetoneto clean glass plates prior to application (notneeded for draw

27、-down charts since they are not reused).8. Procedure8.1 Paint Consistency:8.1.1 Determine the Krebs (KU) viscosity of the paint inaccordance with Test Method D562 using a paddle-typeviscometer as prescribed by Test Method D562. This determi-nation is optional but can be important since the dry time

28、of thetraffic paint and water wash-off performance can be affected bythe paint viscosity.8.2 Application of Paint Films:8.2.1 For most consistent results and for testing undercontrolled conditions, it is recommended that paint film draw-downs be applied and allowed to dry in a controlledtemperature/

29、controlled humidity (CTCH) room and/or in asmall conditioning chamber. The conditioning chamber isconvenient for high humidity testing. Standard conditions areshown in 6.2 and 6.3 respectively. Select the appropriatedraw-down bar to obtain the desired film thickness. A 0.38 mm(15 mil) wet film thick

30、ness is typical for standard-line trafficpaints, and a 0.64 mm (25 mil) wet film thickness is typical fordurable traffic paints. The film thickness determination shouldbe made in advance using Practice D823 by making a series ofdraw-downs with different applicator gaps and measuring thewet-film thic

31、kness of each using Test Method D1212 or TestMethod D4414. The actual wet film thickness is often muchlower than the indicated film applicator gap, for example, a 25mil gap may produce a 15 mil wet film thickness. Dry filmthickness can optionally be determined using Test MethodD1005. Clean a series

32、of four glass plates with acetone, oroptionally use the preferred black draw-down charts for thefilm draw-downs.Allow the glass plates or charts to equilibrateto room temperature. Place about 10 ml of paint on the topcenter of the glass plate or draw-down chart and drag thedraw-down bar over the pai

33、nt to produce a coating of uniformthickness. Immediately start a timer for each film drawn-down,and allow the films to dry undisturbed for the designated timeperiod. Let one film dry for exactly 15 min., one for 30 min.,one for 45 min., and one for 60 min. At the end of each drytime period, the wate

34、r wash-off test is conducted on the paintfilm (see 8.3).8.3 Running Water Wash-Off Test:8.3.1 Select a sink deep enough for the wash-off test with aminimum of 40 cm (16 in.) distance from the faucet nozzle tobottom of sink. Place a lab jack in the sink and adjust the heightD7377 09 (2013)2from the p

35、latform to the water faucet nozzle to keep thedistance constant. A distance of 30.5 cm (12 in.) is standard.This adjustment is important particularly if different sinks areused for the test. The drain should remain unobstructed so thatthe sink does not fill with water during the test. Turn both thec

36、old and hot water faucets on, and adjust the flow rate andwater temperature to 5.7 L/min (1.5 gal/min) and 25Crespectively. The flow rate can be determined using a graduatedcylinder to measure the volume over a fixed period of time. Thestandard nozzle opening is 1.0 cm (0.40 in.). Any deviationfrom

37、nozzle size, flow rate, or water temperature will givedifferent results and should be recorded if not standard. A flowregulator to control the water pressure may be helpful toprovide the correct predetermined flow rate.8.3.2 When the dry time is expired for a paint test film andwith the water flow/t

38、emperature already adjusted, place theglass panel or draw-down chart on the lab jack. Move thefaucet over the panel with the flow impinging on the center ofthe paint film and immediately start the timer. Watch the paintfilm and record the time it takes for the water to break throughthe film. Allow t

39、he film to remain under the flow of water fora full 5 min. and then remove it. Note any blistering orsoftening of the remaining paint film. At the appropriate times,test the remaining film panels in similar fashion. A camera canbe used to obtain a picture for a comparative record of the testresults.

40、 The black chart substrates are particularly good forcontrast of the area washed off (black substrate will showthrough) with the remaining white or yellow paint films. Ifglass panels are used, they can be placed on a black substratefor similar contrast. For clean-up of glass plates, run the platesun

41、der hot water to loosen the film and then scrape the paint offwith a razor blade scraper. The draw-down charts can simplybe discarded or retained for visual record.8.4 Relative Running Water Wash-Off Performance for aTest Series, see Fig. 1.9. Report9.1 The following ideally should be recorded when

42、usingthis practice:9.1.1 Viscosity of the paint in Krebs Units (KU),9.1.2 Drying conditions (temperature and humidity), wetfilm thickness, and dry times for each draw-down,9.1.3 Water temperature, distance to panel, and water flowrate, and9.1.4 Relative water wash-off performance comparisons fora gi
