TT-P-1952 Paint, Traffic And Airfield Marking, WaterborneThis specification covers three types of low VOC volatile organic compounds, ready-mixed, one-component, 100% acrylic waterborne airfield and traffic marking paint. The paint is suitable for application on such traffic-bearing surfaces as Portland cement concrete, bituminous cement concrete, asphalt, tar, and previously painted areas of these surfaces. The paint may be used either alone or to bind reflective beads.

3. REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 Composition.

3.1.1  Materials. The non-volatile portion of the vehicle for all types shall be composed of a 100% acrylic polymer as determined by infrared spectral analysis. The acrylic resin used for Type III shall be a 100% cross-linking acrylic as evidenced by infrared peaks at wavelengths 1568, 1624, and 1672 cm-1 with intensities equal to those produced by an acrylic resin known to be 100% cross-linking.

3.1.2  Prohibited material. The manufacturer shall certify that the product does not contain mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, toluene, chlorinated solvents, hydrolysable chlorine derivatives, ethylene-based glycol ethers and their acetates, nor any carcinogen, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.1200. When tested as specified in 4.3.1, the lead content shall not exceed 0.06 percent by weight of the dry film and the test for chromium content shall be negative.

3.2  Qualitative requirements.

3.2.1  Condition in the container. When tested, as specified in 4.3.2, the paint, as received, shall show no evidence of biological growth, corrosion of the container,

livering, or hard settling. The paint shall be dispersible by hand stirring for 5 minutes to a
