- Product Applications
- FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion can be applied with airless or conventional air-spray equipment to asphalt, concrete, or existing roadmarkings that are adhering well to the pavement surface.
- Air and surface temperature should be above 50°F and at least 5°F above the dew point during application.
- Paints will require longer drying times when the relative humidity exceeds 80% with minimal air flow.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Data
- Performance Advantages:
- Conventional waterborne films that exhibit enough surface dry to prevent the paint from being “picked-up” and tracked onto the road by traffic, may not be dry under the surface film.
- Waterborne traffic paints need to reach a surface dry and "dry-through" stage before they begin to withstand an early rain shower.
- Drying Performance:
- FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion and its predecessor FASTRACK™ 2706, will dry faster to "no pick-up" and "drythrough" than conventional waterborne polymers.
- The faster dry is particularly evident when the drying conditions are poor (high humidities, and low air flow and temperatures).
- Furthermore, fast "dry-through" characteristics of waterborne traffic markings based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion will make them much more resistant to damage from an early rain shower than those based on conventional waterborne polymers.
- Dry-to-no Pick-up Time:
- A white paint based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion was compared to a commercial solventborne traffic paint on the road for Auto-No-Track Time as specified in ASTM Method D-713.
- The paints were applied to a 15 mil wet thickness and glass beads were dropped onto the paint at a rate of 6 lbs. per gallon for a 4-in. wide line (275 grams/sq.m. of paint).
- The humidity was high (84% relative humidity) and there was only a slight breeze (2 - 4 mph).
- After only 35 seconds, a car passing over the waterborne marking based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion did not track paint on the road. Tracking was evident after 45 seconds with the fast-dry solventborne paint.
Dry-to-no Pick-up Road/Vehicle Test Road Temperature 60°F (16°C) Relative Humdity 84% Air Speed 2-4 mph (3 - 6 km/hr) Wet Film Thickness 15 mils (375 microns) Waterborne Acrylic FASTRACK™ 3427 Commercial Solventborne No tracking after 35 seconds Tracked for 60 feet after 45 seconds - Durability:
- The service life of traffic markings also depends on the marking having good wear properties.
- In road tests using transverse test lines to accelerate wear, waterborne markings based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion have shown excellent durability over both asphalt and concrete road surfaces in a variety of climates. FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion has improved wear characteristics compared to FASTRACK™ 2706.
- Glass Bead Retention:
- The visibility of traffic markings at night requires retention of the glass beads applied to that marking.
- Night visibility can be monitored with a retroreflectometer that measures the low angle reflectance of light off the beaded marking.
- The following data compare the loss of retroreflectivity of white waterborne traffic markings based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion with commercial solventborne markings based on alkyd resins (with and without chlorinated resin modification).
- Note that the waterborne fast-dry markings based on FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion retain their retroreflectance (hold onto reflective glass beads) considerably longer than the commercial solventborne traffic markings.
- FASTRACK™ 3427 Polymer Emulsion also shows improved bead retention over its predecessor, FASTRACK™ 2706.

Storage & Handling
- Handling Information
- Clean-up is accomplished with clean or soapy water to remove wet paint from equipment.
- Stainless steel equipment should be used, and typical paint solvents can assist if removal of dried paint from tools and equipment is necessary.
- All solvents and solventborne paint should be removed from tanks and spray equipment prior to handling waterborne paints to avoid contamination, and equipment should be cleaned after each use.
- An ammonia solution can be floated on the surface of stored paint to prevent skinning.
