ASTM D2205-20 PDF Download

The ASTM D2205-20 standard is a guide that provides instructions for the selection and implementation of tests for traffic paints. The standard covers both laboratory and field testing procedures.

The guide focuses on testing a specific type of traffic paint, which is a ready-mixed paint product of sprayable consistency. This paint is intended to be used as a reflecting traffic guide on paved roadways.

The standard specifies various test methods that should be followed, which include assessing the liquid paint properties, application and appearance properties, properties of the dried film, analysis of the paint, and field evaluations.

It is important to take into consideration certain conditions that can affect the performance of traffic paint, such as the type of substrate, climatic conditions, service density, traffic type, and the presence of foreign matter on the road surface. These conditions should be accounted for when conducting the tests and interpreting the results.
