ASTM D2792-17 PDF Download

The ASTM D2792-17 standard outlines a laboratory procedure for evaluating the resistance of traffic paint to the action of specific hydrocarbon solvents or gasoline fuel test fluids. It is important for traffic paints to withstand motor oil and fuel drippings on highways, and this standard provides a method to simulate this type of exposure.

The practice involves determining the resistance of a dried film of traffic paint to the specified reference test fluids. This allows for an assessment of the paint's ability to withstand the potential effects of these solvents and fuels. By conducting this test, manufacturers and users of traffic paints can ensure that the paint will maintain its integrity and performance even in the presence of such substances.
