ASTM D7377 : 08

Standard Practice for Evaluating the Water Wash-Off Resistance of Traffic Paints

Standard Details

1.1 A newly applied traffic paint film may be exposed to rain of varying intensities shortly after application. This practice was designed to determine the relative water wash-off resistance of an applied traffic paint film under controlled conditions. This test can be used to compare conventional and fast-dry traffic paints and the binders used in them for their relative ability to withstand rain soon after application on roadway surfaces.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
