SECTION 842 - PAVEMENT STRIPING PAINT
842.01 DESCRIPTION. This section covers quick-drying waterborne acrylic pavement
striping paint for permanent applications.
842.02 GENERAL. Select waterborne acrylic paint that conforms to the composition
requirements below. Annually provide independent analysis data and certification for each formulation stating the total concentration of each heavy metal present, the test method used for each determination, and compliance to 40 CFR 261 for leachable heavy metals content. Submit initial samples per formulation for approval before beginning striping operations on a yearly basis. The initial sample may be sent from the manufacturer of the paint. PAINT COMPOSITION Property and Test Method Yellow White Daytime Color (CIELAB) Spectrophotometer using illuminant D65 at 45º illumination and 0º viewing with a 2º observer L* 81.76 a* 19.79 b* 89.89 Maximum allowable variation 4.0 ∆E* L* 93.51 a* -1.01 b* 0.70 Maximum allowable variation 4.0 ∆E* Nighttime Color (CIELAB) Spectrophotometer using illuminant A at 45º illumination and 0º viewing with a 2º observer L* 86.90 a* 24.80 b* 95.45 Maximum allowable variation 4.0 ∆E* L* 93.45 a* -0.79 b* 0.43 Maximum allowable variation 4.0 ∆E* Heavy Metals Content Comply with 40 CFR 261 Comply with 40 CFR 261 TiO 2 ASTM D 4764 NA 10% by wt. of pigment min. VOC ASTM D 2369 and D 4017 1.25-lb/gal max. 1.25-lb/gal max. Contrast Ratio (at 15 mils wft.) 0.98 0.99
842.03 MANUFACTURER’S TESTING. Perform testing for Daytime and Nighttime
Color, Contrast Ratio, Titanium Dioxide (white paints) and Volatile Organic Content (VOC) on each lot of waterborne acrylic paint to be delivered for use on projects.
842.04 SAMPLING. The Department will obtain samples of waterborne acrylic paint
for compliance testing to the requirements of this section in accordance with the Department’s Materials Field Sampling Manual.
842.05 CERTIFICATION. Submit manufacturer’s certification stating conformance to
the requirements of this section for each shipment of waterborne acrylic paint delivered for use on projects. Clearly state the manufacture r, product name, product code, lot number(s), expiration date, color, sampling method, test results of manufacturer required testing, and quantity delivered.
842.06 ACCEPTANCE. The Department will accept waterborne acrylic paint based on
compliance of the manufacturer’s certification and conformance of test results obtained by the Department to the requirements of this section.
842.07 Acceptance Procedures for Non-Specification
PAVEMENT STRIPING PAINT. When non-specification paint is inadvertently incorporated into the work the Department will accept the material with a reduction in pay. The percentage deduction is cumulative based on its compositional properties, but will not exceed 60 percent. The Department will calculate the payment reduction on the unit bid 842-1 price for the routes where the non-specification paint was used. Do not accept waterborne acrylic paint with a Daytime or Nighttime color variation greater than 6.0 ΔE* or if the cumulative deduction exceeds 60 percent.

843.01 DESCRIPTION. This section covers requirements for geotextile fabrics for slope
protection and channel lining, underdrains, subgrade or embankment foundation stabilization, and drainage blankets.
843.02 GEOTEXTILE FABRIC. Geotextiles shall meet the physical and chemical
requirements of AASHTO M 288 (2015) for the specific applications, except as modified in the subsequent sections. Ensure that the fabric, except wrapping placed directly against perforated pipe, is formed in widths of at least 6 feet. When necessary, sew sheets of fabric together to form required fabrics widths. Sew the sheets of fabric together at the point of manufacture or other approved locations. The geotextile manufacturer or supplier (private label) is responsible for establishing and maintaining a quality control program to ensure compliance with this section. The manufacturer or supplier must pa rticipate in the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) for Geotextile and Geosynthetics. Current data must be posted in NTPEP DataMine.
843.03 ACCEPTANCE. Select geotextiles from the Department’s List of Approved
Materials. Obtain the Department’s approval for all material before incorporating it into the project.
843.04 PACKAGING. During all periods of shipment and storage, wrap the fabric in a
heavy duty protective covering to protect the fabric from direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays, mud, dirt, dust, and debris. Additionally, stor e the fabric so that temperatures are below 140 ˚F.
843.05 GEOTEXTILE FABRIC FOR SLOPE PROTECTION, CHANNEL LINING, AND STABILIZATION. Fabric used for slope protection, channel lining and stabilization
shall meet AASHTO M 288 Class 1 strength requirements and conform to AASHTO M 288 section on permanent erosion control, with the exception of the minimum permittivity value being 1.0 sec -1.
843.06 GEOTEXTILE FABRIC FOR SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE AND SEPARATION. Fabric used for subsurface drainage and separation shall conform to
AASHTO M 288 Class 1 or 2 strength requirements and conform to AASHTO M 288 section on subsurface drainage requirement s, with the exception of the minimum permittivity value being 1.0 sec -1.
843.07 Acceptance Procedure for Non-Specification Fabric.
Ensure that all geotextile fabric conforms to the requirements of this section and the proposed application. However, when non-specification geotextile fabric is inadvertently incorporated into the work before completion of testing, the Department may accept the material with reduction in pay, provided the failure is marginal and will not cause poor performance. The Department will apply the largest payment reduction when the material fails to meet more than one specification requirement. The Department will calculate the payment reduction on the invoice cost of the material delivered at the project site. The Department will reject any fabric that fails and has not been incorporated into the work.
