708.2 Materials

A. Requirements

1. Ingredients

The Engineer shall approve all paint ingredients. Mix the paints in the proportions specified in this section for each kind of paint. The formulas given represent the proportions by weight of the materials to be used.

2. Condition of Mixed Paints Ensure that mixed paints do not liver or curdle, and that the pigments remain in suspension to a reasonable degree satisfactory to the Engineer.

3. Filling and Packaging The manufacturer shall strain paints before filling the containers. The manufacturer also shall ship paints in strong, substantial containers (according to QPL 46) plainly marked with the paint name and number, color, volume, manufacturer name and address, date of manufacture, and the manufacturer’s lot number on every package. The inspection stamp on the paint container will be evidence of approval. Traffic line paint manufactured for the Department shall be delivered in 55 gallon (208 L) drums. The manufacturer shall stencil on the head of each drum the kind of paint, requisition number, purchase order number, and gross and net weights. Ensure that the drums are the removable head types.

4. Finished Paints Unless otherwise specified, deliver paints to the Project or the Department completely mixed and ready for use without adding oils or thinner. Use well ground paints that do not settle or badly cake in the container, and can readily be broken up to a smooth, uniform paint with good brushing consistency. When brushed or rolled on a smooth, vertical surface, the paint shall dry hard and elastic without running, streaking, sagging, or spotting. Use paint for spray application that sprays satisfactorily and does not run, sag, or streak. The first coat of paint applied in the shop or in the field to uncoated structural steel or wood is called the primer coat. The paint covering the primer coat is called the second coat, and the paint covering the second coat is called the third coat.

B. Fabrication The formulas given in this specification represent proportions by weight.

C. Acceptance

1. Testing Test methods for paint analyses shall be according to the Federal Test Methods, Standard No. 141 or the ASTM standard methods of tests for paint.

2. Color Match color visually by comparing with standard color chips obtained from the Office of Materials and Research.

3. Inspection Inspection and analysis will be made at the point of manufacture according to SOP 14. The manufacturer shall assist as necessary, permit the Inspector to test the ingredients before the paint is made, and witness the paint grinding. The Department reserves the right to sample and test all paint at any time before it is used.

4. Tolerances The Department will accept a tolerance of 1 percent of the required value for the paint formulation and property requirements. EXCEPTION: This tolerance does not apply where maximum and minimum values are noted.

D. Materials Warranty The following people shall furnish the Department a certificate of analysis and manufacturer’s guarantee:

· The manufacturer of each brand of paint submitted for acceptance under these Specifications

· All Contractors proposing to use any paint specified in this Section

Ensure that the certificate of analysis shows the paint trade name to be furnished, including a facsimile of the label if the paint is ready-mixed, and an analysis showing the percentage of each of the chemical elements and compounds in the pigment and vehicle. The guarantee shall assert that all paint furnished conforms to the analysis shown on the certificate filed and to the statement of percentages of ingredients shown on the labels, which are required to be on each container. The guarantee shall be sworn to by a person having authority to bind the manufacturer into an agreement.
