“…Premium materials are compared with standard materials in terms of service life, costs, and environmental impact. For the assessment, analysed was not a one-time event of road marking application, but their series until the expected roadway surface renovation, which was assumed to be 10 years, as in the LCA [8,20].…”

“…According to two separate LCA performed according to ISO 14040 protocols [36] on thin layer road marking systems, the main impactor was not the selection of materials, but the overall durability of the systems [8,20]. While different types of road marking materials were reported as being better or worse in the separate LCA categories, the differences appeared insignificant as long as the same service life was achieved.…”

“…Based on reported results from field tests, high-performance waterborne road marking paint could be considered as the most sustainable solution because it could furnish a two-year durability whereas an aromatic solvent-containing solventborne paint failed within 6 months [8]. Simultaneously thin-layer cold plastic application was reported as better than a low-end waterborne or a solventborne paint because such paints provided lower service life [20]. These evaluations assumed that standard glass beads would be utilised in both cases.…”

Introduction: On majority of roads, horizontal road markings are essential safety feature that must be periodically renewed to maintain appropriate performance. Results: The use of a premium road marking system resulted in prolonged the service life as compared to a standard system, which would be financially-neutral in the long term despite much higher unit and initial costs; advantageously, 54% less glass beads and 63% less paint would be required over 10-year life cycle. When these products usage savings are recalculated into raw materials consumption, the premium system would demand about 21% more of titanium dioxide, but that would be offset by approximately 25% reduction in the consumption of acrylic resin and circa 97% reduction in organic solvents usage and emissions. Conclusions: The results from this analysis can be used by road administrators to select the best systems, by policy makers seeking minimisation of environmental impacts, and by contractors who won performance tenders.

“…The four major binder-based marking systems assessed were solvent-borne paint; water-based (WB) paint; thermoplastic and thermo spray plastic; methyl methacrylate cold plastic and methyl methacrylate cold spray plastic, also referred to as methyl methacrylate (Mirabedini et al, 2020;Hadizadeh et al, 2020;Cruz et al, 2016). Water-based roadmarking (WBRM) paints are environmentally friendly due to their water-based resin composition and low level of volatile organic compounds (VOC) (Fatemi et al, 2006;Burghardt and Pashkevich, 2018).…”

“…Improvements in roadway marking visibility have included streetlight design, alternative glass beads, LED markers, fluorescent materials, and now, phosphorescent materials (Nance and Sparks, 2020). The life cycle assessment results, considering the whole life cycle from manufacturing to disposal, showed that a global warming potential reduction of more than 50% can be achieved by a more durable road marking system (Cruz et al, 2016). The service life and photodegradation resistance of RM paint can be improved by using lignin addition.…”

Lignin-modified road marking paint: weathering aging studies

et al. 2021

The accelerated artificial aging with ultraviolet radiation, viscosity, density, no-pick-up time, flexibility, and abrasion resistance of lignin-modified road marking paint were evaluated. The addition of lignin did not cause significant changes in the physical chemistry, flexibility and no-pick-time test compared to the precursor paint. The addition of 1.00 wt. % of lignin increased the abrasion resistance by 36%. The Fourier Transform Infrared technique performed before and after exposure to Weather-o-meter aging chamber has shown the cleavage of ester groups that are present in acrylic-based resin. The incorporation of 0.10 wt.%, 0.25 wt.%, and 1.00 wt.% increased the photodegradation resistance of the road marking paint inhibiting the ester group and side-chain scissions, since the C-O and C=O band intensity increased after irradiation. The introduction of lignin delayed the yellowing of the aged samples and improved mechanical and photophysical properties besides being a good strategy for the biomass waste utilization of the paper industry.

The effect of acrylic silane crosslinker on room‐temperature cured acrylate binder for road markings

An acrylic binder with excellent physical properties is prepared using copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate monomer (BAM), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA), and additives. The obtained acrylic resins are subjected to a redox initiator system (ROIS) for room temperature curing. The effects of the TMSPMA concentration and [acryl-copolymer]/[2-HEMA] ratio on backbone content are studied in terms of traffic marking paint. The mechanical and morphological properties are thoroughly evaluated using universal testing machine (UTM), UV spectrum, and SEM. With increasing TMSPMA content, the adhesive strength and transmittance of the cured resins increase up to a limiting value of TMSPMA content because of the optimizing crosslink network in backbone structure. The introduction of TMSPMA may be effectively attributed to strong adhesive and high transparency of an acrylic resin series. Consequently, acrylic resins with optimal TMSPMA content can be mostly utilized as a highperformance binder in the traffic marking paint field.K E Y W O R D S acrylic resin, optimal TMSPMA content, polymer binder, room-temperature curing, traffic marking paint
