This study evaluated the performance of the following pavement marking materials on Portland cement concrete bridge decks: Waterborne traffic paint: Ennis fast dry waterborne traffic paint; Thermoplastic: Swarcotherm alkyd; Preformed thermoplastic: Premark Plus and Premark Contrast; Slow cure epoxy: IPS HPS-2, PolyCarb Mark 55.2, and Epoplex LS 60; Fast cure epoxy: PolyCarb Mark 55.4 and Epoplex LS 70; Polyurea: IPS HPS-5, PolyCarb Mark 75, and Epoplex Glomarc 90; Modified urethane: IPS HPS-4; Methyl methacrylate: Ennis Duraset 1 and Duraset Pathfinder; and High performance durable tapes: 3M 380WR ES, 3M 380WR-5 ES, and 3M 270 ES. The main objectives were to compare the performance evaluation results of these materials to milestone performance criteria, augment these results with performance data from the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP), estimate the service life of the pavement markings, and compare these materials based on their life cycle costs.
