(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Solvent and Fuel Resistance of Traffic Paint
Standard Test Method for Solvent and Fuel Resistance of Traffic Paint
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Traffic paints must have good resistance to motor oil and fuel drippings on the highway. This test method describes the procedure necessary to measure the resistance of traffic paint to reference test fluids in order to simulate this type of action.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes a laboratory test for determining the resistance of a dried film of traffic paint to the action of a specified hydrocarbon solvent or gasoline fuel test fluid.
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.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 The test paint is applied to a specified, properly prepared, tin panel. After aging, the coated panel is immersed in the
hydrocarbon test fluid for a specified period of time at a specified temperature. The paint is examined for blistering, wrinkling, and
loss of adhesion immediately upon removal and for complete hardness after a specified recovery time.

6.1 Test Liquid—The testing liquid shall be specified by the purchaser and shall be selected from the following, dependent on
the paint tested:
6.1.1 Type I of Federal Specification TT-S-735 which is the same as ASTM Reference Fuel A (Test Method D471).
6.1.2 Type III of Federal Specification TT-S-735 which is the same as ASTM Reference Fuel B (Test Method D471).
7. Procedure
7.1 Clean the tin panels thoroughly with a suitable solvent, and buff lightly with fine steel wool. Prepare at least 3 panels for
each paint to be tested.
This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility of
