3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard the following terms and definitions applies.
3.1
paints
a liquid product containing suspended solids. It can be supplied in single or multicomponent systems. When
applied it produces a cohesive film by the process of solvent evaporation, or solvent evaporation and a chemical
reaction.
prEN 1871:2008 (E)
3.1.1
solvent Paints
solvent paints are liquid products containing solids and liquid additives suspended in an organic solvent. They can
be supplied in single or multi-component systems. The solids comprise are inorganic and/or organic fillers,
pigments and additives.
3.1.1.1
High Solid paints (HS)
High Solid paints are liquid products containing solids and liquid additives suspended in a solution of the binder in
an organic solvent. The content of solvents is limited to 25% weight by weight.
3.1.1.2
single-Component-High Solid paints (SCHS)
the cohesive film of a single-component High Solid is formed only by evaporation of the solvent and physical
curing.
3.1.1.3
multi-Component-High Solid paints (MCHS)
multi-component-High Solid paints consist of two or more components. The cohesive film is formed after mixing all
components by the evaporation of the solvent and a chemical reaction. The Application is possible within the pot-
life-time.
3.1.2
waterborne Paints
a liquid product containing suspended solids in an aqueous liquid. It can be supplied in single or multicomponent
systems. When applied it produces a cohesive film by the process of aqueous liquid evaporation and /or chemical
process
3.1.2.1
dispersions
dispersions are liquid or viscous products containing solids and liquid additives dispersed in an aqueous liquid. The
aqueous liquid consists of the binder polymers and mainly of water. The solids comprise inorganic and/or organic
fillers, pigments and additives. The content of volatile organic solvents is limited to 2 % weight by weight, the total
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight.
3.1.2.2
dispersion paints
the volatile component is mainly water. The content of organic solvents is limited to 2 % weight by weight, the total
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight.
The solid content is lower than 80 % weight by weight. The cohesive film of a Dispersion paint is produced by the
process of water evaporation.
3.1.2.3
high solid dispersions:
the volatile component of a High solid dispersion is mainly water with a content lower than 20 % weight by weight,
the content of solids is equal to or higher than 80 % weight by weight. The content of organic solvents is limited to 2
% weight by weight, the total amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is limited to 3 % weight by weight. The
cohesive film of a High-Solid dispersion is produced by the process of water evaporation and a chemical cross-
linking reaction.
3.2
cold plastics
cold plastics are viscous products supplied in two or multi-component forms (at least one main component and a
hardener system). They are free from solvents. The cohesive film is formed after mixing of all components only by
a chemical reaction. Following the reaction the liquid becomes a solid.
3.2.1
cold-Setting Reactive Materials (cold plastics)
cold plastics consist of a minimum of two components. One component contains a hardener and another
component the accelerator. Depending on the system the components are mixed in various ratios. The application
is only possible within the pot-life-time.
prEN 1871:2008 (E)
3.2.2
energy Induced Curing Materials (EICM)
ernergy induced curing materials produce a cohesive film under the influence of energy
(e.c. heat, UV-radiation).
3.3
thermoplastics
a solvent-free marking substance supplied in block, granular or powder forms. It is heated to a molten state and
then applied. It forms a cohesive film by cooling.
NOTE Additional materials to those described in 3.1 to 3.3 can include, if recommended by the manufacturer, primers
which are liquid products which may contain solids and liquid additives suspended in an organic solvent or in water. The solids
comprise inorganic and/or organic fillers, pigments and additives. The content of volatile organic solvents is not limited. Primers
are used to precoat road surfaces before the road marking system is applied. They improve the adhesion of the road marking
and protect against disintegration, discolouring etc. caused by incompatible compounds in the road surface.
4 Requirements
Samples representative of each component of the material shall be taken from storage in accordance with
ENV 13459-1.
The requirements and standard test methods are described in 4.1 to 4.3.
Alternative test methods may be used providing that:
- the resulting values are comparable to those obtained using the standard methods; and,
- the repeatability of the alternative methods, determined in accordance with ISO 5725-2, can be shown to
be not less than that of the methods given in this standard.
4.1 Paint
4.1.1 Chromaticity co-ordinates and luminance factor.
The daytime visibility of road marking paint shall be defined by the luminance factor β
