Transcription

1 3 Linear Delineation System Series 340 Product Bulletin 340 April 2011 Description The 3M Linear Delineation System is intended for the linear reflectorization of concrete barriers and metal guardrails. Linear delineation system panels are fabricated from 3M Diamond Grade Reflective Sheeting, and are laminated onto a thin gauge of aluminum and formed to a unique shape, which provides retroreflection across a very wide range of entrance and observation angles. The 1.5-inch linear delineation system panels are designed for use on guardrail and concrete barrier application. These panels include pre-applied 3M VHB tape on the back side. The panels can easily be installed onto the guardrail in the trough (or W ) groove. Linear delineation system panels can be used in a variety of applications including bridge abutments, concrete or metal pillars and posts and utility boxes. 3M recommends testing surface for proper adhesion. See Technical Bulletin, Surface Preparation for 3M TM VHB TM Tape Applications. All panels have a standard length of 34 inches (36 inches is the actual length of the panel prior to formation). Color White Fluorescent Yellow Fluorescent Orange Red Available Sizes 1.5, 4, 6 inch 1.5, 4, 6 inch 4, 6 inch 4, 6 inch Linear delineation system panels will provide continuous linear delineation by installing the panels edge to edge. If linear delineation system panels are spaced for day or night contrast, 3M recommends a spacing of 18 inches between each panel, especially into and around a curve, such as a cloverleaf entrance. If linear delineation system panels are spaced on a barrier or guardrail, running parallel with traffic, space should be at a maximum of 36 inches between panels. For example, on a typical 10-foot concrete barrier, two linear delineation system panels are recommended at a spacing of 18 inches (see Figure 2).

3 Installation Procedures Product Installation Requirements Note: It is the responsibility of the installer to contact a 3M sales representative or 3M technical service representative whenever there is a question regarding application procedures or substrate conditions ( ). Concrete Barriers To assure a straight level application, snapping a chalkline is recommended. (see Figure 3). FIGURE 3 Mark for top edge of LDS Marking the application area To avoid dirt, snow, salt and road grime, installing the linear delineation system panel near the top of the barrier is recommended. (see Figure 4). Application Instructions on Concrete 3M VHB Tape Method VHB Acrylic Foam Tape 5962 is a double-coated (1.55mm) pressure sensitive adhesive tape for bonding a wide range of substrates, including concrete. 3M TM Spray 90 Adhesive must be used to unify the surface and improve the tape bond. Note: Spray 90 must dry or cure for 15 minutes (tacky to finger touch) before VHB application Application to concrete surface that has excessive grime, oil, grease or loose paint is not recommended. Ensure surface is clean, dry and free from dust, oil or grease before application of linear delineation system panels. Application temp: 50 F (10 C) and rising Remove surface dirt with wire brush from concrete surface High velocity air must be used to remove any loose particles or dust Pre-cut strips of VHB tape can be used to apply panels to concrete substrate. Both 6 and 4 inch strips are available and can be purchased from 3M. Apply 3M TM Spray 90 or other recommended adhesive primer to surface where VHB tape will be applied Remove backing from VHB tape and press linear delineation system panels firmly into place (avoid pressing in raised surface of panel). Roller or adequate hand pressure must be applied to the linear delineation system panel at the VHB surface point. Pre-punched holes Edge hemmed FIGURE 4 Using a black marking pen, mark where the panels will be mounted on the barrier (see Figure 5). VHB strips Anchor Bolt Method Once the barriers are marked for location, drill holes with a rotary hammer drill with a concrete drill bit. The linear delineation system panels are predrilled and can be used as individual drilling jig fixtures for concrete application (see Figure 6). Anchor bolts FIGURE 5 Mark location for anchor bolts or VHB application 2 FIGURE 6 Use a power drill

4 After drilling, hammer in 1/4" x 1" stainless steel anchors (such as Hilti Stainless Steel Metal Hit Anchor 304 (Model #230520/9). Be sure to use a 5/16" nylon washer with each anchor, other than the Hilti anchor mentioned above. The Hilti anchors are removable, if necessary. Note: It is helpful to use an adhesive caulking system (similar to the 3M Windo-Weld Super Fast Urethane mentioned in the guardrail section) to aid in the alignment of the panels to the chalk line, prior to drilling through the pre-drilled linear delineation system holes. The Windo-Weld Urethane will adhere fast at temperatures ranging from 60 F to 100 F. The Windo-Weld Urethane can only be used with linear delineation system panels on concrete in conjunction with the Hilti anchoring system. Note: Other anchor systems, including drilling (mechanical fasteners) or concrete epoxy systems, can be used to attach linear delineation system panels to concrete. The end user is responsible to test durability and strength of the anchor or epoxy. Application Instructions on Standard Galvanized Metal Guardrails Application of 1.5-inch panels Panel Width - The 1.5-inch wide linear delineation system panels will fit your guardrail properly. Panel Positioning - Check on spacing recommendations. Mark the area on the guardrail where the linear delineation system panels will be installed. Spacing distances may vary depending upon configuration and construction of the guardrail (see Figure 7). Where possible avoid application over bolt heads and seams to ensure best possible adhesion to guardrail surface. Once guardrail is clean and dry, apply panels with VHB tape by removing the liner from tape and pressing panel firmly to guardrail. Avoid pressing in raised area of panel. Application with Brackets Bracket Size - Two styles of brackets are available and can be purchased from 3M. The brackets must be matched to fit the exact 4-inch or 6-inch wide linear delineation system panels. The brackets are packaged 150 each to a carton and labeled LDS-4B for 4-inch brackets and LDS-6B for 6-inch brackets. End user must use three brackets per panel on either 4-inch or 6-inch LDS styles (see Figure 9). 4" Bracket 6" Bracket FIGURE 9 Bracket Size Size Linear delineation system Panel and Bracket Mounting - For mounting the 3M brackets to the guardrail and the linear delineation system panels to the brackets, 3M recommends the use of 3M Windo-Weld Super Fast Urethane (#08609).* This product is stocked at most local general Automotive Supply Stores. The product is available in a standard caulking tube and should be applied to the brackets and panels with a construction style caulking gun. The Windo-Weld urethane must be applied at 60F + in dry weather conditions. One tube of Windo-Weld caulk will adhere 10 linear delineation system panels and 30 linear delineation system brackets of either 4-inch or 6- inch styles (see Figure 10). FIGURE 7 Mark for location (end to end) Surface Preparation and Cleaning - With the guardrail properly marked for installation, use a wire brush to clean surface dirt from application area (see Figure 8). Lightly clean guardrail with rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. Allow alcohol to dry before application. FIGURE 10 Apply adhesive to bracket Mounting 3M Brackets Note: Guardrails should be dry, without rain in the forecast for at least 8 hours after the Windo-Weld caulk is applied for the linear delineation system installation. FIGURE 8 Clean area for application (wire brush) 3 *Other epoxy and adhesive systems can be used to mount brackets and linear delineation system panels to the guardrails, but the end user is responsible to test the durability and strength of the epoxy type system they use.

5 Finished panels can provide continuous linear delineation by installing panels edge to edge (as shown in Figure 11) or if desired, may be spaced at an 18-inch distance apart along the guardrail.

Recessed grooving allows the pavement marker to be installed below the pavement surface, which helps protect the marker from snowplow damage. Note: Follow the application instructions for bitumen or two-part epoxy adhesives (see Information Folder Pavement Surface Preparation and Application Procedures for 3M Markers) to assist in marker installation after grooving is completed. Pavement Grooving Specifications The following procedures have been used and found to be acceptable. 1. Cutting Head - Gang stacked. 1/4-1/2 inch (1.25cm) wide diamond tipped cutting blades are recommended to produce the best finished grooved surface. The spacers between each blade must be placed correctly, so the rise in the finished groove between the blades is 10 mil or less. 2. Groove width - Marker width plus 1/2 inch (1.3cm) + 1/8 inch (.32cm). 3. Groove depth - Tapered to a depth of 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) minimum. Typically, the range of depth for the groove is between 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) and 0.90 inches (2.3 cm). The height of the marker plus adhesive pad should not exceed the top of the pavement surface. The slope of the groove is 1.0 degree and the length of the ramp to the application surface is 42 inches (1.07 m) (See Figures 1, 2, and 3). 4. Application surface - The marker application area of the groove must have a smooth/flat surface that is a minimum of 6 inches (15.2cm) long for a one-way application and a minimum of 7.5 inches (19.1 cm) for a two-way application (Figure 4). If a coarse tooth pattern is present, increase the number of blades and decrease the number of spacers on the cutting head. 42" Traffic For two-way marker, 6.0" (15.2 cm) Length Minimum Traffic 42" For one-way marker, 7.5" (19.1 cm) Length Minimum 42" Figure 4: Lengths of flat surfaces at the bottom of the recessed grooves for marker applications.

7 5. Grooving speed - Speed will vary with width of the groove, size of application, and equipment being used. 6. Groove position - The recommended position of the groove is a minimum of 2 inches (5cm) from the edge of the longitudinal seam. 7. Groove cleaning - If cooling the blades with water is necessary, flush the groove with water immediately after grooving to clean the surface. Allow the groove surface to dry completely (24 hour minimum dry time) before marker application. Marker Application Procedure Summary The following is a summary of the guidelines for marker application. Follow the application instructions for Pavement Surface Preparation and Application Procedures for 3M Markers (Information Folder 290). Series 290 markers are designed for application to properly prepared asphalt or Portland cement concrete surfaces using recommended bitumen or two-part epoxy adhesives.

12 Markers Series 290 Pavement Surface Preparation and Application Procedures Information Folder 290 August 2010 Replaces IF 290 dated March 2006 Description This information folder contains pavement surface preparation and application procedures for 3M Markers Series 290. For situations not specifically covered in this folder, it is the responsibility of the installer to contact the appropriate 3M sales representative or 3M technical service representative at for guidance. Instructions contained in this folder must be followed for proper application and performance. Application Guidelines Series 290 markers are designed for application to properly prepared asphalt or Portland cement concrete surfaces using recommended bitumen or two-part epoxy adhesives. Adhesives other than those recommended must be evaluated by the user to determine suitability. Do Not apply markers in the following situations: 1. On longitudinal or transverse seams or joints in the pavement. 2. Over existing pavement markings such as paint, thermoplastic or preformed tapes. 3. During rainfall or within 24 hours after rainfall. Follow the recommendations of the adhesive manufacturer for application temperatures and ambient weather requirements. All Applications must be made on a dry surface that has been swept clean or blown with high-pressure air to remove dirt and dust. Surface Types 1. New Asphalt Surfaces Review the manufacturer s recommendations for applying bitumen adhesives to asphalt surfaces to determine required waiting periods between paving operations and marker installation. The use of epoxy adhesives on asphalt surfaces open to traffic less than six months should be tested and approved by the user for adhesion performance before large-scale applications are made. 2. Older Asphalt Surfaces Epoxy and bitumen adhesives can be used on asphalt surfaces that have been open to traffic for at least six months. 3. New Portland Cement Concrete Surfaces Concrete surfaces open to traffic for less than 90 days must have the curing compound removed prior to application of bitumen or epoxy. Curing compound should be removed by sandblasting or other methods such as hydro-blasting, shot blasting or grinding. 4. Old Portland Cement Concrete Surfaces Markers can be applied directly to concrete surfaces that have been open to traffic for at least 90 days. 5. Chip, Slurry or Fog Sealed Surfaces Allow adequate compaction and curing time before application of markers. Chip seal surfaces should be swept of excess aggregate and open to traffic for 30 days prior to installation of markers. Follow the recommendations of the adhesive manufacturer for these surfaces. On coarsetextured chip seal pavements, epoxy adhesive may need to be placed in two steps to allow for proper leveling prior to marker application.

13 Epoxy Requirements Standard Set Epoxy Adhesive: A properly mixed epoxy adhesive should display the following characteristics of the combined components: Gel Time: 7 to 13 minutes Bond Strength to Concrete Time to reach not less than 200 psi at 77ºF (14 kgs/cm 2 at 25ºC) 180 minutes (3 hours) Shear Strength 24 77ºF (25ºC) 2200 psi (154 kgs/cm 2 ) 24 77ºF (25ºC) plus water soak 1500 psi (105 kgs/cm 2 ) Sufficient pressure and adhesive must be used to assure a visible bead of adhesive around the perimeter of the marker. Excessive epoxy in front of the reflector surface should be scraped aside. Follow the manufacturer s recommendations for application.

14 CRA1NC AN ERGON Ei COMPANY 420 N. Roosevelt Ave. Chandler AZ (602) FAX (480) GENERAL READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT PRODUCT DATA SHEET QWIKSTIX ADHESIVE/SEALANT PART NO JANUARY 2008 Crafco Qwikstix is a hot-applied polymer modified resinous composition which is designed to provide a quick, easy method to adhere pavement markers, delineator posts, temporary markings or anything else that needs to be adhered to asphalt or concrete pavement surfaces and for small scale filling and sealing of cracks in asphalt or concrete pavements. Qwikstix is ideal for use by cities, counties, states, park services, fire departments, golf courses or other industries to adhere product to pavements and for crack sealing. Each Qwikstix weighs approximately 2.2 lbs (1 kg) and are supplied in cartons containing 6 Qwikstix. VOC 0 Wi. USE ADHESIVE INSTALLATION To use, the Qwikstix is removed from the self-release box, held with one hand (wearing heat and flame resistant gloves) and heated at the end with the flame from a hand-held propane torch until the Qwikstix melts. The surface of the pavement must be clean and dry before using Qwikstix. Using a hand held propane torch, hold the end of the Qwikstix approximately 4 inches (10cm) from the pavement surface. With the propane flame at a 45 degree angle to the surface and 6-8 inches (l5cm-2ocm) from the Qwikstix, melt the Qwikstix forming a puddle on the pavement that is being warmed by the torch. If the melted material on the pavement cools prior to placing the marker, gently warm the Qwikstix puddle until it is fluid and then quickly apply the marker. When an adequate supply of adhesive is on the pavement immediately place the item to be adhered to the pavement on the adhesive and press firmly for approximately 10 seconds. Allow 30 seconds to 1 minute to cool. CRACK FILLING The crack surfaces should be prepared to provide a clean dry bonding surface which is free from debris, dust, or AND SEALING other contaminants. The Qwikstix should be heated and melted into the crack using the above described procedure. A sufficient quantity of Qwikstix should be melted to fill the crack. Application can also consist of placing the tip of the Qwikstix on the pavement and heating the tip with the flame while drawing the Qwikstix along the pavement surface to form a band aid type of application approximately I to 2 inches (2.5cm to 5.0cm) wide and not exceeding 1/8 inch (3mm) in thickness along the pavement surface. For improved adhesion, the pavement surface may be gently warmed with the flame prior to Qwikstix application.
