Description
SETFAST® Waterborne Traffic Marking Paint (Acrylic Latex) are conventional dry (nonheated application) water based paints intended for use in marking parking lots, airports, and roads.
Material Use:
Setfast® Acrylic Waterborne Traffic Marking Paint is a high-visibility, fast-drying, waterborne acrylic emulsion designed for striping and marking on cured asphalt, concrete, and brick surfaces. It is primarily used for traffic and safety markings in parking lots, streets, highways, airfields, and other paved surfaces. The product conforms to U.S. Bureau of Public Roads color standards and meets the requirements of Federal Specification TT-P-1952B.
System Components:
This is a single-component, ready-to-use system that does not require a primer or topcoat. It can be used alone or in conjunction with reflective glass beads for enhanced visibility. The paint is available in two standard colors: TM226 White and TM227 Yellow.
Applications:
Setfast® Acrylic is suitable for use in a wide range of environments including apartment communities, shopping centers, schools and universities, municipalities, state departments of transportation (DOTs), property maintenance operations, asphalt seal contractors, and airfields. It is ideal for marking curbs, runways, parking lots, and roadways.
Application Details:
- Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be cured, clean, dry, and sound. Remove oil, dust, grease, dirt, and any loose material. New asphalt should be aged for several months before application. For new concrete, remove sealers or efflorescence through weathering, etching, or abrasive blasting.
- Application Methods: Can be applied using airless or conventional spray line stripers, brush, or roller (for small areas only).
- Spray Equipment Settings:
- *Airless Spray:* 1800–2700 psi, 1/4–3/8 inch hose, 0.015–0.019 inch tip, 60 mesh filter
- *Conventional Spray:* Binks 21 gun, #68 fluid nozzle, #709 air nozzle, 20–80 psi atomization pressure, 30–60 psi fluid pressure
- Mixing: Mix thoroughly with low-speed power agitation before use. Do not tint.
- Reducer: Water, up to 12.5% by volume if needed.
- Glass Beads: Can be applied while paint is wet to create reflective markings.
- Recommended Film Thickness:
- Wet: 15.0 mils
- Dry: 8.7 mils
- Coverage:
- Approximately 320 linear feet of 4-inch stripe per gallon
- 107 sq. ft. per gallon at recommended thickness
- Theoretical coverage: 930 sq. ft. per gallon (without loss factors)

- Drying Time at 77°F (25°C) and 50% RH:
- Dry-no-pickup: 45 minutes
- Dry to touch: 45 minutes
- Cure Time: Dependent on temperature, humidity, and film thickness
- Pot Life: Not applicable (single-component, ready-to-use)
- UV Resistance: Not specified; typically used in outdoor applications but not rated as UV-stable

- Not intended for large pedestrian areas due to potential slipperiness when wet
- Excessive reduction can negatively affect film build and adhesion
- Not suitable for uncured asphalt
- Cleanup: Clean tools and equipment immediately with soap and warm water. Flush spray equipment with a compliant solvent to prevent rust.
