Sažetak
Waterborne road marking paints with various glass beads were applied two years ago at a test field in Croatia, on a road with Averaged Daily Traffic (ADT) of 8469 vehicles. Retroreflectivity (RL) was measured periodically using a dynamic test method and the results are provided herein. Performance of the evaluated systems depended mostly on the utilised glass beads, with highperformance glass beads of exceptional roundness and surface quality clearly furnishing the highest RL after the two seasons ; indeed, the systems consisting of waterborne paints and those high-performance glass beads appear to be suitable as three-year marking material. With other evaluated glass beads, all systems were also clearly passing after two years. For the systems durability, the role of road marking paint was secondary, which is expected in the cases where the glass beads are of high quality and appropriately matched. High-performance waterborne paint was somewhat better than the standard fast-dry material. Overall, waterborne paints were found to be an excellent choice, somewhat outperforming simultaneously applied solventborne paints. Their lesser environmental impact is an additional benefit that should be considered.
