7. Liquid Pavement Marking Application Guidelines Series 5000 Description 3M Liquid Pavement Marking Series 5000 is designed for use on roadways and highways as a durable pavement marking Series 5000 is a 2 1 ratio two component 100 percent solid polyurea coating material that cures rapidly to hardness after application The Series 5000 binder can be used with a number of different optics packages to provide desired levels of retroreflective performance For long line applications Series 5000 is applied using a mobile truck mounted and self contained pavement marking machine Figure 1 This pavement marking machine is specifically designed for application of two component liquid materials and reflective media in continuous or skip patterns For intersections and transverse markings any 2 1 ratio application equipment may also be used Due to the fast track free time of this marking it is necessary to have equipment that is capable of applying optics immediately following binder application is required Contact 3M Technical Service 800 553 1380 for guidance on transverse applications aie RAS Figure 1 LPM Application Truck Surface Preparation Recommendations Proper application of Series 5000 is essential for completion of a successful project Below are some surface preparation recommendations that should be followed Temperature Application of Series 5000 is recommended when air and road temperatures
