Abstract:
A composite on a surface of a substrate, wherein said composite consists essentially of:a) a first coating comprising pigment and binder polymer, wherein, when applied to said substrate, said first coating contains from 40% to 80% volume solids; wherein said first coating is a fast dry coating; b) reflective beads; and c) a clear coating, comprising binder polymer; wherein, when applied to said substrate, said clear coating contains from 10% to 50% volume solids; wherein said surface of said substrate is a road surface, and said composite is a traffic marking; wherein the ratio of the diameter of said reflective bead to the wet film thickness of said first coating is between 2.0 and 10.0; wherein the ratio of the diameter of said reflective bead to the dry film thickness of said clear coating is between 0.5 and 3.0.
