17、tates.After the trimming is complete, the steel cubes are removed. A heated steel cube is bonded with epoxy to the square ofthermoplastic and allowed to cure overnight before determining the bond strength on a Dillon dynamometer or similar device.4.1 The thermoplastic specimen is prepared for this t
18、est by first melting a sample to its application temperature under continuousagitation. The specimen is then applied to the specified cement brick using a hot drawdown bar (Fig. 2), heated to 104 6 2C (2206 5F), at 3.175 mm (125 mils) thickness. While the thermoplastic is still soft, three cuts are
19、made with a 40.6 mm (1.6 in.)diameter die, heated to 104 6 2C (220 6 5F), in order to separate the test area from the rest of the drawdown. The die may beheated while submerged in glycerin to prevent thermoplastic from sticking to the die. The test areas are allowed to cool slightlyand then three 40
20、.6 mm (1.6 in.) diameter heated loading fixtures are laid on the test areas. The samples are then allowed to cureovernight before determining the bond strength on a tensile testing device.5. Significance and Use5.1 The function of this test method is to provide numerical instrumental results indicat
21、ing the cohesive or adhesive, orboth,and/or adhesive bond strength of thermoplastic traffic marking to a specified cement brick substrate.5.2 The use of this test method allows the user and manufacturer to control the quality of the product and make inferences aboutthe performance of the thermoplast
22、ic traffic marking product. Results from these tests also provide information helpful inresearching and developing thermoplastic traffic marking materials.5.3Strict adherence to the procedures outlined is necessary for precision of the test method. Under no conditions should the bondstrength be acce
23、pted unless there is conformance to 9.14. Precise results are obtained only when one steel block is epoxied to thethermoplastic traffic marking on the cement brick.5.3 The method has been revised to be more consistent to methodology in other ASTM bond methods for coatings in TestMethods D4541, D5179
24、, and D7234.5.4 Strict adherence to the procedures outlined is necessary for precision of the test method. Under no conditions should thebond strength be accepted unless there is conformance to the method.6. Types of Separation in Bond Strength Tests6.1 Thermoplastic to Steel Cube SeparationThis typ
25、e of separation occurs where there is an insufficient bond between thethermoplastic and steel cube probably due to insufficient coverage of the epoxy adhesive. Thermoplastic to Loading FixtureSeparationThis type of separation occurs where there is an insufficient bond between the thermoplastic and l
26、oading fixtureprobably due to insufficient coverage of the thermoplastic to the fixture at the time of placement or too low temperature or both.This separation is acceptable when it exceeds the specified bond strength.6.2 Thermoplastic to Thermoplastic SeparationThis type of separation is caused by
27、internal cohesive failure of thethermoplastic. This separation is acceptable when it exceeds the specified bond strength.6.3 Thermoplastic to Cement Brick SeparationThis type of separation is caused by the failure of the bond between thethermoplastic specimen and the cement brick. This type of separ
28、ation is caused by the failure of the bond between theFIG. 2 Drawdown Bar (in inches)D4796 102thermoplastic specimen and the cement brick. This separation is acceptable when it exceeds the specified bond strength.6.4 Cement Brick to Cement BrickThis type of separation is caused by the internal cohes
29、ive failure of the brick. This is due,in most cases, to a bond between the thermoplastic and cement brick that exceeds the cohesive strength of the cement brick. Thisseparation is not acceptable when the bond strength values are lower than specified.7. Apparatus7.1 Agitator Blade, 150 mm (6 in.) lon

41、ng Practice D7307.9. Procedure9.1Under continuous agitation melt a specimen of the thermoplastic to be tested to a temperature of 218C. If the specimen isa dry powder mix, allow the specimen to cool to 193C under continuous agitation and reheat under agitation to 218C.9.1 After sampling a batch of r
42、oad marking thermoplastic by Practice D7307, prepare a representative molten sample for testingby following Practice D7308.NOTE3Dry powder mixed thermoplastic must be conditioned to ensure a homogeneous melt necessary for consistent results. Premelted blockthermoplastic does not require this conditi
43、oning. The specimen may be melted on a hot plate set at 537C or in a jacketed electric pot. Continuous agitationis necessary to prevent scorching and settling. If the specimen is melted in an oven set at 260C, the specimen must be agitated every 15 min until 218Cis reached.9.2Heat the draw down blad

45、aw down on the cement brick.9.5When the thermoplastic specimen is melted to 218C under continuous agitation, remove the agitator blade from thethermoplastic.9.6Remove the draw down blade from the hot plate and immediately place it on the cement brick and make the draw down thefull length of the bric
46、k with the melted thermoplastic on the brushed or rough textured side of the brick.9.7Immediately place two room temperature steel cubes on the thermoplastic approximately 25 mm (1 in.) from each end of thebrick and trim the plastic from around the two steel cubes before the plastic cools and harden
47、s.9.8Remove the steel cubes by hand and allow the thermoplastic to cool for 1 h.9.9Prepare the epoxy solution using the proper resin and hardener ratio and mix thoroughly.9.10Remove the steel cube heated to 49C from the oven and place a small amount of epoxy on the heated cube. Place the steelcube o
48、n the thermoplastic square and rub to ensure an even coating and good adhesion. To ensure an even coating, remove thesteel cube from the thermoplastic square and visually inspect the square and cube and then replace the steel cube on the squareand rub. Do not allow any excess epoxy solution to flow
49、from the steel cube and thermoplastic square onto the cement brick.NOTE4Only one steel cube can be epoxied at a time to the thermoplastic on the brick because the shock of the first pull will cause a premature releaseof the second thermoplastic square.9.11Place a weight such as a cement brick on the steel cube epoxied to the thermoplastic square and allow to cure for a minimumtime of 8 h.9.12Screw the 15.9-mm (58-in.) capped bolt into the steel cube epoxied to the thermoplastic and place the brick into the steelframe mounted
