Colour parameters, whiteness indices and physical features of marking paints for horizontal signalization

The present paper describes the assessment of colour parameters of industrial paints for horizontal signalization (designed as POM S1 and POM S2 / ZEB 1 and ZEB 2) of white colour hue, coming from two different producers ("Pomoravlje" and "Zorka") with reference to an independent sample (IND 0) and some physical properties of each sample. Colorimetric characterization of samples was performed using a reflectance spectrophotometer "Update Colour Eye 3000". Standard and modified test methods (ASTM) were performed to establish physical properties of the paints. The industrial paints show better values for the investigated parameters and properties and satisfy standards prescribed by law. POM S2 sample with dry film thickness, similar to the same of other samples, provides the best physical features maximizing quality and minimizing protection cost.
