Educational ENNIS-FLINT® by PPG EF Series Fast Dry Waterborne Traffic Paint is a high-quality, acrylic-based paint that uses water as its primary solvent. This durable paint dries quickly and can be applied in thick layers (up to 22 mils) using specialized spray equipment.
It's ideal for marking roads, airports, and parking lots and can be used with or without reflective glass beads. This paint offers all the advantages of a water-soluble paint, including fast drying times that prevent tracking. It comes in a variety of colors, including white, lead-free yellow, black, red, blue, and green, all meeting federal specifications for color standards.
Part number 985203-5P is a Black 5-gallon TTP-1952F Type II waterborne paint that is perfect for contrast markings on high traffic roads.
Shelf life of the unopened product is one year from date of manufacture with proper storage and minimal agitation. Proper storage includes inside or covered, above 35° F (2° C), and out of direct sunlight. Outside storage for short intervals is acceptable.

To ensure the best adhesion and properties, the surface must be clean and dry. The surface preparation includes, but is not limited to, cleaning and removal of sealing and curing compounds. All pavements shall be cleaned free of grease, oil, dust dirt, grass, loose gravel, loose or flaking paint and other deleterious materials. The pavement surface to be prepared shall be wider than the material line to be applied, such that a prepared area shall be clean and visible on all sides of the material after application. New asphalt, concrete and seal coated surfaces shall be in place a minimum of two weeks prior to application and all curing compounds must be removed. Any existing marking which may interfere with the performance of the material must be physically removed by any Agency approved method except for the use of chemicals. All existing markings must be at least 90 percent removed. The material may be applied over temporary paint markings which are well adhered to the substrate and are thinner than 8 mils. Upon completion of the surface preparation, the pavement surface preferably should first be power broomed and vacuumed. An additional compressed air operation, separate from the compressed air guns on the striping applicator, should be used to remove residue and debris resulting from the cleaning work. Compressed air must be used during the striping application. Cone whenever necessary.
Apply a test strip to determine dry to no-pickup time when the humidity is higher than 65% or the temperature is between 35-55° F ambient and surface. Cone whenever necessary. Do not apply when rain is forecast within 12 hours. Do not apply to wet, icy, or salted roads. Equipment Do not heat paint in striping system above 110° F. Do not thin more than 5% with acetone; if paint is thinned, then use immediately. Refer to the paint guidebook for further information.
Without drop on glass beads, this paint dries to a lab ASTM D711 no pickup in less than 10 minutes @ 15 mils when ambient and surface temperature are 77° F at 50±5% humidity. When glass beads are applied at a rate of at least 6 pounds per gallon to a 15-mil wet line, the field applied paint will dry to an ASTM D713 no-track in less than 2 minutes when applied at the weather conditions above. A 25-mil line should dry in less than 3 minutes when field applied as described above. Dry time increases during nighttime applications. Dry time increases on re-striping applications.
Before working this product, the user is required to read and understand the information provided in the Safety Data Sheets and to follow the safety precautions and good industrial hygiene.
