Description

Our waterborne TT-P 1952E Type III paint has the same great fast drying time as the TT-P-1952E Type I paint (10 min or less*), but it is specifically designed with more solids to be an even stronger, more durable paint. While the TTP 1952E Type III paint can be used for all sorts of pavement marking needs where fast drying time is crucial, we highly recommend this paint for airports and contractors needing a high quality, low quantity, durable, fast-drying paint. This paint is perfect for airport runways and taxiways, or in commercial applications where high traffic demand requires high durability with an absolute minimum amount of application time.

Note: The specification for this paint has been superseded by TT-P1952F Type III as of August 2007. If you need the F paint, this paint should meet or exceed those specifications however if you are doing a federal job where TT-P1952F is required and will be audited for application, contact us +1(800) 689-2098 for bulk quantities of TT-P-1952F sourced through PPG (previously Ennis-Flint) or you'll have to find a different source for single quantities.

*Dry times will vary, depending on relative humidity and temperature.

Special Notes

Our Fast-Dry waterborne paint is NOT recommended for "roller" style line stripers like our Rollmaster Econo 1000 or Rollmaster 5000. Since those systems are low pressure delivery systems, the mechanism which delivers the paint to the roller and the roller itself, will become clogged with paint causing you a big mess and undesired frustration. If you are interested in either one of those systems, we recommend that you purchase our normal dry water based paint instead. If you have a high pressure sprayer, this paint will work fine in those systems but may cause faster clogging at the tip.

As far as surfaces go, our fast-dry waterborne paint can be used on both asphalt and concrete but it is NOT recommended as turf marking or field marking paint. We carry a line of paint that is specifically designed for that environment. Contact us for details or visit our field marking website for grass paints.

Quality

We only sell paint that is guaranteed to be top quality commercial parking lot, curb and traffic paint. Our paint will equally match and usually beats anything you can buy at the store. We ship all of our paint straight from the manufacturing plant which means your paint is fresh by the time you get it, unlike the paint that might sit on the store shelf for a few months.

Usage

Use this paint anywhere you might need fast drying Federal Specification traffic paint such as parking lots, curbs or roads. If you aren't sure whether you need a fast drying paint or not, the question you want to ask yourself is: "Do I need multiple coats and or do I need traffic on my parking lot in less than an hour?" If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you will want FAST-DRY paint. If you have time to let the paint dry, you will probably want our normal dry and less expensive water based paint. Some jobs require a higher "build" of paint which means multiple coats. If you need to allow traffic back on the job in a short amount of time, you definitely need a fast drying paint.

Coverage

Understanding the coverage of the paint is an important factor when line striping. The typical airless line striper will produce a line that is 15 mils in thickness, but first, how thick is 15 mils, second, what if I'm not using an airless line striper and third, what about the surface condition? Actual coverage of this paint can be found in the Specifications tab.

How thick is 15 mils?
1 mil stands for "1 Thousandth of an Inch". It's small. So, 15 mils is 15 thousandth of an inch which is the same as 1/64 of an inch. To give an idea of how thick 15 mils really is, we'll show you a few common items and their thickness:

  • Typical Credit Card: 30 mils (.030 in) [0.762 mm]
  • US Dollar Bill: 5 mils (.005 in) [0.127 mm]
  • Finger Nail: 13 mils (.013 in) [.3302 mm]

So, if you take 3 crisp US currency bills and stack them together, you will have 15 mils of thickness, or you can look at the thickness of your (unpainted) fingernail for a quick reference.

What if I'm not using an airless striper?
When using a roller or brush to apply paint, the thickness will vary between the roller style and how much paint you actually put down. The main rule of thumb though, is that you will double the amount of paint. Using a roller usually applies a thicker coat of paint. In some cases, if you're conservative with how much you put down, you can acually use less paint.

What do I need to know about the surface condition?
The surface area of section you will paint can also make a big difference with how much paint you use. Especially if you aren't using an airless paint system. Rough pavement like older ashpalt that has a lot of aggregate showing, has a larger surface area and will take more paint. In contrast, a smooth concrete surface has a lower surface area and won't take as much paint. We don't have a guide or calculator at this time to take the different surfaces into consideration, just know that you might need a bit more paint if you're painting a rough area.

Custom Gray Colors
There are so many different shades of gray, it is difficult for us to offer a "base gray" color of paint, and have it match your environment. As suggested from our supplier, we recommend that you purchase both "White" and "Black" colors, then mix them together to achieve the color of gray you need. We understand this presents additional cost for the project and we apologize for the inconvenience, however, if you aren't picky about the color of gray you need, feel free to browse our Custom Color Palette and choose a gray. (30 gallon minimum on custom gray)
