1180 Series
Epoxy Traffic Paint
1180 Series is a two-component, 100% solids epoxy coating material designed as a rapid setting highway marking coating that provides durability and corrosion and abrasion resistance. It is formulated to provide a simple volumetric mixing ratio of two volumes of Component A to one volume of Component B.
1180 Series may be applied to both cementitious and asphalt highway surfaces as a long-lasting striping material for both edging and center line markings.
ADVANTAGES
- 100% solids chemistry
- Low viscosity suitable for spray application
- Long-term abrasion and corrosion resistance
- Excellent bond strength assures good adhesion to a variety of substrates
- Protection against moisture penetration
- Special formulation chemistry for rapid set at a wide range of temperatures
- High ultraviolet light stability
- High reflective qualities

PLACEMENT
1180 Series and retro-reflective media shall be placed according to Colorado Paint requirements. All technical data regarding material type and application rate will be provided to the project engineer prior to starting work. 1180 Series shall be applied at a minimum of 20 mils film thickness.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface shall be clean and dry. The surface preparation shall include, but not be limited to, cleaning and removal of sealing and curing compound. All pavements and temporary paint markings shall be cleaned free of grease, oil, mud, dust, dirt, grass, loose gravel, loose or flaking paint and other deleterious material prior to the application of 1180 Series product. The pavement surface area to be prepared shall be wider than the 1180 Series to be applied, such that a prepared area is on all sides of the 1180 after application. New asphalt, concrete and seal coated surfaces shall be in place a minimum of two weeks prior to marking application. Any existing marking which may interfere with the performance of the material shall be physically removed by any Agency approved method except for the use of chemicals. All new PCC surfaces shall have all curing compound removed. All existing markings shall be at least 90% removed. 1180 Series can be applied over temporary paint markings which are well adhered to the substrate and are 8 mils dry or less when prepared according to paragraph 1 in this section.
FINAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Upon completion of section 2, the pavement surface shall first be power broomed and vacuumed. An additional compressed air operation, separate from the compressed air guns on the striping applicator, shall be used to remove residue and debris resulting from the cleaning work. Compressed air shall also be used during striping application.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Ambient and surface temperature shall be 40°F and rising. The pavement surface temperature and ambient temperature shall be determined and documented before the start of each day of marking operation and at any other time deemed necessary by the manufacturer or the agency.
EQUIPMENT
1180 Series shall be applied with equipment approved by Colorado Paint. The equipment shall be designed to control the viscosity of the material accurately at the spray gun. This equipment shall have pressure gauges for each proportioning pump. The equipment shall have a metering device to register the accumulated footage for each spray gun or a gallon meter to determine actual gallons used. Each piece of equipment shall be operated by a technician who is an expert in that particular equipment’s operation and plural component application techniques.
GLASS BEADS
Spherical glass beads shall be used as reflective media in 1180 Series. The glass spheres shall be colorless, clean, transparent and free of excessive air bubbles. The surface of the spheres shall not exhibit any scarring or scratching. There shall be two gradation types of glass spheres used in the 1180 Series epoxy pavement marking material. The large glass spheres shall conform to the Type 4 gradation described in the Standard specification for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Projects FP-96, Section 718.19. The small glass spheres shall conform to the AASHTO M-247 Type 1.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store both components of 1180 in a dry area. Avoid excessive heat and do not freeze. The shelf life is two years in the original, unopened container.
WARRANTY
Colorado Paint warrants to the purchaser, for 6 months from the date of manufacturing, that this product when applied according to Colorado Paint application instructions, shall be manufactured without defects. This limited warranty covers material replacement only. Excluded from coverage is labor, any damage to the application surface or any failure of the coating caused other than by defects in the material.
