This specification covers a reflectorized thermoplastic pavement striping material that is applied to the road surface in a molten state by mechanical means with surface application of glass beads at a rate specified by the purchaser or the manufacturer. Upon cooling to normal pavement temperature@ the applied thermoplastic produces an adherent retroreflective stripe of specified color@ thickness@ and width capable of resisting deformation by traffic. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
