Durable Reflective and High-Temperature Resistant Thermoplastic Marking Paint for Road Markings

Product Description

Thermoplastic marking paint is a type of road marking material that becomes soft and pliable when heated, allowing it to be applied to surfaces such as roads, highways, parking lots, and airport runways. Once applied and cooled, it hardens to form a durable, long-lasting coating.

Main Components and Features

1. Titanium dioxide: Good whiteness, high purity, small particle size, low oil absorption

2. C5 resin: Outstanding affinity for pigments, good compatibility with EVA, good heat stability

3. PE wax: Heat resistance, abrasion resistance, as a lubricant, increase paint processing performance.

4. Calcium carbonate: High precise classification, high whiteness

5. Glass beads: Drop on glass beads, intermix glass bead, we use top brand beads brand, high reflective.

Detailed Process of Thermoplastic Marking Paint Construction

1. Road Cleaning

Before operation, the nearby area must be cleaned to ensure that there are no impurities such as oil, water, fallen leaves, weeds, ect., so as not to affect the adhesion effect, flatness and reflection effect of the line.

2. Set the Point and Mark Line

In the process of sampling, the calculation and measurement must be carried out in strict accordance with the construction drawings. Measure the several lanes that need to be drawn on the road, set the point, and then mark it with a stone pen. Use titanium dioxide powder to glue the rope for the elastic line. After the rope is removed, it will be corrected and improved to ensure that the line shape is clear and accurate.

3. Apply the Primer

The lower coating is a common binder in hot melt marking construction. It is applied to the highway road surface, which can make the hot melt coating better adhere to the road surface.

4. Spray the Paint

Before construction, first check the relevant coating equipment. Then heat the paint.

When the trolley moves forward, the paint will form a coating film on the road, and a layer of glass beads should be sprinkled on the coating film during the coating process.

When the trolley moves forward, take the reference line as the ruler, control the thickness and width of the line, and ensure the coordination, clarity and smoothness of the line connection between the straight line and the curve.

Note: During the coating process, in order to avoid the sedimentation and separation of the paint, it is necessary to stir the paint frequently.

5. Check and Correct

After the coating is completed, check and correct the line shape, check the spread of glass beads, etc.

After confirming that it is correct, the construction site will be cleaned up.

After the line is dried and hardened, the relevant construction equipment can be transferred, the safety facilities can be dismantled, and the traffic can be opened.

Features of Thermoplastic Paint

• Durability:

  • Weather and UV Resistance: Thermoplastic paint is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including high traffic, UV rays, rain, and extreme temperatures.
  • Longevity: It lasts much longer than conventional paints, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like roads and highways.

• Fast Drying/Cooling:

  • Application: After heating and applying to the surface, thermoplastic paint cools and hardens quickly, allowing for minimal disruption to road traffic.
  • Quick Installation: Ideal for fast-paced projects, as it dries almost immediately after application.

• Thermoplastic marking paint is highly versatile and effective for creating road markings that are durable, visible, and long-lasting. Its unique combination of properties makes it ideal for high-traffic and safety-critical applications like highways and airports.

• Reflectivity (Retroreflective):

  • Glass Beads: Retro-reflective glass beads embedded in the paint enhance visibility at night or under low-light conditions. This feature improves safety by making road markings clearly visible to drivers in darkness or adverse weather conditions.

• High Visibility:

  • Thermoplastic paint maintains sharp, clear lines with excellent color retention, which is essential for road markings, signage, and pedestrian crossings.

• Heat-Activated (Thermoplastic Nature):

  • Application Process: Requires heating to a molten state (typically between 180–200°C) for proper application. Once applied, the paint hardens as it cools, forming a durable coating.

• Flexibility and Adaptability:

  • Surface Bonding: Thermoplastic paint can be applied to various surfaces like asphalt, concrete, or other road materials. It bonds effectively, even with varying surface conditions.

• Non-Slip Surface:

  • When applied with the proper texture, thermoplastic marking paint can create a non-slip surface, improving road safety, especially in wet conditions.

• Eco-Friendly Options:

  • Low-VOC formulations: Modern thermoplastic paints are developed with reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) content to lower environmental impact.
  • Lead-Free: Most thermoplastic paints are now free from lead and other hazardous chemicals.

• Customization:

  • Can be formulated to meet specific performance needs, including different colors, reflective properties, and special markings for roads, airports, and other applications.

• Cost-Effectiveness:

  • Long-Term Value: Though the initial application cost may be higher than other paints, the long-lasting durability and reduced maintenance needs make thermoplastic paint a cost-effective solution over time.
