Application Process:

The application of thermoplastic road marking paint involves several key steps:

Surface Preparation: The road surface must be clean, dry, and free of any debris or contaminants before application. This ensures proper adhesion of the thermoplastic paint.

Heating: The thermoplastic paint is heated to a specific temperature, causing it to melt and become a liquid.

Application: The molten paint is then applied to the road surface using specialized equipment, such as thermoplastic road marking machines. This process allows for precise and uniform markings.

Glass Bead Application: Immediately after applying the paint, glass beads are sprinkled onto the surface to enhance reflectivity.

Cooling: The painted markings cool and solidify, forming a durable and long-lasting bond with the road.

Benefits of Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint:

Durability: Thermoplastic road markings are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to traditional paint.

Reflectivity: The incorporation of glass beads provides excellent reflectivity, improving visibility for drivers, especially during nighttime.

Quick Drying: The rapid cooling and solidification process of thermoplastic paint allows for quick drying, minimizing traffic disruption during application.

Cost-Effective: Despite its initial higher cost compared to conventional paint, thermoplastic road marking proves to be cost-effective in the long run due to its extended lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.

Thermoplastic road marking paint, also called thermoplastic coating or hot melt marking paint, is like a powder paint. A hot melt kettle heats the road marking paint to 200oC, and then it is sprayed onto the road surface. After cooling, the paint is wear-resistant, reflective and bright. It is fast drying and can be driven over after a few minutes. To help with identification of road markings in the dark, reflective glass beads are added as they improve the brightness as well as durability.
