 Hot Applied Powder Road Paint Eco-friendly and Durable for Thermoplastic Markings

What are Hot Melt Road Markings?

Hot melt road markings are mainly composed of synthetic resin and premix glass beads and are used for long term purposes.

Hot melt paint is a solid powder before being heated and needs specialized machines during construction. The paint is melted before being transferred to the marking machine which applies the hot paint at the control of the operator.

Hot melt paint is applied hot and cools into a line and can be coloured to specifications through the addition of pigments. Thermoplastic coating sets quickly and will adhere strongly to the surface. Extra additives can be added to retain its colour over time and to improve its reflective capabilities. Because if this, thermoplastic coating is perfect for touching up previous road markings which may have faded or need added reflective properties.

Safety Benefits

One of the most important benefits to using hot melt road markings is the improvement to road safety that comes with them. Thermoplastic markings can be made to be highly reflective making them much easier to see at night or in bad weather conditions where visibility is poor.

Thermoplastic markings can be laid thicker, and built up layers of the paint are used to create rumble strips which provide drivers with physical feedback in the form of noticeable vibration and an audible rumbling noise. This helps raise awareness of upcoming danger spots and warns drivers to watch their speed, resulting in less frequent collisions and accidents.
