Eco-Friendly Thermoplastic Paint for Durable Road Markings High Reflectivity and Fast Drying

                               Product Description                                      

Thermoplastic paint is a type of road marking material that becomes soft and moldable when heated and solidifies upon cooling. It is widely used for creating durable, reflective road markings, such as lines, symbols, and signs on highways and streets.

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.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF HOT MELT ROAD MARKING PAINT FORMULATION

1. Durability: Hot melt paint is known for its exceptional durability, with the ability to withstand heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, and wear over time. It offers excellent resistance to fading, chipping, and cracking.

2. Hot melt road marking paint often contains reflective glass beads or other additives to enhance visibility, especially at night. The beads embedded in the paint help to reflect light from vehicle headlights, improving the visibility of road markings.

3. Quick Drying: Hot melt paint dries rapidly upon application, allowing for quick traffic flow and minimizing disruption to road users. Once applied, it cools and solidified almost immediately, allowing the road to be reopened to traffic shortly after painting.

4. Adhesion: The molten state of the paint ensure strong adhesion to the road surface, resulting in excellent longevity. It adheres well to both asphalt and concrete pavements, providing a reliable and long-lasting road marking solution.

5. Application Methods: Hot melt road marking paint is typically applied using specialized road marking equipment, such as hot melt applicators or road striping machines. These machines heat the paint to the required temperature and dispense it onto the road surface, enabling precise and efficient application.

       Detailed Process of Thermoplastic 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.

                  Advantages of Hot Melt Powder Coating                    

1. Good use effect& quick-drying

The coating film of hot melt paint has complete clear lines, sharp edges and corners, high vividness and three dimensional effect.

It can be dry and open to traffic 1-3 minutes after painting, and construction can even be carried out without blocking traffic.

2. Excellent wear resistance& Reflective at night

The coating film of this paint is durable and the service life of the marking can up to 2 years. Stronger adhesion, Good liquidity, stronger weather resistance, high compressive strength..

Since the paint is mixed with glass beads, marking coating is strong reflection at night, traffic accidents can be reduce.
