Thermoplastic Markings Hot Melt Road Marking Paint

Thermoplastic Road Mark Paint High Reflective White and Yellow for Road Sign

What are the main components of Thermoplastic road marking paint? What are the functions of each component?

The road markings we commonly see are usually painted with thermoplastic road marking paint, which has excellent night-time reflective performance. Its main components include:

Resin: Film-forming agent, which serves as the framework for the entire coating film, determining its performance and service life, and enhancing compressive strength.

Calcium carbonate: Filler, increasing the wear resistance of the coating.

Titanium dioxide: Pigment, enhancing the whiteness of the coating and increasing the brightness factor.

Filler: Enhancing the wear resistance, anti-slip property and hardness of the coating.

PE wax: Lubricant and dispersant. It has good weather resistance, heat resistance, wear resistance and other properties. It improves the internal fluidity, surface anti-fouling, hydrophobicity and mixing dispersibility of the coating, and can also be used as a viscosity regulator.

EVA: Plasticizer, increasing the flexibility, plasticity and anti-aging properties of the coating.

Colorant: Giving the coating different colors to meet customers' requirements for the color of the markings.

Glass beads: Reflective material, improving the visibility at night, enhancing the brightness and durability of the markings.

Color:
Common colors include white and yellow.
Drying Time:
Thermoplastic paints typically dry within minutes (e.g., within 3 minutes).
Storage:
Thermoplastic paint has a typical storage time of 1 year in dry, well-ventilated conditions.

Advantages:

Durability and Longevity:
Thermoplastic markings are highly durable and can last significantly longer than traditional paint, potentially up to 10 times longer. This translates to less frequent maintenance and reduced long-term costs.

High Visibility:
Thermoplastic provides excellent daytime and nighttime visibility, especially when embedded with glass beads, making roads safer.

Weather Resistance:
It is resistant to fading from sunlight and can be applied in a wider range of temperatures than traditional paints.

Quick Drying:
Thermoplastic cures and dries quickly, minimizing traffic disruption during application.

Cost-Effective in the Long Run:
While the initial cost is higher, the extended lifespan and reduced maintenance needs can make it a more cost-effective solution over time, especially for heavily traveled roads.

We support OEM, including customized packaging and private labeling.

We can also tailor the formulation of our road marking paint to meet specific standards.
