Hua Qun Factory Thermoplastic Paint for Road Markings Durable
Reflective and Wear-resistant
Product Description
Thermoplastic road marking paint, also known as hot melt marking
paint, is a type of powder paint used for road surface markings.
When heated to approximately 200°C (392°F), it melts and is applied
to road surfaces, where it quickly hardens upon cooling to form a
durable, wear-resistant, and reflective layer.
Composition of Hot Melt Marking Paint:
Synthetic Resins: These serve as binders, providing thermoplasticity and ensuring
strong adhesion to the road surface. Common resins used include:
- Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Resins: Derived from petroleum, these resins offer excellent color
stability and resistance to UV degradation.
- C5 Petroleum Resins: These are widely used due to their good compatibility with other
ingredients and their ability to enhance the paint's adhesive
properties.
Pigments: Provide color and opacity to the markings.
- Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂): Used for white markings, it offers high brightness and opacity.
- Organic Pigments: Such as Pigment Yellow 65, 74, or 83, are used for yellow
markings.
Glass Beads: Incorporated to enhance reflectivity, improving nighttime
visibility. These beads are typically colorless and transparent,
reflecting light from vehicle headlights back toward the driver.
Fillers: Materials like calcium carbonate and silica sand are added to
improve mechanical strength, wear resistance, and to adjust the
paint's viscosity.
Additives: Substances such as plasticizers, anti-settling agents, and
stabilizers are included to enhance flexibility, prevent
sedimentation, and improve overall durability of the paint.

Advantages:
Durability: Thermoplastic markings are engineered to withstand heavy traffic,
extreme weather, and UV radiation, ensuring long-lasting visibility
and reducing maintenance needs.
Reflectivity: The inclusion of glass beads provides high reflectivity, enhancing
road safety by improving visibility during nighttime or low-light
conditions.
Quick Drying: The paint cools and hardens rapidly after application, minimizing
traffic disruptions
Steps to Use Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
1. Surface Preparation
- Ensure the road surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, grease, or moisture for proper adhesion.
- For old roads, remove any loose paint or debris.
- If necessary, apply a primer to improve adhesion, especially on concrete surfaces.
2. Heating the Thermoplastic Paint
- Use a preheater or thermoplastic melting kettle to heat the paint to around 180-200°C (356-392°F).
- Stir continuously to maintain an even consistency and prevent
burning.
3. Application of the Paint
- Hand or Machine Application:
- Screed, Extrusion, or Spray Machine – For large road markings, use a specialized road marking machine.
- Hand-Pushed Applicator – Suitable for smaller projects or touch-ups.
- Apply the molten thermoplastic evenly on the road surface at a
thickness of 1.5 to 3 mm.
4. Adding Glass Beads
- While the paint is still hot, sprinkle glass beads on top to enhance reflectivity.
- Some thermoplastic paints contain pre-mixed glass beads, but additional beads may still be applied manually or
automatically.
5. Cooling and Curing
- The marking cools and hardens within 2-5 minutes, forming a durable and traffic-resistant layer.
- Allow sufficient time for full curing before opening to traffic.
6. Quality Check
- Inspect for proper thickness, adhesion, and reflectivity.
- Remove excess material and touch up any defects.
