BS 3262 High-Performance Hot-Applied Thermoplastic Road Marking
Materials for Roads
Product Description
The BS3262 Standard refers to a British Standard specification for hot-applied thermoplastic road marking materials, not a general thermoplastic coating. It outlines requirements for
materials used in road markings, such as those for center lines,
edge lines, and pedestrian crossings, applied by screeding or
spraying. The standard is divided into parts:
BS3262-1: Specifies constituent materials and mixtures, including binders
(e.g., petroleum resin), pigments (e.g., titanium dioxide),
aggregates, and glass beads (for reflectivity, typically 20%
minimum content). Binder content is often at least 18%.
BS3262-2: Details performance requirements for type approval, focusing on
durability, skid resistance, and reflectivity, especially for white
and yellow markings. It excludes materials inset into roads.
BS3262-3: Covers application methods, ensuring proper adhesion and
performance on road surfaces like asphalt or concrete.
Thermoplastic road markings are heated (typically 180–220°C) to a
molten state for application, solidifying rapidly upon cooling to
form a durable, weather-resistant layer. Key properties include:
Composition: Includes resins (e.g., C5 petroleum resin), glass beads (20–25%
for retro-reflectivity), pigments (e.g., 12% titanium dioxide), and
additives for stability and skid resistance.
Durability: Resistant to traffic wear, UV exposure, and weathering, with
rapid curing (2–5 minutes).
Applications: Used for highways, urban roads, airport runways, and parking
lots, offering high visibility and safety.
Application of Thermoplastic Paint:
Surface Prep:
Clean, dry road surface (asphalt/concrete), free of oil/dust.
Primer for concrete or worn asphalt if needed.
No application in rain, >85% humidity, or <5°C.
Heating:
Application Methods:
Screed: 2.5–3 mm for lines, arrows, text.
Spray: 1.5–2 mm for large areas.
Extrusion: 3–6 mm for profiled markings.
Manual: For small areas or symbols.
Glass Beads:
Drop-on: 250–400 g/m², 80% surface coverage.
Premixed: ≥20% for reflectivity (100 mcd/m²/lx for white).
Thickness:
Flat: 1.5–3 mm.
Profiled: Up to 6 mm.
Curing:
Uses: Lane lines, pedestrian crossings, arrows, symbols on highways,
urban roads, parking lots, and airports.
