Product Details
Highly Visible Thermoplastic Paint for Road Markings Quick and Easy
Application Process
Product Description
Hot-applied thermoplastic paint is a durable, heat-activated
coating used primarily for road markings. It’s composed of
synthetic resins, glass beads, pigments, and fillers, applied in a
molten state (typically 180–220°C) using specialized equipment.
Once cooled, it forms a thick, long-lasting layer that adheres
strongly to surfaces like asphalt or concrete.
Key Features:
Durability: Resists wear, weather, and heavy traffic, lasting 3–5 years or
more.
Visibility: Contains glass beads for retroreflectivity, ensuring high
visibility at night.
Quick Setting: Hardens rapidly after application, minimizing road closure time.
Applications: Used for lane lines, crosswalks, arrows, and other pavement
markings.
It’s ideal for high-traffic roads due to its toughness and low
maintenance compared to regular paint.
How to Apply Thermoplastic Paint:
1. Prepare the Surface:
- Clean the Road Surface: The area should be clean and dry. Remove dirt, debris, dust, oil,
and any loose material using a broom, pressure washer, or cleaning
equipment.
- Dry the Surface: Make sure the surface is free of moisture before applying the
paint.
2. Heat the Paint:
- Use a Heating System: Hot melt road marking paint needs to be heated to around
180–200°C (356–392°F). Use a dedicated melting pot or heated tank
to melt the paint.
- Maintain Proper Temperature: Keep the paint at the right temperature to ensure even
application. It should be fluid enough to spread but not too hot to
cause burns or uneven application.
3. Apply the Paint:
- Choose the Right Equipment: Use a road marking machine (manual or automatic) designed for hot
melt paint. These machines often have an applicator that controls
the flow of the paint.
- Apply Evenly: Pour or spray the melted paint onto the prepared surface in a
uniform layer. The paint will begin to solidify as it cools, so
work efficiently.
- Marking Width and Thickness: Depending on the machine, adjust the settings to achieve the
correct width and thickness for the lines or symbols you are
marking.
4. Allow Cooling and Solidification:
- Cooling Time: After application, the paint will solidify relatively quickly as
it cools down. This can take just a few minutes, depending on the
weather and temperature.
- Curing: Full curing might take a few hours. Ensure that traffic doesn’t
pass over the markings too soon to prevent smudging or damaging the
lines.
5. Clean Equipment:
- Clean the Machine: After use, clean your equipment thoroughly, especially the nozzle
and hoses, to prevent the paint from hardening inside the machine.
