Product Description
What is Hot Melt Road Marking Paint?
Hot melt road marking paint, also known as thermoplastic road marking paint, is a durable, heat-applied coating used to create road markings such as lines, symbols, and signs on pavements. It is a solid, powder-based or block material that is melted at high temperatures (typically 180–200°C) and applied to road surfaces, where it cools and hardens to form a tough, reflective marking.
Composition:
- Binders: Thermoplastic resins (e.g., hydrocarbon or alkyd-based) that provide adhesion and flexibility.
- Pigments: For color (usually white or yellow) and visibility.
- Glass Beads: Added for retroreflectivity, enhancing visibility at night.
- Fillers: Such as calcium carbonate or silica for durability and cost-efficiency.
- Additives: Improve flow, weather resistance, and curing.
Application Methods:
- Screed: Extruded in precise shapes for structured markings.
- Spray: Applied for faster, thinner lines.
- Preformed: Pre-cut shapes melted onto the surface.
Key Features:
- Durability: Resists wear, weathering, and traffic for 1–5 years, depending on conditions.
- Reflectivity: Glass beads ensure high visibility in low-light conditions.
- Quick Setting: Cools and sets within minutes, minimizing road closure time.
- Thickness: Typically 1–3 mm, thicker than conventional paints.
Advantages:
- Longer lifespan than solvent-based paints.
- Environmentally friendly (low VOCs, no solvents).
- High skid resistance for safety.
Limitations:
- Requires specialized equipment for melting and application.
- Higher initial cost than traditional paints.
- Sensitive to improper surface preparation (e.g., moisture or dirt).
Uses:
- Highways, urban roads, parking lots, airports, and pedestrian crossings.
- Common in regions with heavy traffic or harsh weather due to its durability.
Hot melt road marking paint is widely used globally for its longevity, safety features, and cost-effectiveness over time.

Steps to Use Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
- Prepare the Road Surface
- Ensure the road is clean, dry, and free of debris, loose material, or oil. A well-prepared surface is crucial for proper adhesion.
-
- Heat the Paint
- Start with thermoplastic paint in solid form (pellets or blocks).
- Melt it in a specialized melter or pre-heater to approximately 200°C (392°F). The temperature must be controlled to keep the paint fluid without degrading it.
-
- Apply the Paint
- Use a specialized machine to apply the molten paint. There are two common methods:
- Extrusion: The paint is pushed through a die to form precise lines or shapes.
- Spray: The paint is sprayed for larger areas or faster application.
-
- Aim for a thickness of 1.5–3 mm for optimal durability and adhesion.
-
- Add Glass Beads
- Sprinkle glass beads onto the wet paint while it’s still hot. These enhance reflectivity, making the markings more visible at night or in low-light conditions.
-
- Allow Cooling
- The paint cools and hardens quickly, often within minutes. However, keep traffic off the area until it’s fully set to ensure a strong bond with the road.
