Fast Drying BS 3262 Thermoplastic Paint High Reflectivity Strong
Abrasion Resistance Suitable for All Road Areas
Product Description
BS 3262 standard thermoplastic paint refers to a kind of
thermoplastic road marking paint that conforms to the British
standard BS 3262. This paint is composed of binders (usually
thermoplastic petroleum resins), pigments (ensuring vivid colors
and good covering power), fillers, and additives (improving
properties like leveling, abrasion resistance, and weather
resistance). It features fast drying speed (usually drying within
15 minutes at 23°C), good reflectivity (contains
high-refractive-index glass beads for enhanced visibility at night
and in low-visibility conditions), strong abrasion resistance (able
to withstand frequent vehicle rolling and friction for a long
service life), and convenient construction (powder form that can be
melted by heating and applied by spraying or scraping). It is
widely used in marking various road areas such as highways, urban
roads, airport runways, and parking lots, and is suitable for
different types of pavement surfaces like asphalt and cement.
How to use thermoplastic paint?
First, prepare the surface to be painted. Ensure that the surface
is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, and other contaminants. Any
loose materials or old paint should be removed.
Next, heat the thermoplastic paint. This can be done using
specialized heating equipment. The paint should be heated to the
appropriate temperature as specified by the manufacturer.
Once the paint is heated and in a molten state, it can be applied.
There are several methods of application, such as spraying,
extrusion, or brushing. The choice of application method depends on
the specific requirements and the surface being painted.
During application, ensure even coverage and thickness of the
paint. Follow the recommended application rates and patterns to
achieve the best results.
After application, allow the paint to cool and solidify. This
usually takes some time, depending on the ambient temperature and
the thickness of the paint.
Finally, inspect the painted surface for any defects or areas that
need touch-up. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure a
high-quality finish.

Advantages of Thermoplastic Paint
The advantages of thermoplastic paint are as follows:
1. Good adhesion: It can firmly adhere to various substrates such as asphalt and
concrete, ensuring the integrity and clarity of the markings for a
long time. This is crucial for the durability and legibility of
road markings.
2. Long service life: The material is highly resistant to abrasion, impact, and
weathering. It can maintain its performance and appearance for an
extended period, reducing the need for frequent reapplication and
saving maintenance costs. For example, in high-traffic areas,
thermoplastic paint can withstand the continuous wear and tear of
vehicles.
3. Quick drying: After application, it solidifies rapidly, usually within a few
minutes. This allows for quick completion of the painting work and
minimizes the disruption to traffic or other activities. It is
especially important for road construction and maintenance projects
where minimizing traffic congestion is a priority.
4. Bright color and good visibility: The paint can provide vivid colors, making the markings highly
visible during the day. Additionally, when glass beads are added,
it has excellent reflective properties at night, enhancing the
safety of driving by enabling drivers to clearly see the markings
even in low-light conditions.
5. Wide application range: It is suitable for a variety of surfaces and locations, including
roads, parking lots, airports, and other transportation facilities.
It can be used to mark different types of lines, such as lane
dividers, stop lines, pedestrian crossings, and parking spaces.
6. Cost-effective: Although the initial investment in equipment and materials may be
relatively high, considering its long service life and low
maintenance requirements, it is cost-effective in the long run.
Moreover, the availability of raw materials and the maturity of
production technology contribute to its relatively stable price.
7. Environmental adaptability: It can perform well in different environmental conditions, such as
high and low temperatures, humidity, and rain. It is not easily
affected by extreme weather, ensuring the stability and reliability
of the markings.
