Transform Road Safety with Thermoplastic Paint A High-Performance
Coating
Description
What is Thermoplastic Paint?
Thermoplastic paint is a type of coating made from a mixture of
plastic resin, glass beads, and other additives. When heated, it
becomes a liquid and can be applied to a variety of surfaces,
including asphalt and concrete. As it cools, it hardens into a
durable and long-lasting coating.

Why is Thermoplastic Paint Important for Road Safety?
Road marking plays a pivotal role in the safety of the people on
the road, the drivers, passengers, or pedestrians. Today, road
marking paints are an essential component of road safety. They are
now horizontal markings while the traffic lights are known as
vertical markings.
With the Road markings, the traffic gets synch. These markings on
the roads grab the attention of the drivers. The driver will get to
know about their lanes, which will make the traffic much more
organized and uniform. Overtaking also becomes easier when the
roads are marked with high-quality reflective thermoplastic paint.
How to Use Thermoplastic Paint for Road Marking
The hot-melt marking paint is solid powder at normal temperature.
During the construction, the paint is put into the melting kettle.
The temperature in the kettle is controlled between 180 °C and 210
°C, and stirred while melting. After melting and flowing, Place in
the insulated melt hopper of the scribbling car. The molten coating
is then introduced back into the scoring hopper and held warm to
maintain the material in a molten state. Before the scribbling,
there is a pre-marking machine marking position, and the primer is
applied by a lower coating machine at the coating position
indicated by the design icon. After the primer is completely dried,
the marking paint can be applied. When starting the scribbling, the
scribbling bucket should be placed on the road surface. Because
there is a certain gap between the scribbling bucket and the
ground, when the scribbling car is moving forward, a neat marking
line is scraped by an automatic rogue. The glass bead spreader
automatically and evenly spreads a layer of reflective glass beads
on the marking line.
