Thermoplastic Paint for Road Marking Meeting JT/T280-2004
Requirements
Product Description
Thermoplastic paint is a type of coating material.
It is solid at room temperature. But when heated to a specific
temperature range (usually around 180 - 220 degrees Celsius), it
melts into a liquid state that can be easily applied to surfaces
such as roads, parking lots, or industrial floors.
Once applied, as it cools down, it quickly solidifies again. It has
excellent adhesion to various substrates like asphalt and concrete.
The paint forms a durable layer that is resistant to abrasion, so
it can withstand heavy traffic and wear. It's also resistant to
weather conditions, including sunlight (UV rays), rain, and
temperature changes, maintaining its color and integrity over a
long period.
Moreover, thermoplastic paint often contains glass beads to enhance
its reflectivity, which is very important for applications like
road markings to improve visibility, especially at night. It also
has good chemical resistance to substances such as oils and
solvents.
Main Ingreidient: C5 Petroleum Resin, Titanium Dioxide, Wax, Calcium Carbonate sand
powder, Glass beads,
Medium Chrome Yellow, EVA, Filler materials.
Product Features
Thermoplastic paint has the following features:
Physical Properties
- Solid to Liquid Transition: It is solid at room temperature. When heated to a specific
temperature range (usually between 180 - 220°C), it turns into a
liquid state suitable for application. This property allows for
easy handling during the coating process.
- Quick - setting: Once applied and cooled, it solidifies rapidly.
For example, in road - marking applications, it can set in a matter
of minutes, enabling traffic to resume relatively soon after
application, minimizing disruption.
- Good Adhesion: It adheres well to a variety of surfaces such as
asphalt and concrete. The molten state of the paint enables it to
penetrate into the pores and irregularities of the substrate during
application, creating a strong bond when it cools and solidifies.
Durability
- Abrasion Resistance: Thermoplastic paint is highly resistant to abrasion. It can
withstand the wear and tear caused by vehicle tires, foot traffic,
and other mechanical forces. This makes it an ideal choice for high
- traffic areas such as roads, parking lots, and industrial floors.
- Weather Resistance: It is designed to endure different weather
conditions. It can resist damage from sunlight (ultraviolet
radiation), rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. The paint
maintains its color and integrity over an extended period, reducing
the need for frequent repainting.
Visibility and Reflectivity
- Color Retention: The paint has excellent color stability. It retains its vibrant
color even after long - term exposure to the elements. This ensures
clear visual markings, such as lane dividers and crosswalks on
roads.
- Reflective Properties: When glass beads are incorporated into the
paint during application, it provides good reflectivity. This is
crucial for road safety, as it makes the markings visible at night
or in low - light conditions. The reflective effect is enhanced by
the smooth surface of the solidified paint and the embedded glass
beads.
Chemical Resistance
- Thermoplastic paint is resistant to a variety of chemicals such
as oils, fuels, and solvents. This resistance is beneficial in environments where the painted
surface may come into contact with these substances, like in
industrial settings or on petrol station forecourts.

Product Advantages
Thermoplastic paint has the following advantages:
1. Durability:
- Resistance to Wear and Tear: It can withstand heavy traffic,
abrasion from vehicle tires, and other mechanical stresses. This
makes the markings or coatings made with thermoplastic paint highly
durable and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent
reapplication.
- Resistance to Weather Conditions: It is resistant to harsh
weather elements such as sunlight (UV rays), rain, snow, and
temperature fluctuations. The paint maintains its color and
integrity over an extended period, even in outdoor environments.
2. Visibility and Reflectivity:
- Bright Colors: Thermoplastic paint offers vibrant and vivid
colors, ensuring clear and distinct markings. This is essential for
applications like road markings, where visibility is crucial for
the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
- Reflective Properties: When glass beads are added to the paint,
it becomes highly reflective. This enhances visibility at night or
in low-light conditions, allowing drivers to clearly see the
markings and navigate safely.
3. Quick Drying and Setting:
- Fast Drying Time: Thermoplastic paint dries and hardens quickly
after application. This means that roads or surfaces can be
reopened to traffic shortly after the paint is applied, minimizing
disruption and delays.
- Rapid Setting: The quick setting property allows the paint to
form a solid and stable coating in a short time, ensuring the
durability and integrity of the markings.
4. Adhesion:
- Strong Bonding: It adheres well to a variety of surfaces,
including asphalt, concrete, and metal. The strong adhesion ensures
that the paint remains firmly attached to the substrate, even under
challenging conditions such as heavy traffic and weathering.
- No Need for Primer in Some Cases: Some high-quality thermoplastic
paint formulations do not require a primer, simplifying the
application process and reducing costs.
5. Cost-Effective:
- Long Service Life: Due to its durability and long lifespan, the
overall cost of using thermoplastic paint is relatively low over
time. Although the initial cost may be higher than some other types
of coatings, the reduced need for frequent maintenance and
replacement makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
- Efficient Application: The quick application and drying process
reduce labor costs and minimize the time and effort required for
the painting project.
6. Environmentally Friendly:
- Low VOC Emissions: Thermoplastic paint generally does not contain
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or contains very low levels of
VOCs. This is beneficial for the environment and human health, as
VOCs can contribute to air pollution and have harmful effects on
people's respiratory systems.
- Recyclable: In some cases, thermoplastic paint can be recycled,
reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of the
painting process.
7. Customizable:
- Color Options: It is available in a wide range of colors,
allowing for customization and the creation of specific markings or
designs according to different requirements. This makes it suitable
for various applications, such as road markings, sports courts,
parking lots, and industrial floors.
- Marking Variations: Thermoplastic paint can be used to create
different types of markings, including lines, arrows, symbols, and
lettering, providing flexibility in design and application.
8. Safety:
- Anti-Slip Properties: In some applications, such as on roads and
walkways, the texture of thermoplastic paint can provide a certain
degree of anti-slip function, reducing the risk of slips and falls,
especially in wet or slippery conditions.
- Enhanced Visibility for Safety: The high visibility and
reflectivity of thermoplastic paint contribute to improved safety
by making the marked areas more visible to users, helping to
prevent accidents and ensure the smooth flow of traffic or people.
