Thermoplastic Markings are a long wearing, reflective line marking that can be used in many areas including roadways and parking lots. They are very durable and withstand harsh weather conditions much better than traditional paint. They are easy to see, especially in the dark and will not fade with time making them a more cost effective choice for businesses looking to improve road safety.
Thermoplastic pavement marking paints are used to clearly mark traffic lanes, legends, symbols and road boundaries on roads, driveways, parking lots and other paved surfaces. The granulated powder compound is heated and liquified in a hot melt kettle before being applied to the surface. Glass beads are often added to the paint to increase its antiskid characteristics.
Durable and Vibrant: The Longevity of Thermoplastic Playground Markings
This type of pavement marking is also known as hot applied thermoplastic and can be used to provide lane and marking definition for vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle paths. It is made from a mixture of binder, pigments, filler and glass beads that are melted together and then deposited on the pavement surface. The material can be molded into specific shapes and is available in a wide range of color options.
A popular preformed thermoplastic option is AirMark, which is designed for use on paved airport runways and taxiways. It is durable and provides clear delineation for runway holding positions, geographic position and aircraft parking and tie downs. The alternating elevated and recessed profile increases nighttime reflectivity and creates a loud audible rumble effect when driven over.
