Long-Lasting and Safe Thermoplastic Paint for Road and Parking Lot
Striping
Product Description
What is Thermoplastic Paint?
Definition and Composition
Thermoplastic paint is a type of material used for road and
pavement markings. It is composed of thermoplastic resins, pigments
for color, glass beads for reflectivity, and fillers to add bulk.
The resins, which can include hydrocarbons, alkyds, or modified
acrylics, are the key component that allows the material to be
melted and reformed.
Application and Properties
Unlike traditional paints, thermoplastic paint is heated to high
temperatures (around 200°C or 392°F) and applied in a molten state.
It then cools and hardens to form a tough, durable surface. This
process makes it resistant to wear from traffic and harsh weather,
with glass beads ensuring it reflects light for better nighttime
visibility.
Common Uses
It is primarily used for road markings, such as lane lines,
crosswalks, and parking lot striping, due to its longevity and
safety benefits, especially in high-traffic areas.
Unexpected Detail: Safety and Environmental Considerations
Interestingly, thermoplastic paint is often considered safer for
the environment and personnel, as it’s a solid material that’s
melted rather than a liquid with volatile solvents, reducing
exposure risks during application.

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
Add Glass Beads
Allow Cooling
