Product Details
High-Index Reflective Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint Powder
Coating with Glass Beads Mainly Resin Product
Product Description
Thermoplastic paint is a type of durable, heat-applied coating
commonly used for road markings, traffic signs, and other outdoor
applications. It’s made from a mixture of synthetic resins,
pigments, glass beads (for reflectivity), and fillers that solidify
when cooled after being heated to a molten state. Unlike regular
paint, which dries through solvent evaporation, thermoplastic paint
is applied in a hot, liquid form (typically at temperatures between
180°C and 220°C or 356°F to 428°F) and hardens as it cools, forming
a thick, tough layer that bonds well to surfaces like asphalt or
concrete.
It’s popular for its longevity, weather resistance, and ability to
withstand heavy traffic. The glass beads embedded in it enhance
visibility at night by reflecting light from vehicle headlights.
You’ll see it in things like lane lines, crosswalks, or parking lot
markings. There are two main types: hydrocarbon-based (derived from
petroleum) and alkyd-based (made from natural oils), with the
former being more common due to cost and performance.

Steps to Use Thermoplastic Paint:
Surface Preparation:
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, oil, or loose
debris. Use a broom, wire brush, or pressure washer as needed.
Ensure the surface is dry, as moisture can prevent proper adhesion.
For porous surfaces like concrete, you may need to apply a primer
to enhance bonding. Check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Heat the Thermoplastic:
Load the thermoplastic material into a preheater or melting kettle.
Heat it to the recommended temperature, typically between 180°C and
220°C (356°F to 428°F), depending on the specific product. Stir
occasionally to ensure even melting and to avoid scorching.
Monitor the temperature carefully—overheating can degrade the
material.
Test the Consistency:
The molten thermoplastic should have a smooth, liquid consistency,
free of lumps. If it’s too thick, it won’t apply evenly; if too
thin, it may not set properly.
Apply the Paint:
For Road Markings: Use a striping machine or screed box to pour the molten
thermoplastic onto the surface in the desired pattern. Work
quickly, as it begins to cool and harden once applied.
For Smaller Areas: Use a hand-held applicator or trowel to spread the material evenly.
Maintain a consistent thickness (usually 1.5–3 mm, depending on the
project requirements).
Add Glass Beads (Optional):
For reflective markings (e.g., road lines), sprinkle glass beads
over the wet thermoplastic immediately after application. The beads
will embed as it cools, improving visibility.
