The competition between ​​thermoplastic (hot-melt)​​ and ​​two-component road marking paints​​ hinges on performance, cost, and sustainability. Here’s a comparative outlook:

​​Thermoplastic Paint​​
​​Pros​​: Fast-drying (solidifies in minutes), cost-effective for high-traffic roads, and widely used with 70% market share in China.
​​Cons​​: Requires heating (180–220°C), posing safety risks; prone to cracking in extreme temperatures and poor adhesion on cement surfaces.
​​Two-Component Paint​​
​​Pros​​: Superior durability (5–10 years), excellent adhesion, and ​​rain-night reflectivity​​ due to chemical-bonded glass beads. Eco-friendly (no VOCs) and suitable for harsh climates.
​​Cons​​: Higher material costs and complex mixing ratios.
​​Future Trends​​
While thermoplastic dominates in cost-sensitive regions, ​​two-component paints​​ are gaining traction in Europe (80% adoption in Switzerland) and China for their longevity and eco-compliance. Innovations like ​​MMA-based two-component systems​​ further enhance competitiveness.
