What is Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint?
Thermoplastic road marking paint, also known as hot melt marking paint, is a specialized powder coating used for creating durable, high-visibility traffic lines on roads, highways, and parking lots. Composed of synthetic resins, pigments, glass beads, and fillers, it requires heating to 180–220°C (356–428°F) to melt into a liquid state for application
Upon cooling, it rapidly solidifies (within 2–5 minutes) into a thick (1.5–3 mm), wear-resistant layer
Key features include:
Durability: Resists heavy traffic, UV exposure, and harsh weather, lasting 2–5 years
Reflectivity: Embedded glass beads provide retro-reflection, ensuring nighttime visibility
Eco-Friendly: Contains low VOCs and avoids solvent evaporation
Versatility: Applied via specialized equipment for precise lines, symbols, or crosswalks
Ideal for high-traffic areas, thermoplastic paint combines longevity, safety, and cost-effectiveness, making it a global standard for road safety markings.
