Reflective Highway Road Paint 10% Mixed Glass Bead Thermoplastic Hot Melt Road Marking Paint

Product Description

Hot melt road marking paint is a type of thermoplastic paint used for marking roads, highways, and other public spaces. This paint is designed to be applied hot (typically at temperatures between 180–200°C or 356–392°F) and remains pliable for a short time after application, allowing it to bond effectively to the road surface. It is commonly used for line markings, symbols, and other traffic-related signage.

Characteristics of Thermoplastic Paint:

1. Heat-Activated Material:

   • Thermoplastic paint requires heating to 180–200°C before application, at which point it melts into a liquid state for easy application.

2. Solid at Room Temperature:

   • Unlike conventional paints, thermoplastic is solid in its natural state, requiring heating for use.

3. Composition:

   • Typically consists of binders (such as synthetic resins), pigments, glass beads (for reflectivity), and fillers (to provide durability and texture).

4. Retroreflectivity:

   • Contains glass beads or allows for the addition of glass beads during application to provide excellent night-time visibility.

5. High Durability:

   • Resistant to wear, weather, and traffic load, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and long-lasting markings.

6. Fast Drying and Hardening:

   • Cools and solidifies quickly after application, reducing downtime for road closures.

7. Strong Adhesion:

   • Adheres well to asphalt and concrete surfaces, especially when used with a primer.

8. Customizable Formulations:

   • Available in various formulations to meet specific requirements, such as skid resistance, different colors, or environmental considerations.

9. Weather Resistance:

   • Performs well in varying climatic conditions, including high temperatures, rain, and UV exposure.

10. Environmentally Adaptable:

• Some types of thermoplastic paints are designed with low VOCs to reduce environmental impact.

11. Thickness:

• Applied as a thicker layer (1.5–3 mm), which contributes to its longevity and visibility.

12. Safety Features:

• Can include anti-skid additives to enhance road safety, particularly in wet or high-traffic conditions.

These characteristics make thermoplastic paint a preferred choice for road marking in high-traffic and demanding environments.

Application
- It's usually applied using a special road - marking machine that heats the paint to a molten state and then sprays or extrudes it onto the road surface. The proper application temperature is crucial to ensure good fluidity and adhesion.

Common Uses:

• Lane markings on highways and city roads
• Pedestrian crossings and zebra stripes
• Parking lot markings
• Safety markings like arrows, symbols, and other traffic guidance symbols

Hot melt road marking paint is popular because it offers a combination of durability, visibility, and cost-effectiveness, especially for areas that see a lot of traffic.
