Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint Formulations

The material consists of 100 solids and is environmentally friendly as it is solvent free.

Thermoplastic road marking paint formulations.

Thermoplastic road marking paint also called hot melt marking paint is a kind of powder paint. Thermoplastic marking normal temperature cold paint marking colored anti slip marking vibrated anti slip marking and preformed marking. We are in road safety products one of our field is thermoplastic road marking application. Thus formulations using rosin maleic based polyesters gave satisfactory flow properties as compared to conventional resins used in thermoplastic road marking paints.

In this we are facing a problem of blackening especially in city roads setting time of material is almost 40 minutes. Thermoplastic road marking material is a formulation of plasticized resin aggregate pigment and glass beads supplied in powder form. Aliphatic hydrocarbon resin c5 when used in road marking thermoplastic paints enhances the tenacity hardness adhesive force of the paint material resulting in formation of smooth coating surface. Thermoplastic road marking paint also called hot melt marking paint is a kind of powder paint when applied as road surface markings a hot melt kettle is used to heat it to 200 c 392 f to melt the powder after which it is sprayed on the road surface the coating then becomes a hard polymer line after cooling.

This paint is a thick coating as is wear resisting bright and reflective. It is a hot applied thermosetting retror effective road marking which can be applied by hand operated automatic machine only. Addition of aliphatic hydrocarbon resin c5 induces high chemical corrosion resistance high ultraviolet resistance properties in paint as well as improves the dryness brightness of coating. Binders of thermoplastic road markings consist of low molecular weight petroleum based resins.

As its names suggests the composition becomes liquid when heat is applied. Saturday 24 july 2004 1 00 00 am. Paints are applied in three different. Thermoline is heated and applied to the road surface where it rapidly cools and sets.

When applied as road surface markings a hot melt kettle is used to heat it to 200 c 392 f after which it is. Traffic marking is one the most common traffic facilities traffic facilities for marking are mainly divided into. It features short construction time high. Thermoplastic road marking trm materials are recently adopted product in our country for road marking in place of convectional brushable non reflective cold applied paints.

It will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that varying substitutions and modifications may be made to the invention disclosed herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Thermoplastic paint can be applied efficiently through any of the established road marking machines.
