Long-Lasting and Wear-Resistant Thermoplastic Paint for Road
Marking Quick Drying and Easy Application
Product
Description
Thermoplastic paint is a type of paint that is heated to a molten
state for application. It solidifies quickly upon cooling, forming
a durable and wear-resistant coating, often used for road markings
due to its high visibility and long lifespan.Key Components:- Resins (Binders) – Provide adhesion and structure.
- Pigments – Provide color and opacity.
- Glass Beads – Enhance reflectivity for visibility.
- Plasticizers – Increase flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Fillers – Adjust texture and durability.
- Solvents (Optional) – Help with application, though not typically used in
thermoplastic paint.
- Additives – Improve performance, such as UV resistance or anti-aging
properties.
Advantages of Hot Melt Paint: - Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to wear and harsh conditions.
- Quick Drying: Minimizes road downtime and allows immediate use.
- High Visibility: Reflective properties improve safety, especially at night.
- Easy Application: Fast and efficient with specialized equipment.
- Weather Resistant: Stands up to extreme weather conditions and UV exposure.
- Cost-effective: Lower maintenance and long lifespan reduce overall costs.
- Environmental Friendly: Low VOCs and minimal solvents.
- Flexibility: Adapts to surface movements and can be used for various
applications.
- Reversibility: Can be easily replaced or removed without surface damage.
- Customizable: Available in multiple colors for specific needs.

Application Process
- Pre-treatment: The surface to be painted, such as a road surface, must be clean,
dry, and free of dust, oil, and loose particles. This is usually
achieved through methods like sandblasting or power washing. - Heating: The thermoplastic paint is heated in a special kettle or melter to
a temperature typically between 180°C and 220°C (356°F - 428°F),
depending on the specific formulation. At this temperature, the
paint becomes a fluid, viscous liquid that can be easily applied. - Application: It is then applied using equipment such as a screed applicator or
a spray gun. For road markings, a screed is commonly used to spread
the molten paint evenly at a specific thickness. Glass beads are
often sprinkled onto the wet paint immediately after application to
enhance retroreflectivity, making the markings more visible at
night. - Cooling and Solidification: Once applied, the paint cools rapidly due to the lower temperature
of the substrate and the surrounding environment. As it cools, it
solidifies into a hard, durable coating within a short period,
usually within a few minutes.
