Product Description

Hot melt paint is a type of coating material.

It is solid at room temperature and turns into a liquid when heated. This allows it to be easily applied in a molten state, usually by using a special hot melt equipment like a hot melt gun. Once applied and cooled, it solidifies again to form a durable coating. It's often used for road markings as it can provide good visibility and wear - resistance, and also in some industrial or packaging applications for labeling or surface protection.

Specifications:

- Varying colors available.
- Different thicknesses can be applied depending on the specific requirements.
- Good weather resistance.

Usage:

- Clean the surface to be coated thoroughly.
- Ensure the surface is dry and free from contaminants.
- Apply the thermoplastic coating using appropriate application methods such as spraying or brushing.
- Heat the coating to the required temperature to ensure proper adhesion and curing.

How to Use Hot Melt Paint?

Here are the general steps to use hot melt paint:

Preparation

- Gather equipment: You'll need a hot melt paint applicator such as a hot melt paint machine or a hot - glue - like gun that can heat the paint to its melting point. Also, prepare a clean container for the paint if it doesn't come pre - packaged for the applicator, and safety gear like heat - resistant gloves.
- Surface preparation: Make sure the surface you're going to apply the paint on is clean, dry, and free of debris, grease, or other substances that could prevent the paint from adhering properly. For example, if you're using it for road markings, sweep the road surface thoroughly.

Application

- Load the paint: Put the hot melt paint into the applicator's reservoir according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Heat the paint: Turn on the applicator and wait for the paint to melt. The time it takes to melt depends on the type and amount of paint and the power of the applicator.
- Apply the paint: Once the paint is in a liquid state, carefully apply it to the desired surface. If it's for road markings, you can use a nozzle to dispense the paint in a continuous line or in specific patterns. For other applications like product labeling, apply the paint precisely where you want the label or marking to be.

Cooling and setting

- Allow to cool: After application, let the hot melt paint cool and solidify. This usually happens quickly, but the exact time depends on the ambient temperature and the thickness of the paint layer. Do not touch or disturb the painted area during this time to ensure a smooth and even finish.

Advantages of Thermoplastic Paint

The advantages of thermoplastic paint are as follows:
 

Strong adhesion and durability

- It has strong adhesion to the road surface, ensuring that the marking lines remain intact, clear, and not easily peeled off under the long-term influence of vehicle rolling and various environmental factors.
- It has excellent wear resistance and a long service life, reducing the waste of manpower and material resources caused by repeated constructions and the obstruction to normal traffic.

Good visibility

- Reflective glass beads can be mixed during construction, so the marking lines have good reflective performance at night, which can greatly improve the safety and efficiency of driving at night and make it easier for drivers to see the road markings clearly under low-light conditions.
- The color of the paint itself is bright and eye-catching, providing clear guidance for drivers and pedestrians even during the day.

Rapid drying and convenient construction

- It dries quickly and can be opened to traffic shortly after construction, effectively reducing the impact on traffic and improving construction efficiency.
- The construction method is relatively simple. Usually, a special marking device is used to scrape or spray the melted paint on the road surface, which is easy to operate and can form neat and uniform marking lines.

Economy

- Although its initial purchase cost may be relatively high, due to its long service life, it has good cost-effectiveness in the long run and can reduce the maintenance and re-marking costs of road markings.

Environmental adaptability and maintainability

- It has good weather resistance and water resistance, can adapt to various harsh natural environments, maintain vividness for a long time, and is not easy to fade or be damaged due to natural aging, rain washing, and other factors.
- The later maintenance is relatively easy. If the marking lines need to be modified or removed, the paint can be softened by heating and then processed.
