Hot Applied Thermoplastic.
Thermoplastic is a pavement marking material that is a 100% solid, environmentally and user safe compound. A mixture of glass beads, pigments, binder, and filler materials, thermoplastic, as its name suggests, becomes liquid when heat is applied
- A non reflective thermoplastic designed for use in external car parks, roads with good street lighting and for parking restriction markings.
- Suitable for: Outdoor use only on bitumen based surfaces such as asphalt, surface dressing, slurry, tarmac etc.
- Can be used on concrete and block paving. but a tack coat primer should be used first to improve adhesion.
- Used for more than 95% of public road markings in the UK since the 1950’s and extensive use around the world.
- Principal colours are white and yellow but others such as blue, red and green are available. White material usually includes glass beads in the mixture to give night time reflectivity.
- Adheres to bitumen surface by heat transfer bonding.
- Thermoplastic requires the action of weather (rain especially) to maintain good appearance and if used indoors or under cover is likely to discolour badly.
- Not suitable for: Indoor surfaces, factory floors, underground car parks, multi-storey car parks (except top deck).
Chlorinated Rubber Application
A well served product based on chlorinated rubber giving high chemical resistance. Used in high humidity environments and aggressive exposure conditions. The products perform well on most types of substrate including concrete.
- Very hard-wearing chemically resistant paint
- Ideal where conditions require a degree of chemical and water resistance eg concrete and, manhole covers
- Excellent for road markings due to its high visibility and durability is a must..
- conforms to BS6044 and is based on a chlorinated rubber resin system
