Thermoplastic Hand Work & Long Line
Thermoplastic Paint for Road Marking
What is thermoplastic? This super-durable substance contains binders, bright pigmentation and tiny glass beads. The pigments make road markings and pavement markings stand out during the day time, and at night, the glass beads cause extremely visible reflectivity. The binders in thermoplastic make it adhere to surfaces and last much longer than regular paint. Thermoplastic material must be heated to 400 degrees or above and applied in its molten state.
Thermoplastic is a top choice for line striping and pavement marking across Texas because it improves safety and saves money.
While regulations dictate most regular highway paint and line striping on high traffic roadways must be re-striped multiple times a year, thermoplastic only has to be applied every two years. That means reduced cost and fewer man hours.
Thermoplastic pavement marking and thermoplastic striping also improve safety.
- Increased Durability
- Retro-Reflectivity
- No VOC solvents
Why Choose Thermoplastic in Texas?
Thermoplastic material offers incredible longevity in warm, humid environments. It provides years of luminescence and retroreflectivity.
Thermoplastic pavement marking requires no curing time. It offers fast processing and easy reworking. Once it's applied, thermoplastic doesn't crack or chip, even when struck with heavy objects.
Thermoplastics are lightweight, durable, and cost effective both to manufacture and apply. Our experts apply them with precision for high quality pavement markings.
At night, thermoplastic striping and thermoplastic pavement markings stand out, providing clear direction when drivers and pedestrians need it most.
How Our Pros Apply Thermoplastic Pavement Marking
We apply thermoplastic markings with our specialty equipment aboard road marking machines or hand lining machines. Our thermoplastic striping crews have long-term experience and extensive training to provide thermoplastic pavement marking that’s durable and precisely as specified by your project parameters.
01
Superheat thermoplastic material to 400+ degrees in our preheater
02
Feed molten thermoplastic into high precision screed box or ribbon gun
03
Apply thermoplastic and immediately embed additional glass beads
Thermoplastic Hand Work and Thermoplastic Long Line
Successful thermoplastic pavement marking can be complicated. The pavement temperature must be within an acceptable range for maximum durability and adhesion. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and debris free. We’ll use the right method to prepare your roadway or pavement, then apply thermoplastic markings using the right equipment so you get superior looks and durability.
