All Weather Thermoplastic Paint | Durable Road Marking for Rain and Heat
All Weather Thermoplastic Paint is an advanced road marking material engineered to perform under extreme weather conditions — from heavy rain and humidity to intense heat and UV exposure. It ensures road visibility and driver safety regardless of season, making it ideal for tropical, coastal, and desert climates.
1. What Is All Weather Thermoplastic Paint?
This paint is a hot-melt road marking material made from modified petroleum resin, titanium dioxide, glass beads, calcium carbonate, PE wax, and plasticizers. It melts at approximately 180°C–200°C and forms a hard, wear-resistant line upon cooling. Unlike conventional paints, it maintains high retroreflectivity even when the surface is wet.
2. Technical Characteristics
- High Reflectivity: Incorporates moisture-resistant glass beads that retain brightness in rain.
- Strong Adhesion: Excellent bonding with both asphalt and concrete pavements.
- Anti-Slip Performance: Surface texture designed for skid resistance in wet conditions.
- Fast Drying: Traffic-ready within 5–10 minutes after application.
- UV and Heat Resistance: Formulated to resist fading and cracking under high temperatures.
3. Types of All Weather Thermoplastic Paint
According to application method and line function, all-weather thermoplastic paint can be divided into:
- Spray-Type All Weather Paint – for large-scale highways and expressways.
- Vibration (Rumble) Line Paint – improves driver alertness and safety in foggy or rainy conditions.
- Screed-Type Paint – standard for city roads and intersections.
- Extrusion / Profiled Paint – builds raised lines with drainage capacity for wet areas.
- Dot or Spot Marking Paint – for special warning zones and rumble applications.
4. Why Choose All Weather Thermoplastic Paint?
- Performance in Any Climate: Works efficiently from -10°C to 60°C, ensuring consistent retroreflectivity even during storms.
- Long Service Life: Up to 2–3 years in high-traffic areas and over 5 years in moderate roads.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower lifecycle cost than water-based or cold paints due to reduced maintenance frequency.
- Compliance: Meets international standards including BS 3262, EN 1871, AASHTO M249.
5. Applications
All Weather Thermoplastic Paint is widely used for:
- Highways and Expressways
- Airport Runways and Taxiways
- Coastal Roads and Bridges
- Mountain Roads with Frequent Rain or Fog
- Urban Roads and Parking Lots
