AASHTO-M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint White/Yellow – Factory Price, OEM & Global Supply
The AASHTO-M249 specification is widely recognized across North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa for thermoplastic road marking materials. It defines the required durability, softening point, color stability, skid resistance, bead retention, and environmental compliance necessary for highway authorities and airport operators. White and yellow thermoplastic marking materials compliant with AASHTO-M249 are used for long-term, high-performance road lines.
Market Status & Global Demand Trends
Demand for AASHTO-M249 compliant thermoplastic paint continues to grow due to increased highway construction, airport upgrades, and road safety projects. Many public works departments prefer M249-grade hot melt materials for their extended service life, superior night visibility, and reduced maintenance frequency. In developing regions, the demand is rising as agencies shift from low-cost paint to long-lasting thermoplastics to reduce long-term operating costs.
Key market drivers include highway expansion programs, urban traffic modernization, smart city initiatives, and pavement maintenance cycles. Buyers increasingly prefer high-resin, high-glass-bead formulations that maintain reflectivity in heavy traffic zones.

AASTHO-M249 thermoplastic road marking paint offers:
• High retroreflectivity when applied with glass beads
• Excellent abrasion resistance under heavy traffic
• Strong adhesion to both asphalt and concrete
• Heat-stable pigments for bright white and durable yellow
• Weather-resistant for a wide range of climates
• Softening point and flow optimized for machine or hand application
