All Weather Thermoplastic Paint — For Rainy & Tropical Regions | TIANHUA Traffic
TIANHUA Traffic supplies all-weather thermoplastic formulations engineered for high humidity, heavy rain and strong UV exposure in tropical climates.
Why “All Weather” Thermoplastic Paint?
In tropical and monsoon regions, traditional road marking coatings often fail prematurely due to a combination of high pavement temperatures, heavy rainfall, and persistent humidity. All Weather Thermoplastic Paint is specifically formulated to preserve:
- wet-weather retroreflectivity (visibility when the marking surface is covered by a thin water film);
- high softening point and heat resistance to avoid deformation on hot pavements;
- robust adhesion and abrasion resistance under frequent wet/dry cycles;
- longer in-service lifetime to reduce maintenance and lane closure costs.
Key Technical Advantages
- Wet reflectivity: optimized glass bead strategy (dual optics / mix of bead sizes) maintains RL in both dry and wet states.
- High softening point resin: selected binder systems resist softening at pavement surface temperatures above 50°C.
- Improved bead retention: formulation and application guidance that embed beads securely, increasing long-term night visibility.
- Enhanced skid resistance: maintains SRT/BPN values even after repeated rain events.
- Fast curing and return to service: designed to minimize traffic disruption in climates with unpredictable showers.
Typical Applications
- Highways and arterial roads in tropical countries
- Coastal roads (salt-laden humidity)
- Airport aprons and taxiways in warm climates
- Urban intersections and wet-season prone corridors
- Parking lots and industrial sites in tropical regions
Relevant Standards & Performance Checks
When specifying all-weather thermoplastic paint, require compliance or test data against recognised standards — for example:
- AASHTO M249 — thermoplastic traffic stripe material performance;
- BS 3262 / EN 1871 — composition and performance for thermoplastic marking materials;
- Local standards (SABS, DPWH, etc.) where applicable.
Key measurable parameters to request from suppliers: dry & wet RL (mcd·lx⁻¹·m⁻²), bead dosage (g/m²), DFT (mm), skid resistance (BPN), softening point (°C) and third-party lab reports for wet reflectivity tests.
Application Guidance (Short)
- Surface must be clean, dry and free of loose material — remove oil or laitance on concrete.
- Preheat thermoplastic to recommended range (typically 180–210°C) and maintain stable temperature to avoid pigment degradation.
- Apply with screed or spray equipment to achieve target dry film thickness (DFT) — typically 1.5–3.5 mm depending on line type.
- Drop glass beads immediately at recommended rate (e.g., 250–350 g/m²) or use premix strategy as project requires.
- Verify RL and thickness with a retroreflectometer and thickness gauge as part of QC acceptance.
