Choosing Anti-Skid Thermoplastic Road Paint for Busy Intersections
Busy intersections are high-risk zones where vehicles frequently start, stop, and turn. This constant braking and acceleration can make surfaces slippery, especially during rain. Using anti-skid thermoplastic road paint improves traction, reduces accidents, and ensures safe navigation for both drivers and pedestrians.
1. Why Anti-Skid Paint Is Important
- Improved braking performance: Vehicles stop more effectively on high-friction surfaces.
- Accident reduction: Helps prevent skidding, especially in wet conditions.
- Pedestrian safety: Crosswalks marked with anti-skid coatings reduce slip risks.
- Durability: Designed to withstand heavy traffic loads at intersections.
2. How Anti-Skid Paint Works
Anti-skid thermoplastic paint contains high-friction aggregates such as quartz sand, bauxite, or ceramic particles. These materials increase surface roughness, ensuring vehicle tires grip the road even when braking sharply. When combined with reflective glass beads, markings remain visible and skid-resistant both day and night.
3. Key Factors to Consider
Factor | Recommendation |
Skid Resistance Value (SRT) | ≥55 for intersections and pedestrian crossings |
Thickness | 3–4 mm dry film for durability |
Aggregate Type | High-friction bauxite or ceramic grit |
Reflectivity | Mix with glass beads for night visibility |
Durability | Formulated for heavy traffic and frequent braking zones |
4. Application Tips
- Apply anti-skid paint in high-risk areas such as crosswalks, stop lines, turning lanes, and bus stops.
- Ensure clean, dry surfaces before application for maximum adhesion.
- Use thermoplastic applicators to achieve uniform thickness and embed aggregates correctly.
- Regularly inspect markings and reapply when skid resistance drops below safe levels.
