MS 1303:1993 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint | Malaysia Standard Hot Melt Coating
MS 1303:1993 is the core Malaysian national standard for thermoplastic road marking paint. It specifies material composition, softening point, glass bead compatibility, whiteness, durability, retro-reflectivity, and skid resistance required for highways and municipal projects across Malaysia.
Tianhua Group supplies a complete range of MS 1303-compliant hot melt road marking paints, available in white, yellow, and custom colours for local councils, highway concessionaires, and EPC contractors.
Key Requirements of MS 1303:1993
Our thermoplastic paint formulation meets or exceeds MS 1303 across the following areas:
- Softening Point: ≥ 90°C
- Binder Composition: High stability thermoplastic resin
- Glass Bead Compatibility: Suitable for premix and drop-on
- Whiteness (White Paint): High titanium dioxide content
- Durability: High wear resistance for tropical climate
- Reflectivity: Compatible with 1.5 / 1.6 RI beads
- Skid Resistance: Anti-skid filler with strong texture
Malaysia’s tropical environment—high rainfall, humidity, and UV exposure—demands a stable, weather-resistant formulation. Tianhua's MS 1303 paint is engineered specifically for these conditions, delivering consistent performance across highways, toll roads, and urban streets.
Market Status & Trends in Malaysia
Demand for MS 1303-compliant thermoplastic paint continues to rise, driven by:
- Expansion of federal and state highways
- Ongoing maintenance of PLUS, LPT, LEKAS, SPRINT and other major concession roads
- Urban upgrades in Selangor, Penang, Johor, and Sarawak
- Increased municipal focus on reflective night visibility
Over the next five years, tenders increasingly prefer high-reflectivity paint with 20–30% premix beads, especially in high-humidity regions. Contractors also shift toward OEM stable supply partners due to higher tender competition.
