Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint for El Salvador – Factory Price & Distributor Opportunity
1. El Salvador’s Road Network & Infrastructure Growth
El Salvador’s compact road network of around 10,000 km links the capital San Salvador with key cities such as Santa Ana, San Miguel and the port of Acajutla. Recent investments under the National Transport Plan (PNC) focus on widening the CA-1 (Pan‐American) highway, upgrading urban ring roads around San Salvador, and enhancing access to Pacific ports to support agriculture and export industries.
2. Traffic Investment & Expansion Needs
Rapid urbanization and rising freight volumes to/from Acajutla have increased congestion on major corridors. To ease bottlenecks, the Ministry of Public Works is modernizing the CA-2 coastal highway and adding lanes on the RN-21 ring road. These projects create strong demand for high-performance road markings that remain visible under heavy use.
3. Climate Conditions & Thermoplastic Paint Advantages
El Salvador has a tropical climate with a rainy season from May to October and dry season from November to April. Average temperatures hover around 28 °C, and coastal areas see high humidity and intense UV. Ordinary paints fade quickly or wash away. Thermoplastic road marking paint offers:
- UV resistance for long-lasting color
- Waterproof performance through heavy rains
- Embedded glass beads ensuring high night-time reflectivity
- Textured finish for improved skid resistance
- Service life of 3–5 years under local conditions
4. Policy Support & Construction Standards
The Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MOP) now specifies retroreflective thermoplastic markings on all new highway and urban projects. Technical guidelines refer to AASHTO M249 and EN 1436, mandating minimum skid resistance and reflectivity for safety in both wet and dry seasons.
5. Market Status: Shift Toward Thermoplastic
While cold solvent paints remain common on secondary roads, major national and municipal works are rapidly adopting thermoplastic systems. Lifecycle cost savings—fewer repaints and improved safety—drive this trend on key routes around San Salvador and Acajutla.
