Thermoplastic Traffic Paint for Roads – Factory Price $270/t ~ $700/t | OEM & Distributor Program
Thermoplastic traffic paint remains the preferred long-life solution for permanent road markings on highways, urban streets, airports and industrial sites. Global infrastructure spending, expanded maintenance programs, and rising safety standards are driving steady demand for hot-melt thermoplastic formulations. Buyers increasingly value a balance of cost, durability and reflectivity. The current practical price window for factory supply ranges from about USD 270 per ton for basic seasonal blends up to USD 700 per ton for premium, bead-ready, high-resin formulas with export packaging and certification support.
Why choose thermoplastic paint for road markings
Thermoplastic paint forms a thick, abrasion-resistant layer that bonds strongly to asphalt and concrete. It offers superior night visibility when used with glass beads, excellent resistance to snowplows and heavy traffic, and a longer service life compared with many cold-applied paints. For agencies and contractors, thermoplastic reduces repaint frequency and overall life-cycle cost despite a higher upfront material price.
What professional buyers expect from suppliers
Large-scale buyers and contractors expect consistent quality, reliable delivery, compliance with local standards, technical support for application, and transparent pricing. Suppliers who offer OEM branding, sample testing, local training, and clear QA documentation are preferred in tender processes.
Distributor recruitment policy – ship first, friendly credit terms
We actively recruit distributors and regional partners with the following commercial support: initial ship-first shipments for qualified partners to accelerate market entry, friendly credit terms matched to project cashflow, priority allocation for tender projects, and supply continuity guarantees. Partners receive product datasheets, MSDS, application guidance and sales materials to help win local contracts.
Joint-venture and local factory cooperation
To better serve regional markets and reduce logistics cost, we seek reliable local partners for joint-venture production or packaging facilities. Joint-venture benefits include formula transfer, equipment selection, quality control training, and a shared route to local tender participation. Local production enables faster delivery, lower landed cost, and easier compliance with procurement rules that require local content.
OEM and private-label service
OEM service is available for distributors, contractors and brand owners. Options include private-label packaging, customized formulations for specific climates (cold-region, temperate, tropical), bespoke bead premix ratios, and tailored bag or drum sizes. Sample runs and small pilot batches can be arranged for qualification tests.
