What are the common errors and avoidance methods in the construction of hot-melt road marking coatings? I will provide you with a detailed explanation

In the process of road marking construction, standardized operating procedures and correct construction methods are the key to ensuring the quality of the marking. As TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd., specializing in the research and production of marking coatings, we have summarized some common construction errors and corresponding avoidance methods through years of on-site technical service experience, hoping to provide reference for industry colleagues.

1、 Insufficient preparation before construction
Common problem: Some construction teams did not fully assess the road conditions before construction and started marking operations directly, resulting in insufficient adhesion or early damage to the markings.

Solution: TOP ROAD recommends completing three key steps before construction: first, thoroughly clean the road surface to ensure there are no dust, oil stains, or other impurities; Secondly, for newly laid asphalt pavement, it is necessary to wait for its stability before construction; Then, select the appropriate primer coating time based on the ambient temperature. The company’s technical service team can provide on-site guidance to customers and help develop scientific pre construction preparation plans.

2、 Improper handling of materials
Common problem: Improper heating temperature control of hot melt marking coating or incorrect dilution ratio of ambient temperature coating can affect the quality of the marking.

Solution: The product manual of TOP ROAD provides a detailed list of the optimal application parameters for various coatings. For hot melt coatings, it is recommended to use temperature monitoring equipment to strictly control the heating process; For ambient temperature coatings, the company provides specialized diluents and clear ratio guidance. At the same time, the company has established a 24-hour technical consultation hotline to answer any questions customers may have during the use of materials at any time.

3、 Inaccurate grasp of construction environment
Common problem: Forced construction under unfavorable environmental conditions such as humidity and low temperature, resulting in problems such as bubbles and cracks in the markings.

Solution: TOP ROAD has developed a product line suitable for different climate conditions. During rainy season construction, it is recommended to use the company’s specially designed moisture-proof bottom adhesive; In low-temperature environments, low-temperature curing products can be selected. The company can also recommend suitable product combinations for customers based on the specific climate characteristics of the construction area.

4、 Equipment operation is not standardized
Common problems: Improper setting of construction equipment parameters, such as uneven distribution of glass beads, inaccurate control of marking thickness, etc.

Solution: TOP ROAD regularly organizes construction equipment operation training to help customers master the correct equipment debugging methods. The company has also compiled a detailed equipment operation manual, providing clear operating instructions for everything from temperature control of the hot melt kettle to the speed of the marking vehicle.

5、 Inadequate quality inspection
Common problem: Failure to conduct quality inspection in a timely manner after construction, and it will be too late when the problem is exposed.

Solution: TOP ROAD suggests establishing a quality monitoring system for the entire construction process. During the construction process, key indicators such as the thickness and flatness of the markings should be checked at all times; After the construction is completed, initial inspection should be carried out in a timely manner, and any problems found should be rectified immediately. The company can provide professional technical support to help customers establish a sound quality control process.

6、 Neglecting maintenance and upkeep
Common problem: Insufficient attention is paid to the maintenance and upkeep of the completed markings, which affects the service life of the markings.

Solution: TOP ROAD reminds customers to establish a regular inspection system after the completion of the marking construction. Especially in the early stages of operation, it is important to avoid behaviors such as sudden braking of heavy vehicles. The company can also provide personalized maintenance plan recommendations for customers based on specific usage environments.
