Basic knowledge of hot-melt coatings for road markings

As an important component of road traffic safety facilities, road marking coatings play a crucial role in guiding traffic and ensuring safety. With the rapid development of transportation construction in our country, the technology of marking coatings is also constantly advancing. As a professional enterprise in the industry, TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has accumulated rich experience in the research and production of marking coatings. This article will systematically introduce the basic knowledge of road marking coatings, helping readers to have a comprehensive understanding of this field.

1、 Basic functions of marking paint
Road marking coatings mainly regulate traffic behavior by providing visual guidance. The hot melt marking paint produced by TOP ROAD has excellent reflective performance and can provide clear route guidance for drivers at night. At the same time, the vibration marking paint developed by the company can effectively alert drivers to changes in road conditions and improve driving safety through tactile reminders.

2、 Main types and their characteristics
The common types of marking coatings on the market currently include hot melt, room temperature solvent, two-component, and water-based coatings. Hot melt coatings have become the preferred choice for highways due to their wear-resistant and durable characteristics; Room temperature solvent based coatings are easy to apply and suitable for places such as parking lots; Two component coatings are favored by the market for their rapid curing and environmentally friendly properties. TOP ROAD has developed a full range of products based on the characteristics of different types of coatings to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

3、 Key performance indicators
High quality marking coatings require multiple key properties. Durability determines the service life of markings, reflective performance directly affects nighttime driving safety, while anti-skid performance is related to driving safety in rainy and snowy weather. TOP ROAD ensures excellent performance in these key indicators through strict raw material screening and advanced production processes.

4、 Key points of construction technology
Different marking coatings require corresponding construction techniques. Hot melt coatings require specialized equipment for heating construction, while ambient temperature coatings can be applied using processes such as spraying or scraping. TOP ROAD not only provides high-quality products, but also offers professional construction guidance to customers, ensuring that product performance is fully utilized.
