In the field of road marking construction, hot-melt marking coatings are widely used due to their excellent performance. However, many construction units have reported that the service life of the markings is not satisfactory. As a professional supplier in the road marking industry, TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has found through extensive engineering practice that the lifespan of markings is often closely related to construction details. This article will reveal 5 key construction details that affect the lifespan of hot-melt marking, helping you improve the quality of marking engineering and extend the service life of marking.
Detail 1: Insufficient road surface pretreatment
Road surface pretreatment is the first step in hot-melt marking construction, and it is also an easily overlooked link. The technical team of TOP ROAD Transportation Technology found during on-site inspections that many cases of marking detachment are related to incomplete road surface cleaning. Before construction, it is necessary to ensure that the road surface is free of impurities such as dust, oil, and moisture, which can seriously affect the adhesion between the coating and the road surface.
For newly laid asphalt pavement, TOP ROAD specifically reminds to pay attention to the phenomenon of “oil bleeding”. Asphalt pavement will leak oil under high temperature, and if it is not treated properly and constructed directly, it will lead to insufficient adhesion of the markings. It is recommended to mark the road after a period of time of opening, or use specialized primer for treatment to ensure a strong bond between the paint and the road surface.

Detail 2: Inaccurate temperature control
The construction temperature of hot-melt marking paint directly affects its performance. The product development of TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. shows that high temperatures can cause the decomposition of coating components, affecting the durability of markings; If the temperature is too low, it will cause poor fluidity of the coating, affecting the flatness and adhesion of the marking.
In actual construction, TOP ROAD recommends using professional temperature detection equipment to monitor the paint temperature in real-time. At the same time, attention should be paid to the influence of environmental temperature. During construction in cold seasons, insulation measures should be taken to ensure that the coating temperature is within the optimal range. Our technical team can provide targeted temperature control recommendations based on different climatic conditions.
Detail 3: Irregular spreading of glass beads
Glass beads are a key material for ensuring the reflective performance of markings at night. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. found during quality follow-up that many poor reflective effects of markings are related to improper distribution of glass beads. Insufficient spreading can lead to poor reflective effect, while excessive spreading may affect the surface smoothness of the marking.
The timing of spreading glass beads is also crucial. TOP ROAD recommends spreading while the coating still has appropriate adhesion to ensure that the glass beads can partially embed into the surface of the marking. At the same time, it is necessary to choose glass bead products that meet the standards. Our professional glass beads have undergone special treatment and have excellent roundness and refractive index, which can significantly improve the reflective performance of the markings.

Detail 4: Insufficient maintenance of construction equipment
The condition of construction equipment directly affects the quality of marking. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. found during the technical service process that many construction units lacked regular maintenance of their equipment, resulting in uneven thickness and uneven edges of the markings. Especially common problems such as scraper wear and nozzle blockage can seriously affect construction quality.
We suggest that the construction unit establish a comprehensive equipment maintenance system and regularly inspect the status of key components. TOP ROAD can provide professional technical guidance to help you optimize equipment maintenance plans. At the same time, our products have been specially formulated to have stronger adaptability to equipment, effectively reducing the impact of equipment problems on the quality of markings.
Detail 5: Improper control of environmental conditions
The impact of environmental factors on the construction of hot-melt marking lines cannot be ignored. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has found through a large number of engineering cases that environmental conditions such as humidity and wind speed can significantly affect the quality of road markings. When working in a humid environment, moisture can hinder the bonding between the coating and the road surface; Strong winds can cause the paint to cool too quickly, affecting its leveling properties.
Our technical team recommends closely monitoring the weather forecast before construction to avoid adverse weather conditions. TOP ROAD’s hot-melt marking coating has been optimized with a special formula, which has better environmental adaptability and can maintain stable construction performance under a wide range of environmental conditions. At the same time, we can also provide construction parameter recommendations for different environmental conditions to help you cope with various complex working conditions.
