Road Hot Melt Marking Coatings: Development, Advantages, and TOP ROAD Characteristics

The Development History of Hot Melt Marking Coatings

Historical Promotion Process
Hot melt marking paint, a new type of road safety marking paint that gradually gained popularity worldwide in the late 1960s, has now become the preferred choice for road markings in countries around the world. After more than 20 years of research and practice, significant progress has been made in the field of hot-melt marking coatings, which are widely used in hundreds of countries. In 1990, China officially designated it as a road safety marking material and issued relevant technical standards.

【 Application History 】
Hot melt marking coatings have been widely used in multiple countries for over 20 years, especially on busy urban roads and major highways with high transportation volumes. Meanwhile, it is also widely used as a reflective marking on highways.

Advantages and Applications of Hot Melt Marking Coatings

Performance advantages
Hot melt marking coatings have gained widespread recognition in the market for their low cost, environmental friendliness, excellent wear resistance, weather resistance, and durability. Its brightness and fluidity are important indicators for measuring its performance. Unlike traditional road markings, hot melt coatings do not require solvent evaporation during the construction process. Instead, the powder coating is melted by heating and then applied to the ground using specialized equipment to form distinct markings.

The film-forming mechanism of this coating is unique, not relying on solvent evaporation, but through physical condensation curing. Hot melt coatings have the characteristics of fast drying, durability, strong wear resistance, and night reflection, which continue to expand their application range and usage.

Construction characteristics and requirements
Although the unit price of hot melt coatings is relatively low, the cost per unit coating area may not be cheap. On the contrary, the better the quality of hot-melt marking paint, the less coating is required per unit area. In addition, hot-melt coatings have relatively high requirements for road conditions, and new road surfaces are the best choice; For asphalt pavements that have already aged and cracked, their applicability is relatively poor. Special equipment is used for construction, preferably with a new road surface, and construction personnel require professional training.

TOP ROAD Hot Melt Marking Coating

[Product Features and Classification]
TOP ROAD hot melt marking coating is mainly composed of thermoplastic petroleum resin, supplemented with high-quality pigments, fillers, and additives, carefully produced. The marking line after the application of this coating dries quickly, is easy to apply, has excellent reflective effect, and has a long service life. According to different production standards, TOP ROAD hot melt marking coatings can be divided into multiple varieties, including national standards (including standard national standards and derived national standards), American standards, British standards, and customized standards. Customized coatings further enhance key properties such as wear resistance, water resistance, weather resistance, and adhesion while maintaining basic performance, thus better meeting the unique needs of customers in different regions.
