Study on the Adaptability of Hot-Melt Marking Paint for Road Pavements Under Different Climatic Conditions

16 10 月, 2025

With the continuous expansion of road network coverage in each country, road markings need to face diverse climate environments ranging from tropical to cold zones, and from humid to arid. As a widely used road marking material, the adaptability of hot melt coatings under different climatic conditions directly affects the safety of road traffic and the service life of markings. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has conducted in-depth analysis of the performance of hot melt coatings in various climatic environments based on engineering practice and systematic research across the country, providing professional technical references for the industry.

Adaptability to high temperature and rainy climate environment

In the hot and rainy regions of the south, hot melt coatings face a dual challenge. The research of TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. shows that continuous high temperature environment can easily lead to softening of markings, reducing their compressive strength and wear resistance. In response to this characteristic, the company has developed a high-temperature stable formula, which significantly improves the thermal stability of the coating by optimizing the resin system and adding high-temperature resistant additives.

The challenges brought by rainy climate mainly lie in the adhesion performance between the markings and the road surface. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. pays special attention to the improvement of the adhesive formula and has developed a specialized adhesive that dries quickly and has strong permeability, ensuring that a strong bonding layer can still be formed in humid environments. At the same time, the company’s products maintain good anti-skid performance even in rainy conditions through special anti slip design, providing a guarantee for driving safety.

Performance characteristics in dry and cold climate environments

The dry and cold regions in the north have put forward higher requirements for the low-temperature adaptability of hot melt coatings. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has effectively improved the flexibility of coatings in low-temperature environments through molecular structure modification technology, preventing brittle cracking caused by sudden temperature changes. The company’s products undergo strict freeze-thaw cycle testing to ensure stable physical properties even under severe cold conditions.

In view of the characteristics of high ultraviolet intensity in dry climate, TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. added special anti-aging ingredients to the paint, effectively delaying the yellowing and chalking process of the marking. By optimizing the pigment system and the proportion of reflective materials, it is ensured that the markings can maintain bright colors and good visibility in strong sunlight environments.

Comprehensive adaptability of temperate monsoon climate zone

In the central temperate monsoon climate zone, hot melt coatings need to cope with significant seasonal changes. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a universal formula for all seasons, which dynamically adjusts the thermal expansion coefficient and elastic modulus of the coating to enable the marking to adapt to large temperature fluctuations. This formula performs well under large temperature differences in spring and autumn, effectively avoiding stress cracking caused by temperature changes.

TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. places special emphasis on optimizing the moisture resistance of coatings in response to the significant humidity changes in monsoon climate zones. By improving production processes and raw material ratios, it is ensured that the markings can maintain good adhesion and durability even in humid seasons. At the same time, the company’s products also take into account the special requirements for construction in different seasons, providing targeted technical guidance for construction enterprises.

Special solutions for special climate environments

TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a highly weather resistant formula to address the issue of intense ultraviolet radiation in high-altitude areas. By using special light stabilizers and antioxidants, the UV resistance of the markings has been significantly improved. This formula has shown excellent performance in practical applications in areas such as the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, effectively extending the service life of markings.

The salt spray corrosion environment in coastal areas poses special requirements for hot-melt coatings. TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. has enhanced the salt spray resistance of its coatings by adding anti-corrosion components and improving film-forming materials. Field tests have shown that the company’s products can effectively resist salt erosion in coastal areas and maintain long-term stable performance.

Climate adaptation adjustment of construction technology

TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. not only focuses on optimizing product formulas, but also emphasizes the climate adaptability of construction processes. For different climatic conditions, the company has developed detailed guidelines for adjusting construction parameters, including key aspects such as melting temperature control, selection of construction time, and control of solidification conditions. These technical guidelines help construction companies achieve ideal construction results in various climatic environments.

During the high temperature season, TOP ROAD Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. recommends taking measures such as segmented construction and staggered operations to avoid material overheating affecting construction quality. In low-temperature environments, it is recommended to use preheating equipment and insulation measures to ensure that the coating maintains a good construction condition. These targeted construction plans greatly enhance the adaptability of hot melt coatings under different climatic conditions.
