Thermoplastic CoatingWhat are the main characteristics of thermoplastic coatings? The main usage characteristics of thermoplastic coatings include excellent construction performance, with fast melting, good fluidity, and no sedimentation layer. They dry quickly, allowing traffic to resume within 3 minutes after application, without obstructing traffic during construction. Distinct confirmability, the surface of the marking coating has excellent anti-fouling and anti-yellowing properties, maintaining clarity for a long time. Reflective coatings have glass beads mixed in, which are spread evenly on the surface during construction, ensuring good adhesion and forming reflective markings under night lighting for better effect. Excellent durability and adhesion, thermoplastic road marking coatings are wear-resistant, pressure-resistant, and weather-resistant, not easily discolored by long-term exposure to rain, sunlight, and significant temperature changes. Center lines can last over 20 months, and pedestrian crossings at least 10 months. For cement construction, it is recommended to use a special primer from Land Rover Traffic for better adhesion.

　　Road Marking Construction CoatingManufacturer: How to properly construct thermoplastic coatings?

　　During construction, the curing speed of the coating and the distribution time of the reflective glass beads should be strictly controlled. The surface and internal structure of the coating should contain a certain amount of glass beads. If the curing time is too fast and the distribution time of the reflective glass beads is too late, fewer glass beads will embed into the coating, leading to rapid wear and loss due to vehicle traffic, resulting in a natural decline in reflective effect. On the other hand, if the curing speed of the thermoplastic road marking coating is slow and the embedding of reflective glass beads is fast, the beads may sink into the coating due to their weight, leaving almost no exposed parts, thus the initial reflective effect will definitely be insufficient. This is a major factor for poor light reflection during construction.

　　Road Marking Construction Coating Manufacturer: What are the main reasons for the widespread use of thermoplastic coatings?

　　The raw materials for thermoplastic road marking coatings do not contain volatile components. During construction, the powder coating is melted by heating and applied to the road surface, forming road markings after cooling. Due to the fast drying and high wear resistance of thermoplastic coatings, especially their good reflective effect at night, their use on high-grade roads is becoming increasingly widespread.

　　Road Marking Construction Coating Manufacturer: What impact does climate have on thermoplastic road marking coatings?

　　Thermoplastic road marking coatings are melted during construction and cool down during the process of loading and marking with the thermoplastic marking vehicle. Land Rover Traffic produces marking coatings, and excessively low surface temperatures can rapidly cool the high-temperature coating in a short time, directly affecting the degree of fusion between the coating and the asphalt road surface.
