Description
Road markings are not just paint on the surface. They are critical traffic safety elements that guide vehicles,
protect pedestrians, organize lanes, and improve night-time driving visibility. For contractors and buyers,
poor-quality road marking material can lead to premature wear, color fading, poor adhesion, frequent rework,
and higher maintenance cost.
Our BS 3262 thermoplastic road marking paint is developed to help customers achieve a better balance
between road safety, project efficiency, and long-term cost control. Once properly heated and applied, the material
forms a dense, durable, and wear-resistant marking layer with strong color performance, good skid resistance,
and stable application behavior.
What This Product Brings to Your Business
1. Longer Service Life on the Road
Durable markings reduce the frequency of maintenance and repainting. This helps contractors protect project quality,
while helping distributors and end users reduce lifecycle cost.
2. High Visibility for Better Road Safety
Bright white and yellow color performance improves daytime recognition, while the formulation supports clear line
presentation for roads, intersections, parking areas, and industrial traffic routes.
3. More Stable Application Performance
Good melting behavior and controlled application properties help trained teams work more efficiently with less waste,
improving jobsite consistency and helping projects move faster.
4. Flexible Sourcing for Different Markets
Different countries, road types, temperatures, and equipment setups require different performance priorities.
We support custom formulation adjustment based on your target market and construction conditions.
5. Easier Market Development for Importers and Distributors
With OEM packaging, private labeling, free samples, export support, and technical communication, we help partners
launch or expand their own road marking material business more smoothly.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Many buyers come to us after experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Road markings wear out too quickly under heavy traffic

Application Guide and Important Use Notes
1. Surface Preparation
The road surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, mud, loose particles, and other contaminants.
Proper surface preparation is essential for better adhesion and longer marking service life.
2. Storage Conditions
Store under cover in a dry, cool, ventilated area, protected from moisture. Stock should be rotated and used
within 12 months from the date of manufacture. Improper storage conditions may lead to undesirable issues such as
color change, serious hardening, and other quality problems.
3. Application Method
Application requires trained personnel and specialized equipment. The material can be applied by
spraying, screed, extrusion, or even by hand scraper,
depending on the project type and equipment used.
4. Heating Temperature
The material should be heated to an application temperature of 180°C to 200°C,
with a maximum temperature of 230°C. Excessive overheating may negatively affect performance.
5. Film Thickness and Consumption
General marking thickness is 1.5-3.0 mm, with a recommended thickness of 2.0 mm.
Material consumption is approximately 3-5 kg/m², depending on application method,
thickness, and road surface condition.
6. Practical Recommendation
Before large-scale construction, trial application is recommended to confirm adhesion, thickness, line appearance,
and compatibility with equipment and local environmental conditions.
