The ingredients in the mix do the following:

• The binder is resin or rosin and plasticizer that hold all ingredients together.
• The pigment supplies the color.
• Glass beads with the pigment provide the retro-reflectivity and visibility.
• Filler material provides the bulk.

Temperature is the most important factor in the preparation and application of thermoplastic road marking paint

• When heated to the recommended temperature and properly mixed, the dry powder/granules become a homogenized liquid.
• Then, the melted thermoplastic material, when applied, forms a thermal bond between the material and the upper surface of the asphalt.
• Also, if applied on porous surfaces, the melted thermoplastic material fills all gaps creating mechanical and thermal bond on concrete and asphalt respectively.

Since the applied thermoplastic material is raised above the road surface, with the glass beads, pre-mixed and dropped on, it provide better visibility at day, night and wet conditions. Thus, contribute significantly to road safety for all its users.
