<\/a>What are Thermoplastic Pavement Markings?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\nThermoplastic pavement markings are a specially formulated type of polymer that turns into liquid form when exposed to high levels of heat; 392 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact! Once cooled, or cured<\/em> as we pavement contractors say in the industry, thermoplastic pavement markings turn back into a solid. For this reason, they are used in a wide range of industries all across the world, including in applications for machinery parts and hardware, consumer goods, packaging, medical instruments and devices, stored materials, and of course, road safety and paving.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHot Melt Marking Paint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn terms of road safety and paving applications, thermoplastic pavement markings are used as paint, also known as hot melt marking paint<\/em>. As mentioned, this paint is heated to the high level of 392\u00b0F, which is the necessary temperature in order for thermoplastic marking paint to turn into a liquid. Once in liquid form, it can be applied to all sorts of flat, grounded surfaces in parking lots, roads, streets, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor many pavement markings, templates, cut-outs, and stencils are used to create the needed symbol, marking, sign, or directive. Once the paint is poured, it is allowed to completely cool and hardened. At that point, the stencil is removed and what\u2019s left is thick, wear-resistant markings that will last for years with good pavement care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
