Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint: Durable, Reflective And Road-Safe

Introduction: Why Road Marking Paint Matters

Clear, long-lasting road markings are essential for reducing accidents, guiding traffic, and ensuring safe navigation—day and night. Among the many solutions available, thermoplastic road marking paint stands out for its durability, high reflectivity, and road safety performance. For governments, contractors, and urban planners, choosing the right road paint can significantly improve road infrastructure safety and visibility.

In India, ALCOlite is a trusted name offering IS 164/2015-compliant thermoplastic road marking paint engineered for all weather conditions and heavy traffic flow.

What is Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint?

Thermoplastic road marking paint is a hot-melt reflective material made with synthetic resins, glass beads, and pigments. Heated to 180–200°C and applied on asphalt or concrete, it cools quickly to form a thick, wear-resistant layer that withstands extreme conditions.

Key Benefits:

1. High Durability – Withstands heavy vehicular traffic for up to 2–3 years.
2. Retro-Reflectivity – Ensures visibility in low light and rain.
3. Quick Drying – Roads reopen within minutes after application.
4. Anti-Skid Properties – Increases grip for vehicle tires and pedestrian safety.

Why Choose Thermoplastic Paint Over Traditional Paint?

Thermoplastic paint may have a higher upfront cost, but it offers significant long-term savings with reduced maintenance.

Common Applications of Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint

1. Highways and Expressways
2. Urban Roadways
3. Zebra Crossings and Speed Breakers
4. Parking Lots
