DESCRIPTION
Hot applied road marking paint con-
sists of a light colored aggregates,
pigment, extender, and glass beads,
bound together with a thermoplastic
resin, plasticized as necessary. When
in molten state after heating, it is
applied hot to the road surfaces, using
screed, Extrusion, or sprayed applica-
tion. The material is ENVIROMENT
FRIENDLY consisting of 100/o solids,
no solvents & Organic yellow pigment.

APPLICATION GUIDE

SURFACE PREPARATION MATERIAL APPLICATION AFTERCARE

The road surface must be dry and free from dust,
dirt, mud, grease, salt, and any other contaminate.
The temperature of the road surface must be below
60OC and the 10Oc. Road Marking applied to new
or abnormally hot bituminous surface can become
disclosed or obliterated by the transfer of bitumi-
nous by vehicle tiers. Material must be applied at
least 710 days newly applied Asphalt surface and
may vary depending on bitumen content in Asphalt
& Weather Conditions. The material can be laid
over existing thermoplastic marking if the original
marking are sound. If not, old thermoplastic has to
be removed before applying new material.
On badly worn bituminous and concrete, road
surface must be treated with primer or other
approved material prior to application of thermo-
plastic.

Pigment
The white pigment is TITANIUM DIOXIDE (anatase or
rutile) complying with BS 1851 and its content is such
that to give a minimum luminance factor of 70/o.
Sufficiently heat stable ORGANIC PIGMENT is the
yellow pigment used. Its content depends on the color
required and not required and not to exceed 5o/o by
mass.
Extender
The extender is calcium carbonate prepared from
natural chalk.
Binder
The binder is plasticized synthetic resin, plasticized
natural resins or rosins. The viscosity and wetting
properties of the binder at the application temperature
give a composition that can be applied satisfactory.

used after solidifying providing the total time in
molten state has not exceeded 6 hours.
Newly applied road marking must be coned, or
blocked by any other means of traffic safety, and
should not be subject to any traffic for minimum
of 12 hours to achieve best result.
AVAILABLE PACKS
The material is supplied in
powder/granule from packed in
approximately 25kg plastic sacks.
Shelf life: years from date of manufacture in original
