Thermoplastic line marking
Thermoplastic line marking is widely used for durable and long-lasting road and surface markings on asphalt and concrete. When heated and applied, the material bonds to the surface, creating highly visible lines that resist weathering, abrasion and fading.
Because it sets quickly, thermoplastic is ideal for busy areas such as car parks, schools, industrial yards and public highways, reducing disruption during installation. Glass beads are often added to improve night-time visibility, helping keep pedestrians, drivers and workers safe.
Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure long-term adhesion and a clean finish. Thanks to its low maintenance, reflectivity and long life, thermoplastic remains a leading choice for permanent traffic and safety applications.
