Types:

1. Thermoplastic Paint :This type of paint is heated to a molten state before application, allowing it to bond effectively with the road surface upon cooling. Applied using heat, thermoplastic paint forms a durable bond with the road surface, capable of withstanding heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions.

2. Cold Plastic Paint: Cold plastic road marking paint is a two-component system comprising a resin base and a curing agent. It offers excellent adhesion, durability, and visibility, even in harsh weather conditions. Cold plastic paint is commonly used for road markings in urban areas and crosswalks.

3. Epoxy Paint: Offering exceptional durability and resistance to chemicals and abrasion, epoxy paint is commonly used for indoor applications such as parking garages and warehouses. It provides long-lasting, high-visibility markings.

4. Water-Based Paint: Water-based road marking paint is environmentally friendly and easy to apply. It contains water as a solvent, making it safer for the environment and applicators. Although not as durable as thermoplastic or cold plastic paint, water-based paint is suitable for temporary markings and low-traffic areas.

Composition：

Road marking paints are typically composed of three main components:

Binders: Binders hold the pigment particles together and adhere the paint to the road surface. Common binder materials include acrylic, epoxy, and thermoplastic resins.

Pigments: These provide color and visibility to the markings. Reflective pigments, such as glass beads, may also be added to enhance visibility at night or in low-light conditions.

Solvents: Solvents help maintain the paint’s viscosity during application and facilitate drying. Environmentally friendly formulations may use water-based solvents instead of traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
