Visibility of road markings is of the utmost importance because it saves lives. Pedestrian paths, bike paths, and road markings can prevent collisions. Thermoplastic application is simply more noticeable than conventional paint.
Conventional paint simply cannot compete with thermoplastic application. Once heated and applied, the thermoplastic mixture bonds with the surface. Thermoplastic application holds up to the elements, water damage, and fading.
Especially during inclement weather, having as much skid resistance as possible is ideal. Thermoplastic application adds skid resistance to your pavement. Extra skid resistance is optimal on intersections, runways, and high traffic areas.

Customer Reviews & Quotes
What Is Thermoplastic Striping?
Thermoplastic striping is a method used for road marking that is known for its durability and high visibility. The process involves heating a mixture of glass beads, binder, pigment, and filler glass to 420 degrees before applying it as markings on various surfaces.
How Long Does Thermoplastic Striping Last?
Thermoplastic striping can resist damage from the elements, water, and fading. Although the exact lifespan can vary depending on factors like traffic volume and weather conditions, thermoplastic striping typically lasts several years before requiring a touch-up or replacement.
How Much Does Thermoplastic Striping Cost?
The cost of thermoplastic striping can vary based on several factors, including the size of the area to be striped, the complexity of the project, and local labor rates.
How Does Thermoplastic Striping Enhance Road Safety?
Thermoplastic striping enhances road safety by improving the visibility of road markings, which can help prevent collisions. It is more noticeable than conventional paint, especially in inclement weather. Thermoplastic striping also adds skid resistance, further enhancing safety in high-traffic areas.
How Long Does It Take for Thermoplastic Striping to Dry?
Thermoplastic striping typically cools down and hardens almost immediately after application. However, it is generally recommended to allow at least a few minutes for the striping to be fully set before allowing traffic on the surface.
Can Thermoplastic Striping Be Used on All Types of Road Surfaces?
Thermoplastic striping is versatile and can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including asphalt and concrete. It is suitable for use in various areas such as parking lots, crosswalks, bike lanes, airport runways, drive-through areas, intersections, medians, and road lines.
