General-Purpose Reflective Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint

Cost-Effective Hot-Melt Marking Material for Parking Areas, Industrial Parks and Local Roads

🛣️ Product Overview

General-Purpose Reflective Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint is a practical hot-applied pavement marking material designed for parking areas, industrial parks, local roads and municipal maintenance projects.

The product is supplied as a dry thermoplastic mixture containing resin binder, graded aggregates, pigments, fillers and functional additives. After controlled heating, it is applied with suitable thermoplastic marking equipment and forms a hard marking layer as it cools.

This product is manufactured with reference to JT/T 280-2004, the Chinese transport industry standard for pavement marking materials.

White and yellow are the standard colors. Orange-red and other customized colors can be supplied for parking management, industrial zoning and traffic-warning applications.

◆ Key Product Advantages

◆ Practical General-Purpose Formulation

This product is intended for projects that require a balance between marking performance, construction convenience and purchasing cost.

It is suitable for parking areas, industrial access roads, local streets and road-maintenance projects that do not require the higher premixed-glass-bead configuration of the JT/T 280-2022 product.

✦ Reflective Marking System

The material can be used with compatible reflective glass beads.

Drop-on glass beads applied during construction provide initial nighttime retroreflection under vehicle headlights. Premixed beads may also be included according to the confirmed product formulation.

Actual retroreflective performance depends on glass bead quality, application rate, bead embedment, marking thickness, surface wear and construction quality.

⬢ Wear and Compression Resistance

After cooling, the thermoplastic binder and aggregate system forms a hard and cohesive marking layer.

The material is designed to withstand normal vehicle traffic in parking areas, industrial parks, local roads and similar applications.

Service performance depends on traffic volume, heavy-vehicle frequency, pavement condition, marking thickness and installation quality.

☀ Outdoor Weather Resistance

The product is designed for normal outdoor exposure to sunlight, rainfall and seasonal temperature changes.

For projects in extremely hot, cold, humid or high-altitude environments, buyers should provide local climate information before ordering so that the formulation can be evaluated.

No thermoplastic material should be described as completely immune to softening, cracking or aging under every climate and construction condition.

✓ Fast Cooling and Efficient Installation

The product is heated before application and hardens as it cools.

This allows relatively fast traffic reopening after the marking has cooled and passed an on-site inspection, helping contractors complete small and medium-sized projects efficiently.

◈ Flexible Color and Packaging Options

Standard white and yellow products are normally available.

Orange-red, red, blue, green, grey and black can be evaluated for customized orders. Neutral packaging, English export packaging and private-label service are also available subject to order confirmation.

📍 Typical Applications

This general-purpose product is suitable for:

• Residential parking areas
• Commercial parking lots
• Industrial parks
• Warehouse and logistics areas
• Local and rural roads
• Municipal street maintenance
• School and hospital internal roads
• Tourist-area access roads

For high-speed roads, heavy-traffic highways or projects requiring JT/T 280-2022, the higher-performance product should be selected separately.

🧱 Suitable Road Surfaces

Asphalt Pavement

The asphalt surface must be clean, dry and structurally sound.

Remove dust, loose particles, mud, oil and standing water before application. A compatible primer may be required on aged, polished or low-adhesion asphalt.

Concrete Pavement

Concrete must be fully cured, dry and free from laitance, curing compounds, oil and loose particles.

A suitable road marking primer is normally recommended to improve adhesion between the concrete and thermoplastic marking.

Thermoplastic material should not be applied directly over loose or severely sanded concrete without surface repair.

🔧 Application Guidance

1. Prepare the Surface

Clean the application area thoroughly and ensure that the pavement is dry.

Repair damaged or unstable areas before marking installation.

2. Apply Primer When Required

Use compatible primer on concrete, aged asphalt or surfaces with insufficient adhesion.

Allow the primer to reach the specified condition before applying the thermoplastic material.

3. Heat the Material Gradually

Heat the material with continuous agitation in suitable thermoplastic preheating equipment.

The general application range is 180–220°C. The final temperature should be adjusted according to the confirmed technical data sheet, equipment and weather conditions.

Insufficient heating may cause poor flow and incomplete melting. Excessive or prolonged heating may damage the resin and affect color and adhesion.

4. Apply the Marking

Apply the molten material with professional thermoplastic road marking equipment.

Control line width, marking thickness and application speed according to the project specification.

5. Apply Drop-On Glass Beads

Where nighttime reflection is required, apply compatible drop-on glass beads evenly while the marking surface is still molten.

Correct bead embedment is important for reliable initial retroreflection.

6. Reopen to Traffic

Allow the marking to cool and harden completely.

Reopen the area only after the contractor has confirmed that the marking is stable and suitable for traffic.

📦 Packaging and Storage

Standard packaging is 25 kg per moisture-resistant woven bag.

Store the product in a dry and ventilated warehouse. Protect unopened bags from rainfall, direct sunlight and ground moisture.

Damaged or wet packaging may cause moisture absorption and material agglomeration.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between this product and the JT/T 280-2022 version?

This product is a general-purpose formulation manufactured with reference to JT/T 280-2004.

It is mainly intended for parking areas, industrial parks, local roads and maintenance projects.

The JT/T 280-2022 version is positioned for projects requiring the newer standard and a higher premixed-glass-bead configuration.

Q2: Can this product be used on municipal roads?

Yes, it can be used on suitable municipal maintenance and local-road projects.

The buyer should first confirm the standard and test indicators specified in the tender or project document.

Q3: Can customized colors be supplied?

Yes. White and yellow are standard colors.

Orange-red, red, blue, green, grey and black can be evaluated according to the requested color reference and order quantity.

Q4: Can it be applied on old concrete?

Yes, but the concrete must be repaired, cleaned and dried before application.

Loose or sanded surfaces should be mechanically prepared, and a compatible primer is normally required.

Q5: How long does the marking last?

Service life depends on traffic volume, marking thickness, road condition, climate, surface preparation and application quality.

For low-traffic parking and industrial areas, the marking may provide extended service when correctly installed, but a fixed lifespan should not be guaranteed without project-condition data.

Q6: Are reflective glass beads supplied separately?

Yes. Compatible drop-on glass beads and road marking primer can be supplied together with the thermoplastic material.

Q7: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide:

• Required quantity
• Destination country and port
• Required color
• Road surface type
• Applicable standard
• Packaging requirements
• Expected delivery date
