In Vietnam, all road marking materials used in government and infrastructure projects must comply with TCVN (Vietnamese National Standards), particularly TCVN 8791:2011 for thermoplastic road marking paint and TCVN 8787:2018 for two-component road marking paint. As a leading Chinese road marking paint manufacturer, Shandong Lumei Traffic Facilities Co., Ltd. specializes in producing TCVN-compliant road marking paint for export to Vietnam, ensuring project approval and long-term performance.

This article explains the importance of TCVN standards for Vietnam road marking, key requirements of TCVN 8791:2011, and how Shandong Lumei’s products meet these standards.

Why TCVN Standards Are Critical for Vietnam Road Marking Paint

TCVN standards are mandatory for all road marking materials used in Vietnam’s public infrastructure projects. Compliance ensures:

Quality and safety: TCVN standards set minimum requirements for durability, reflectivity, adhesion, and weather resistance, ensuring road lines are safe and long-lasting.

Project approval: Vietnamese authorities (Ministry of Transport, local Department of Transport) will only approve projects using TCVN-compliant materials.

Consistency: TCVN standards ensure uniform quality across all road marking projects in Vietnam.

Liability protection: Using non-compliant paint can lead to project rejection, fines, or liability for traffic accidents caused by poor road markings.

Key Requirements of TCVN 8791:2011 (Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint)

TCVN 8791:2011 is Vietnam’s primary standard for thermoplastic road marking paint, covering technical specifications, test methods, and compliance criteria. Key requirements include:

Chemical Composition

Minimum 15% thermoplastic resin (petroleum-based)

Minimum 10% pigment (titanium dioxide for white, chrome yellow for yellow)

Maximum 60% filler (calcium carbonate, quartz sand)

15–20% glass beads for reflective paint.

Physical Properties

Melting temperature: 180–220°C

Viscosity at 200°C: ≤5 Pa·s

Curing time: ≤15 minutes at 25°C

Softening point: ≥90°C.

Mechanical Properties

Adhesion strength: ≥1.5 MPa (pull-off test)

Hardness: ≥60 Shore D

Wear resistance: ≤50 mg weight loss after 1000 Taber cycles

Crack resistance: No cracking after 5 thermal cycles (-20°C to 60°C).

Reflective Properties (Reflective Paint)

Initial retroreflectivity: ≥150 mcd/m²/lx (white), ≥100 mcd/m²/lx (yellow)

Retroreflectivity after wear: ≥80 mcd/m²/lx (white), ≥50 mcd/m²/lx (yellow).

Color Stability

Color fading: ≤2 grades on Gray Scale after 1000 hours of UV exposure.

Shandong Lumei Traffic Facilities Co., Ltd. is a Chinese road marking paint manufacturer that produces 100% TCVN-compliant products for Vietnam. Our TCVN standard road marking paint meets or exceeds all requirements of TCVN 8791:2011 and TCVN 8787:2018:

Strict Raw Material ControlWe source premium raw materials to meet TCVN composition requirements:

High-purity petroleum resin for excellent durability and adhesion

UV-resistant pigments (titanium dioxide, chrome yellow) for long-lasting color

High-quality glass beads (ASTM E1478 certified) for maximum reflectivity

Premium fillers for wear resistance.

Advanced Production ProcessOur automated production lines ensure precise mixing of raw materials, consistent quality, and compliance with TCVN physical and mechanical properties. Every batch is produced under strict process control to meet melting temperature, viscosity, and curing time requirements.

Comprehensive Quality TestingBefore export, every batch of our TCVN road marking paint undergoes 12 rigorous tests in our in-house laboratory, including:

Melting point and viscosity test

Adhesion and hardness test

Wear resistance and crack resistance test

Retroreflectivity measurement

UV stability test

We provide official test reports and TCVN compliance certificates for every shipment.

Vietnam-Specific OptimizationWe further optimize our TCVN paint for Vietnam’s tropical climate:

Added anti-moisture additives to resist heavy rainfall and high humidity

Enhanced UV resistance to withstand intense sunlight

Improved adhesion for both asphalt and concrete surfaces common in Vietnam.
