Thermoplastic road marking paint is a 100% solid, environmentally and user safe compound containing binder, pigments, glass beads,performance addititves, and fillers, which becomes liquid when heated over 180～200℃ (356～391℉). Pigments provide color and chromaticity performance; fillers, such as calcium carbonate, add bulk and provide a certain strength and anti-skid performance; and binders, performance addititives, provide toughness, flexibility and bond strength while holding all the components together. Intermixed and drop-on glass beads provide retroreflectivity for nighttime visibility of the pavement marking. There are generally four types of applications.
