Application of Thermoplastic Road Paints

  1. The asphalt surface must be dry and clear of debris, grease, and loose items.
  2. You can apply Roadex Thermoplastic paint using a screed at 190°C ten °C and a spray at 210°C 10°C. Manually applying special marking is an option.
  3. In a pre-heater, Roadex TP Paint is heated to 190°C 10°C (Boiler).
  4. To ensure that the material is fully melted and blended, we must add Roadex TP bags to the boiler one at a time. Before moving the material to the application machine, it is mixed for a short time at a temperature of 180°C 10°C to create a flowable viscosity.
  5. Apply 400–500 gm/sqm of glass beads to the freshly heated marking.
