thermoplastic markings

Thermoplastic markings are a type of road marking made from a coloring compound that becomes soft when heated and hardens quickly as it cools. They are applied to road surfaces to create durable, highly visible lines and symbols, such as lane lines, crosswalks, and stop bars. These markings are preferred because they are long-lasting, reflect well at night, and are resistant to weather and wear. The thermoplastic material is heated until melted, then spread onto the road, where it cools rapidly to form a solid, durable marking that enhances safety and traffic management.
