Marking Coatings Play an Important Role in Guiding Road Users and Ensuring Smooth Flow of Traffic

Marking Coatings

 Marking coatings are reflective paints used in road marking in grey, orange, black, white, and yellow colors. These coatings are able to beam traffic in less than 15 minutes. Moreover, easy to apply by spray, roller, or brush. Marking coatings provide excellent adhesion to cemented substrate and UV resistance. Zebra crossing, ramps, speed humps, airport runway marking, park way, and highway are some of the major applications of marking coatings.

There are several types of marking coatings such as polyurethane-based cold applied durable marking paint, acrylate-based road marking, polyurethane-based cold applied durable marking paint, epoxy-based marking paint, and photo luminescent dark glow marking. Titanium dioxide is a major raw material used to manufacture marking coatings. With the increasing demand to mark zebra crossings, speed breakers, pavements, traffic zones on roads, the demand for marking coatings is also increasing rapidly. The market for marking coatings around the world is growing rapidly and today is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. market.

Marking coatings are generally made of non-toxic thermoplastic paints that are highly durable and eco-friendly. The industry has been utilizing the thermoplastic coating technology to create a wide range of highly decorative and stylish designs for vehicles, facilities, equipment, signage, and many more. Moreover, it is one of the most widely used and effective marking technologies. Moreover, there has been an increase in the installation of new traffic marking coatings in the last five years, which is mainly attributed to the implementation of environmental stewardship practices as part of the overall program to promote sustainable development of cities.

The most commonly found color in traffic paint is the white, which serves as an effective and economical alternative to many other paints in the market. Marking paints in different shades and textures are also available in the market, and the type of marking paint depends upon various factors such as your budget, purpose, and functionality. Marking coatings play a vital role in maintaining smoother movement of traffic, thereby reducing the number of road accidents. These coatings are corrosion resistant, environment-friendly, non-toxic, UV resistant, and easy-to-apply. Apart from traffic guidance, marking coatings also act as a tool for warning, controlling, and providing information to drivers.
