High-Performance BS 3262 Thermoplastic Road Marking Material Durable and Eco-Friendly for Long-Lasting Markings
Product Description
BS 3262 is a British Standard that specifies the requirements for thermoplastic road marking materials. These materials are designed for use in traffic markings on roads, highways, pedestrian crossings, and other public areas. The standard ensures that the thermoplastic paint offers high performance in terms of durability, reflectivity, and safety. Below is a detailed description of BS 3262 Thermoplastic Road Marking Material:
1. Composition
The thermoplastic road marking material described by BS 3262 is composed of several key components that provide its durability, reflectivity, and performance. These include:
- Resins: The primary binder that holds the paint together and adheres to the road surface. Typically, synthetic resins are used to provide good adhesion and resistance to wear.
- Pigments: Commonly titanium dioxide (for white markings) and lead-free pigments for yellow road markings. These pigments provide the bright colors needed for visibility and road safety.
- Glass Beads: Retro-reflective beads are embedded in the paint to enhance visibility, especially at night or in low-light conditions. These beads reflect headlights back to the driver, improving road safety.
- Fillers: Materials like calcium carbonate, silica, or other minerals are added to improve the physical properties of the paint, such as its texture, durability, and wear resistance.
- Additives: These may include anti-UV agents, plasticizers, and stabilizers to improve the longevity and performance of the material.
Applications
- Lane markings: White and yellow lines on highways, freeways, and urban roads.
- Pedestrian crossings: High-visibility crosswalks.
- Traffic symbols: Arrows, stop lines, and other markings.
- Parking lot lines: Marking of parking spaces and aisles.
- Bus and cycle lanes: Special lane markings to guide traffic.
Advantages:
- Longevity: Offers a long-lasting solution for road markings.
- High Visibility: Provides clear, reflective markings that improve safety for drivers.
- Cost-Effective: Despite the initial investment in materials and equipment, the durability and low maintenance needs of BS 3262 hot melt paint make it cost-effective in the long term.
Detailed Process of Hot Melt Road Marking Paint Construction
1. Road Cleaning
Before operation, the nearby area must be cleaned to ensure that there are no impurities such as oil, water, fallen leaves, weeds, ect., so as not to affect the adhesion effect, flatness and reflection effect of the line.
2. Set the Point and Mark Line
In the process of sampling, the calculation and measurement must be carried out in strict accordance with the construction drawings. Measure the several lanes that need to be drawn on the road, set the point, and then mark it with a stone pen. Use titanium dioxide powder to glue the rope for the elastic line. After the rope is removed, it will be corrected and improved to ensure that the line shape is clear and accurate.
3. Apply the Primer
The lower coating is a common binder in hot melt marking construction. It is applied to the highway road surface, which can make the hot melt coating better adhere to the road surface.
4. Spray the Paint
Before construction, first check the relevant coating equipment. Then heat the paint.
When the trolley moves forward, the paint will form a coating film on the road, and a layer of glass beads should be sprinkled on the coating film during the coating process.
When the trolley moves forward, take the reference line as the ruler, control the thickness and width of the line, and ensure the coordination, clarity and smoothness of the line connection between the straight line and the curve.
Note: During the coating process, in order to avoid the sedimentation and separation of the paint, it is necessary to stir the paint frequently.
5. Check and Correct
After the coating is completed, check and correct the line shape, check the spread of glass beads, etc.
After confirming that it is correct, the construction site will be cleaned up.
After the line is dried and hardened, the relevant construction equipment can be transferred, the safety facilities can be dismantled, and the traffic can be opened.
