Wax in road markings
Polyethylene wax in the production of thermoplastics for road markings
Thermoplastic is a polymer material consisting of a mixture of thermoplastic resin with a plasticizer, filler, glass beads and pigment, as well as other additives to improve performance. It is a highly viscous bulk material intended for application to the road surface of highways.
Polyethylene wax has unique advantages - high melting point, hardness and extremely low melt viscosity. It is considered an ideal high-performance additive to achieve significantly improved road marking quality.
The listed advantages of polyethylene wax are achieved when added in the range of 1-5% (of the total composition).
Polyethylene wax also acts as an anti-adhesive additive in the upper layer of the coating, repels dirt, thereby increasing the service life of road markings.
The main advantages of using thermoplastics for road markings
- Lower viscosity and application temperature;
- Increased softening point;Excellent abrasion resistance;
- Improved lubricating characteristics;
- Facilitates dispersibility;
- Thinner and clearer markings;
- Good resistance to black marking;
- Better adhesion.
We recommend the brands of polyethylene wax Syntowax E 12P (50P), Syntowax E 13F (175F), Syntowax E 15P/G (200TD) for the production of thermoplastics for road markings.
