Road markings
Polyethylene wax in the production of thermoplastics for road marking
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. A highly viscous bulk material is 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 marking:
- 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.
The types of polyethylene wax, such as Plastowax 50P, Plastowax 200TD, Plastowax 175F, are recommended for the production of thermoplastics for road marking. We send free samples.
