Discover the difference between Ready-to-Use Cold Applied Road Marking Paint and Hot-Applied Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint in the Philippines.
Road marking paint is a crucial part of road safety in the Philippines. It's used to delineate lanes, crossings, and other traffic patterns, aiding drivers and pedestrians in navigating roads and highways. But selecting the right road paint can be a challenge. In this video, we'll compare two prevalent types of road paints in the Philippines: ready-to-use cold applied paint and thermoplastic paint.
Thermoplastic paint, a hot-applied road marking paint, is melted and applied to the road surface using a specialized heating machine. This paint is typically a blend of plastic resin, pigments, and glass beads applied on top of the melted paint. However, applying glass beads on top of a thermoplastic reflective coating for road markings has several disadvantages:
Reduced durability: The glass beads may not adhere as well, leading to reduced durability and effectiveness over time.
Uneven distribution: This could result in less reflective areas, reducing overall visibility and increasing the risk of accidents.
Limited adhesion: Thermoplastic coatings may not provide a sufficiently adhesive surface for the glass beads.
Cost: This method may be more expensive as it requires an additional step and potentially more materials.
On the other hand, ready-to-use cold applied road marking paint, such as those provided by Davies Paints, is designed to be applied directly to the road surface without the need for heating or special equipment. This water-based paint can be easily applied using a roller or brush, and it dries quickly, allowing for faster road re-opening times.
One of the main advantages of this type of paint application is its versatility across a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for various weather conditions in the Philippines. The paint is also highly reflective and can contain glass beads to improve visibility at night or in low-light conditions, making it an excellent choice for reflectorized traffic paint.
Ready-to-use road marking paint with glass beads incorporated in it offers long-lasting reflectivity and improved visibility for drivers and pedestrians. The glass beads in the paint are small, transparent spheres added during the manufacturing process, resulting in an even distribution throughout the paint film. The refractive index of these beads enhances the paint's reflective properties, making the road markings more visible, even in low-light conditions or when viewed from a distance.
The use of glass beads in road marking paint is common in many countries, including the Philippines, and is often required by transportation departments as part of road safety regulations. When used in conjunction with other road safety measures, such as proper signage and traffic signals, road marking paint with glass beads can help reduce the risk of accidents and improve overall road safety.
When considering road paint cost in the Philippines, it's important to factor in the long-term benefits of each type of paint. While thermoplastic paint may initially seem more cost-effective, the additional steps and materials required for its application may increase costs over time. On the other hand, ready-to-use cold applied paint, while potentially more expensive upfront, may offer more value in the long run due to its durability and ease of application.
