What is Pre-Form Thermoplastic?
Pre-form thermoplastic is a durable, pre-cut material used for road and pavement markings. Unlike traditional paint, which requires precise application on-site, pre-form thermoplastic comes pre-manufactured in the shape and size needed for various markings. This material is heated on-site and applied to the pavement, creating a permanent bond.
The Advantages of Pre-Form Thermoplastic
- Durability: One of the most significant benefits of pre-form thermoplastic is its longevity. This material is designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like crosswalks, stop bars, and directional arrows. It can last up to eight times longer than traditional paint, reducing the need for frequent reapplication and maintenance.
- High Visibility: Safety is paramount when it comes to pavement markings. Pre-form thermoplastic offers superior visibility both day and night. The material includes glass beads that enhance reflectivity, ensuring that markings are clearly visible to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. This enhanced visibility contributes to overall road safety.
- Quick and Efficient Installation: Traditional pavement marking methods can be time-consuming, requiring road closures and extended drying times. Pre-form thermoplastic, on the other hand, allows for quick and efficient installation. The pre-cut shapes are easy to apply, reducing the time needed for road closures and minimizing disruptions to traffic.
- Cost-Effective: While the initial cost of pre-form thermoplastic may be higher than traditional paint, its durability and longevity make it a cost-effective solution in the long run. With fewer reapplications needed, businesses and municipalities can save on labor and material costs over time.
- Versatility: Pre-form thermoplastic is versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications, including custom logos, bike lanes, school zones, and more. Its flexibility makes it an ideal choice for both standard and custom pavement marking needs.
