Long-Lasting & High Visibility: Thermoplastic Line Marking in Croydon & Throughout the UK | Entire Surface Solutions Ltd

The application itself involves the following steps:

• The surface area is swept to rid it of grease, dust and moisture, which might otherwise interfere with the process.
• The thermoplastic line marking materials are applied to the ground and heated.
• Once fused to the surface, we add the chosen pigment and leave it to cool.
• This results in a hard-set resin that’s properly bonded to the surface.
• Upon request, we can revisit to maintain colour and reflectivity should it fade after long periods of wear and tear.

Clients will then enjoy permanent line markings that are highly resistant to both the elements, and manmade damage/tampering. Thermoplastic line marking is ideal for both external applications like playgrounds and roads, as well as interior environments like warehouses and car parks.

How It’s Made…

What sets thermoplastic line marking apart from other products/formulas employed within the line painting industry is that it’s a mix of synthetic resin and glass beads. The resin comes in the form of a solid powder. Our technicians heat this down so it can be applied to the surface. As we go, the 3mm glass beads are spread evenly throughout the resin. This results in a highly reflective end marking, which is also slip and skid resistant – perfect for use as road markings on highways or private road developments around Croydon, Orpington, Bromley, Harrow or the wider UK.

Keep in mind our approach to thermoplastic line marking is distinctly bespoke, and we work with different material grades designed to suit the specific requirements of a client/project. For example, a material which meets BS EN 1871 requirements for dry retro-reflectivity, or BS EN 1436 requirements for skid resistance.

Why Invest in Thermoplastic Line Marking?

• Durability – Thermoplastic resin can easily deal with high volumes of both foot and road traffic, and has been developed to resist degrading as a result of U.V exposure.
• Lifespan – Lasting between 3 and 6 years, thermoplastic line markings have 10x the lifespan of standard paint applications.
• Versatility – Choose from a wide selection of pigments to colour your markings however you’d like; this can improve visibility and help meet particular regulations governing required colour of road markings etc.
• Sustainability & Safety – The resin is both non-toxic and manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner. All materials we use are subject to COSHH assessment.
