In the field of road engineering, road markings are a common and easily visible type of sign. They not only provide direction for travelers but also serve as safety warnings, making them a crucial step after road construction. So, what paints and materials are commonly used for road markings? What types of equipment are used to produce road marking paint? Let's take a look at some recommendations from TATU Highway Group.

一、What paints and materials are used for road markings?
There are many types of road markings, each with its own advantages. It is difficult for many non-professionals to understand them all. Different marking materials and related equipment are used depending on the type and shape of the road markings. So how do you choose?
Taking vibratory hot-melt road marking paint as an example, firstly, based on the characteristics of hot-melt vibratory marking paint, TATU Highway Group brand hot-melt vibratory marking paint is a type of paint that uses high-melting-point hydrogenated petroleum resin as a base, high-quality rutile titanium dioxide or high-temperature resistant coating yellow as pigments, high-quality extender powder as filler, and special heat-resistant agents, leveling agents, plasticizers, impact-resistant agents, etc. Theoretical coverage: 4-5 kg/m², non-stick drying time: <5 minutes (23℃); secondly, based on the type of hot-melt marking application, such as ordinary hot-melt marking or hot-melt vibratory marking, it is more appropriate to choose which hot-melt marking machine is more suitable.
Depending on the type of hot-melt road marking, it can be used with ordinary hot-melt road marking machines, hot-melt vibratory road marking machines, etc. During the construction of hot-melt road markings, some auxiliary materials are also used, such as glass beads to enhance reflectivity.

Of course, hot-melt road marking paints aren't the only commonly used materials. There are also room-temperature marking paints (cold spray paint), two-component marking paints, and water-based marking paints. Different marking paints are used depending on the owner's specific requirements and the road's needs. For example, TATU Highway Group has been in the road marking industry for 24 years, independently developing and producing various types of road marking paints. They have strong quality control capabilities, ensuring the quality of their marking materials.
Furthermore, TATU Highway Group possesses mature and intelligent road marking paint production lines. They can not only provide road marking paints to owners but also offer EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) turnkey projects, including marking paint production plant planning, production process standardization, and complete sets of production equipment.
二、What equipment is used for producing road marking paint?
Single-unit equipment is insufficient for continuous, uniform, and large-scale production of road marking paint; it often requires various auxiliary equipment and manual operation. TianTu's multiple intelligent hot-melt road marking paint production lines effectively solve this problem.
The intelligent production lines provide precise raw material proportions, comprehensive and thorough homogenization mixing, fully intelligent operation and control throughout the process, and multi-node fully automated quality anomaly alerts, ensuring the high quality of the hot-melt road marking paint produced. TianTu is also one of the few domestic companies capable of producing hot-melt road marking paint according to various major global standards, including AASHTO-M249 (US Standard), BS3262 (British Standard), and Chinese Standard. Furthermore, TianTu can customize production according to customer requirements and the geographical environment and climate characteristics of the customer's region.
