Road marking is defined as devices or materials used on the road surface to convey official information. These markings are also applicable to other services used by vehicles in marking spaces for parking purposes and specified areas for other uses. The main purpose of road markings is to control and guide traffic on highways, city roads and on road crossings. They are an essentials part of traffic signs. These markings have effects of a psychological barrier and define the traffic path and lateral clearance from traffic accidents for the safety of vehicles and peddlers. Thus, these road markings are crucial for the safety of people and ensure a smooth, safe and continuous flow of traffic. There are various types of road markings present including longitudinal markings, transverse markings, unique markings and object markings to tell the driver about hazardous locations. Road markings are defined by lines, words, patterns and other devices, signs, and objects adjacent to the path for a warning, guiding, informing and guiding the travellers. These road markings are classified as transverse markings, longitudinal markings, object markings, marking for parking areas, word messages and hazardous locations marking, etc.
Thermoplastic Road Marking Project
There are specified processes for road markings called road marking project. Particular substances like paints are formed by approved ways by authorities. The paint team use arrows, text and letters to define relative positions in measured form, thermoplastic paint gets sprayed and then reflective plastic pellets are thrown over it. The used white paint is made of raw materials of the thermoplastic resin that contains titanium dioxide pigment and small reflective glass beads in mixed form. On national highways and critical paths, this is applied using specified road marking machines and vehicles that spray the white paint under controlled environment by digital devices. Still, it is necessary to be highly precise while doing it and at the right pace suitable to conditions. So, these tasks are performed by highly trained persons and skillful steersman.
Hand Push Road Marking Machine for White Line Marking
On smaller roads, the job becomes trickier as the clearances get decreased. This time, paint gets sprayed from a laying pram, defined as a single metal trolley that is fitted with a heater containing the paint fluid. One has to ensure that paint gets thrown on right rate, so lines acquire right width and thickness, to gain good patterns, the flow's timing is vital to be correct. This paint achieves solid powder form at room temperature. For preparing it, the thermoplastic paint is put into a kettle named thermoplastic pre-heater, to melt and mix the molten paint.
