 What is Thermoplastic Striping Service?

Thermoplastic striping service involves applying a durable plastic material to roadways and parking lots to create traffic markings. This type of striping is known for its high visibility and long-lasting wear, making it an ideal choice for areas with heavy traffic and extreme weather. The process includes heating the thermoplastic material until it melts and then applying it to the asphalt where it bonds strongly upon cooling.

How Thermoplastic Striping Works

Keeping your parking lot in top shape starts with attention to detail, especially when it comes to cracks. Here’s how we ensure a thorough crack sealing process every time.

Surface Preparation

First, we meticulously clean the area where the stripes will be applied. Our team removes all debris, dust, and moisture to prepare a perfect surface for the thermoplastic material to adhere properly.

Heating the Material

Using specialized equipment, we heat the thermoplastic until it melts to the ideal consistency. This precise temperature control is key to preparing the material for application.

Application

Our advanced striping machines, which can be either hand-operated or mounted on a truck depending on the size of the project, apply the molten thermoplastic in smooth, even lines.

Adding Reflective Elements

We embed high-quality glass beads into the still-hot thermoplastic to enhance the visibility of the markings at night. This crucial step improves safety by making the stripes reflect light back to drivers in dark conditions.

Cooling and Setting

The thermoplastic quickly cools and hardens within minutes, creating durable, long-lasting road markings capable of withstanding heavy traffic and extreme weather.
