TYPES OF MARKINGS

There are five main types of road markings that DBI Prismo applies:

Hot Thermoplastic

Hot thermoplastic is a hard wearing material for heavily trafficked roads. It hardens within 60 seconds of application and can be applied as a flat or profiled line. It is applied by screed, spray or extrusion.

Preformed Thermoplastic

This product is supplied in ready-made form as either standard lines or precut logos and designs. Preformed thermoplastic is ideal for complex logo designs and lower trafficked areas including car parks. It is applied by hand using a gas torch.

Cold Plastic Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)

A two compound road marking system which is highly durable and is suitable for use in areas with high traffic wear such as roundabouts, box junctions, give-way lines and heavily trafficked roads. It is applied by either hand or machine.

Solvent Based Paint

Due to its solvent base, this product has a fast drying time. It performs well on asphalt and concrete and has excellent glass bead retention. It is applied using spray.

Water Based Paint

This paint contains no organic solvents and is therefore ideal for environmentally friendly areas. Thicker application enables the use of larger glass for improved reflectivity in wet conditions. It is applied using spray.
