Materials used in our line marking services
G& T Linemarking offer a range of line marking services and carpark line marking to clients in Brisbane and SEQ.
We have years of experience using both Waterborne and Chlorinated Rubber paints. Waterborne paints are best utilized for external applications, such as driveways and car parks, whilst Chlorinated Rubber paints are better utilized for high traffic areas, such as inside factories and distribution centers.
Here is a short overview of the materials we often use as part of our line marking services.
- Thermoplastics: Based on modified esters, thermoplastics must be heated to approximately 200 degrees centigrade before it can be applied to hard surfaces. Once applied however, it solidifies immediately and so is best used on surfaces where longer processes would hold up traffic for too long. You can also use thermoplastics for turning lanes, pedestrian crossings and hazard lane markings.
- Latex paint: Containing a mix of acrylic and water, this polymer resin takes much longer than thermplastics to dry on hard surfaces. This is because latex paint only dries as the water in the paint evaporates in the sun, causing traffic to back up for miles. It also doesn't last as long as thermoplastics and needs to be reapplied more frequently.
- Plural components: These have a mix of epoxy or an isocyanate catalyst with an amine resin, both need to be heated before use, but the isocyanate catalyst mix dries and hardens in 2 to 3 minutes, whilst the epoxy mix takes 15 to 30 minutes to dry. Due to their faster drying times, both of these materials are much better for line marking busy roads than latex paint, but the isocyanate catalyst mix needs to be painted onto clean surfaces, so it isn't always suitable for all projects.
