THERMOPLASTIC ROAD MARKING PAINT

DESCRIPTION

RM 31P is a hot applied thermoplastic road marking paint. It is a petroleum resin based thermoplastic material, which offers superior weathering resistance and colour stability. The pre-mix and drop-on glass beads ensure long lasting retro-reflectivity. RM 31P is easy to melt and can be applied on both asphalt and concrete surface. It has excellent wear resistance to ensure long life of the marking.
