Leadens Contracting uses Ennis-Flint thermoplastic marking materials for long-wearing and highly visible markings. Thermoplastic pavement markings offer several advantages over traditional paint or epoxy-based markings. These advantages include:
Durability: Thermoplastic markings are highly durable and have a longer lifespan compared to paint or epoxy markings. They can withstand heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, and UV exposure without fading or deteriorating quickly. This durability reduces the frequency of maintenance and reapplication, saving time and costs.
Visibility: Thermoplastic markings are highly visible, providing excellent contrast against the pavement surface. Their bright colors and reflective properties enhance visibility, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions, improving safety for drivers and pedestrians.
Skid Resistance: Thermoplastic markings have anti-skid properties, offering better traction for vehicles. The surface texture of thermoplastic markings helps reduce the risk of skidding or slipping, particularly in wet or slippery conditions, promoting safer driving conditions.
Quick Drying and Curing: Thermoplastic markings have a rapid drying and curing time. Once applied and heated, they cool and solidify quickly, allowing for faster reopening of the marked areas to traffic. This quick turnaround time minimizes disruption and inconvenience for road users.
Longevity: Thermoplastic markings have an extended lifespan compared to paint or epoxy-based markings. They can last several times longer, reducing the frequency of reapplication and maintenance. This longevity makes them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Environmental Benefits: Thermoplastic markings are environmentally friendly. They are free from harmful solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) typically found in paint or epoxy. Moreover, thermoplastic markings can be removed and recycled, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Customizability: Thermoplastic markings offer flexibility in design and customization. They can be used to create a variety of symbols, letters, numbers, and line patterns. This allows for clear and precise marking of roadways, parking lots, crosswalks, and other designated areas.
