There are two most common types of materials used in Florida for pavement markings.  Both applications have very different characteristics when it comes to longevity and durability when applied correctly.  Southwide has the experience to install all types of pavement markings.  When deciding which type of material to use, an owner/agency must consider a number of factors such as: pavement type and condition and the desired frequency of restriping.  

TRAFFIC PAINT

Traffic paint is the most widely used pavement marking material.  It is the lowest initial cost marking material and can be used on all pavement surfaces as both temporary and permanent marking.  

WATERBORNE PAINT

Enviromentally friendly and easy to clean it contains no Volatile Organic Components (VOC’s).  It is based on a proven acrylic emulsion technology and is formulated for use in a wide range of applications.  Our paint is FDOT tested and approved and can be applied over any existing material on any pavement surface.  It dries to “no track” in 2 min or less under standard conditions which minimizes traffic control in most cases.  

HIGH BUILD WATERBORNE PAINT

Referred to as High Build paint, it is a more durable version of traditional water-based paint.  It is applied thicker and lasts twice as long as regular paint.

THERMOPLASTIC

Striping is a vital part of road paving jobs and thermoplastic is the best choice for finishing the project.  It has dominated the traffic marking industry for decades and continues to be the product of choice because of its durability, long wearing traits and reflectivity.  If you are looking for a road marking method that will last for several years thermoplastic is indeed your very cost effective solution based on its balance between cost and performance longevity.

Thermoplastic is a granular material that consists of pigments, binders and glass beads that becomes a liquid when heated to 400 degrees.  One unique characteristic of thermoplastic striping is the use of glass beads in the material making it reflective as the material wears.  Thermo is ready for use almost immediately, once it is applied it starts to harden as it cools making lane closures minimal if any.
