Road markings can be lines, arrows, numbers and letters, but also pictograms and other signs. Thermoplastic road markings are increasingly used on public roads and squares. Thanks to their special colour properties, the signs are highly visible both day and night. Perhaps most importantly, these markings are long-lasting.
Advantages of thermoplastic road markings
Road traffic is becoming ever denser and faster. As a result, the demands placed on road users have increased. They need to be able to absorb the information coming at them quickly and process it correctly. High-quality, reliable road markings help road users to find their way more easily. Graco machines can be used to apply these thermoplastic road markings. Graco offers a range of machines, which are described in more detail below.
