visible, and skid-resistant pedestrian crossings. Thermoplastic road marking paint, also called hot melt marking paint, is heated up to 200 °C (392 °F) and then applied on the road surface. After cooling, it forms a thick polymer layer that is wear-resistant, bright, and highly reflective. To improve safety, reflective glass beads and coarse fillers are added for increased anti-skid performance, reducing the risk of slips and accidents in wet or snowy conditions. The markings harden quickly, making the surface ready for use within minutes, and can be produced in various colors, suitable for zebra crossings, car parks, factory walkways, and other pedestrian zones.
