Paint

Traffic paint is one of the most widely used and versatile pavement marking materials. Paint is a low cost marking which can be used on all pavement surfaces as a permanent or temporary marking. There are two types of traffic paint that we use. Which paint is used depends on the time of year.

Waterborne Paint is a water based paint that is versatile and quick drying reaching a no track condition quickly.

• Advantages
  • Reasonably quick “no track” dry time (still requires coning)
  • Low unit cost
  • Easy clean up, environmentally friendly (No VOC's)
  • Versatility; can be applied over any material on any surface
  • Use as a permanent marking and as a temporary marking
    
    
• Disadvantages
  • If it rains immediately after application paint washes away
  • One year or less durability
  • Requires coning or exceedingly long convoys on freeways
  • Seasonal limits May 1st to October 1st

Regular Dry Paint is also a versatile material that is also quick drying.

• Characteristics
  • Identical to waterborne paint
  • Used as a substitute to Waterborne paint from October 1st to May 1st with a minimal price adjustment
