FAQ – Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint Manufacturers
1. What is the difference between BS 3262 and AASHTO M249 standards?
BS 3262 is the British specification for hot-applied road marking materials, while AASHTO M249 is the American equivalent, emphasizing flow resistance and glass bead performance. CAMELWAY formulations comply with both, ensuring universal compatibility.
2. How long does thermoplastic paint last on roads?
Under normal traffic and weather conditions, CAMELWAY thermoplastic paint lasts 3–5 years on highways and up to 7 years on low-traffic roads when properly applied.
3. Can the paint be used in humid or rainy environments?
Yes. Our formulations include anti-moisture agents and UV stabilizers, ensuring consistent adhesion and reflectivity in tropical and coastal climates like South Africa.
4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is 1 ton for regular formulations. For OEM/private label production, MOQ is 5 tons per color.
5. Do you provide application machines or full road marking solutions?
Yes, CAMELWAY supplies complete marking solutions — from thermoplastic paint and glass beads to applicator machines and preform markings.
