AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint is a hot-applied road marking material that meets the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) M249 standard. It is widely used in the United States and international projects that follow American traffic safety standards.
- Scope: Hot-applied thermoplastic materials with glass beads
- Performance: Retroreflectivity, skid resistance, color stability
- Durability: Designed for highways, airports, and urban road networks
Our paint is engineered for high retroreflectivity, superior durability, and skid resistance. When applied with reflective glass beads, it ensures excellent nighttime visibility and long service life, even under heavy traffic conditions. It is suitable for both temperate and hot climates, making it ideal for South Africa and other regions with strong UV exposure and heavy rainfall.
Case Example
In Durban, a port access road painted with conventional cold-applied paint showed fading and wear within 9 months. After switching to AASHTO M249 thermoplastic road marking paint provided by CAMELWAY, the markings remained bright and skid-resistant for over 3 years, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime for freight transport.
Applications
- Highways and interstate roads
- City streets and intersections
- Pedestrian crossings (zebra lines)
- Parking lots and shopping centers
- Airports, seaports, and logistics hubs
