Paints Used for Traffic Purposes
Traffic paints used to designate routes and ground signs consist of a thin layer of mixed materials. Also, polished beads are added to the surface of the paint to provide reflectivity at night.
The traffic color with its polished beads makes the routes and ground signs visible at night.
Using Traffic Paint in Parking Areas
You can make your parking lot look professional by using the right type of traffic paint. Using the right tools, including concrete stencils and line striping machines, will make your work look as professional and skilled as you want it to be. By using this paint, you can specify the stopping places in the parking lot.
Choosing a paint that is resistant to fading and is durable will make your parking area clearly marked and it will be easier for your customers to drive their cars. Glass beads are used to reflect light and are mixed with traffic paint to meet specific needs for further guidance of customers and other traffic.
One of the uses of traffic paints in parking lots is to indicate the parking place of cars and other traffic signs in the parking lot.
Surface Preparation for Traffic Paint
Before starting the work, it is necessary to prepare the surface you want to apply traffic paint to ensure a seamless and smooth continuity of the colors. (New concrete must be exposed to air for at least 30 days before painting.)
Repairing cracks on the surface
Crack repair is an essential step in surface preparation. For asphalt surfaces, cracks are cleaned from excess materials using a steel brush or crack cleaning machine.
Using traffic paint on surfaces with unrepaired cracks and gaps will diminish the professional appearance of your area. If not repaired, the cracks will deteriorate and the final result will not be of high quality.
After preparing the gaps, they are covered with liquid or hot gap filling material.
Cleaning the asphalt
At this stage, oil and grease stains should be removed. These stains destroy the asphalt surface and expose the parking lot surface to various elements.
Resurfacing for Traffic Paint
Resurfacing is a simple and quick step that extends the life of your parking lot. This step is considered the last step before using traffic paint lines.
Preparing for Traffic Paint Application
Using a stencil, the lines are marked manually with a roller. This process will take some time and its implementation is more difficult due to its details and subtleties.
