On high-traffic roads, markings have to last longer than a coat of paint. The ATA 4020 is a white hot-applied thermoplastic: it is applied molten, at 170-190 °C, in a typical 3 mm layer, several times thicker than acrylic paint, so it stands up to traffic for much longer.
It is certified as a type II flat marking: it stays visible at night not only when the road is dry, but also when it is wet or raining. Under EN 1436 it starts at retroreflectivity R5 dry, RW3 wet and RR1 in rain, daytime visibility Q5 and skid resistance S2; after 2 million wheel passes (class P6, EN 13197) it keeps R2, RW2, RR1, Q4 and S1.
6 kg/m² at the typical 3 mm thickness, so a 20 kg bag covers about 3.3 m²; at 2 mm, about 4 kg/m² (5 m² per bag). ATP AC90 glass beads are dropped on straight after, 400 g/m².
By hand with screed tools or with an extrusion machine, at 170-190 °C; do not heat it above 220 °C. The material comes as powder in a 20 kg bag that melts together with it.
On motorways, main roads and major city arteries, where markings have to last longer than a coat of paint. It is applied in a typical 3 mm layer, several times thicker than acrylic paint.
The material sets by cooling, not by a solvent evaporating, so the road can reopen shortly after application, once the marking has cooled; how long that takes depends on the road and air temperature.
At 2 mm thickness consumption is 4 kg/m², so about 5 m²; at 3 mm it is 6 kg/m², so about 3.3 m².
It is applied by hand with screed tools, or with an extrusion machine, molten at 170-190 °C; do not heat it above 220 °C. The glass beads are dropped on straight after.
Glass beads are applied straight after the thermoplastic, about 400 g/m².
That it stays visible at night not only on a dry road but also in wet or rainy weather: it starts at retroreflectivity R5 dry, RW3 wet and RR1 in rain (EN 1436), and after 2 million wheel passes it keeps R2, RW2 and RR1.
