Product description
Black thermoplastic for road markings, RAL 9017, 20 kg
On high-traffic roads, markings have to last longer than a coat of paint. The ATA 4520 is a black 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.
Type II marking
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 (values measured on the white version).
Consumption
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.
Application
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.

- compliant with EN 1871, EN 13197 and EN 1436;

? Frequently asked questions
What is the ATA 4520 black thermoplastic used for?
On concrete or light-coloured asphalt, a white line is hard to see, especially in sunshine. A black border beside it increases the contrast; the ATA 4520 is used for such borders and for other markings that need black.
How is it applied?
It is melted and applied at 170-190 °C, by hand with screed tools or with an extrusion machine, in a typical 3 mm layer; do not heat it above 220 °C.
How long does the lane stay closed?
Not long: the material sets by cooling, not by a solvent evaporating, so the lane reopens once the marking has cooled; how long that takes depends on the road and air temperature.
How far does 20 kg go?
Consumption is 4 kg/m² at 2 mm and 6 kg/m² at 3 mm. A contrast border is narrow, so 20 kg goes a long way along a line.
Does the black marking need glass beads too?
Only if the marking also has to be retroreflective; the machine then also uses its glass bead gun, at about 400 g/m².
What does a type II marking mean?
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. The values are those measured on the white version.
