Thermoplastic road marking paint production line
Road safety depends on durable, highly visible markings that withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather, and continuous UV exposure. Hot melt (thermoplastic) road marking paint has become the global standard for highways, urban roads, airports, and parking facilities due to its long service life, fast drying time, and excellent retro-reflectivity.
Zhengzhou Yishang Machinery introduces its Fully Automatic Hot Melt Road Marking Paint Manufacturing Equipment with HMI Touchscreen and Recipe Storage — a complete Fully Automatic Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint Production Line specifically engineered for producing premium white and yellow hot melt paint at industrial scale. This fully automated system integrates intelligent raw material handling, precision batching, high-speed heating mixing, cooling, crushing, sieving, automatic packaging, and dust collection into a seamless manufacturing solution.
With capacities ranging from 8 to 60 tons per hour, this Hot Melt Road Marking Paint Manufacturing Equipment enables manufacturers to produce consistent, high-quality paint that meets international standards including BS EN 1871, BS EN 1436, AASHTO M249, and ASTM D476. The HMI touchscreen and recipe storage system allow one-button operation and quick changeover between white and yellow formulations with only 2-4 operators per shift.

Hot melt road marking paint (also known as thermoplastic paint) is a 100% solids, solvent-free material that is applied in a molten state at 180-200°C and rapidly cools to form a durable, reflective, and skid-resistant marking.
Key characteristics:
Fast drying — traffic can resume within 3-15 minutes
Long service life — 2-3 years or more
High retro-reflectivity — enhanced night visibility with glass beads
Excellent skid resistance — improves driving safety
Environmentally friendly — no VOCs, 100% recyclable
Typical applications:
Highways and expressways
Urban roads and intersections
Airport runways and taxiways
Parking lots and warehouses
Crosswalks and school zones
