Line Marking - Thermoplastic

Jointline is a leader in thermoplastic road line marking, providing expert application for highways, roads and commercial spaces across the UK. As a trusted partner for public bodies, local authorities, and commercial organisations, we deliver durable and highly reflective markings designed to enhance road safety and visibility.

Thermoplastic line marking involves heating a thermoplastic binder with colour pigments to create liquid markings, which can be applied in a range of widths and designs. Ballotini glass beads are integrated into the markings to improve retro-reflectivity, ensuring superior visibility at night. These thermoplastic road markings are available in various colours and offer high durability, making them the preferred choice for long-lasting road surface delineation.

Applications of Thermoplastic:

• Screed Application: Ideal for low-output projects, such as pedestrian crossings, arrows, and smaller lettering. This method involves applying the heated material manually, offering flexibility in confined spaces.
• Extrusion Application: This high-output method uses self-propelled machines to apply consistent, high-quality markings across large areas like motorways and traffic lanes. The extrusion process allows for a one-pass application, embedding glass beads for reflectivity.
• Raised Rib Line Marking: This specialised method creates textured, ribbed lines that provide haptic feedback and an auditory warning when driven over, making them ideal for hard shoulders and central reservations. These markings improve both sensory and safety performance on major roads.

Why Choose Thermoplastic Line Marking?

Thermoplastic markings are known for their superior durability and versatility. Suitable for major roadways, airport runways, and car parks, they provide lasting performance even in heavy traffic conditions. Their ability to withstand weathering and their low maintenance requirements make them the UK’s top choice for road safety solutions.

Jointline’s commitment to quality and precision ensures that all thermoplastic markings are applied to meet the highest safety standards, guaranteeing enhanced visibility, especially at night or in poor weather conditions.
