Recognizing the need for quality, durable products to maintain our roadways, our formulations have been specially crafted to contain properties that resist damage caused by heavy traffic, dirt and debris, weather conditions, and the environment. Engineered using the highest quality raw materials, our batch consistency is an integral part of our success, delivering smooth, clean lines with excellent color retention, coverage, and fade resistance. Our traffic marking paints provide exceptional adhesion to concrete and asphalt when line striping. This increases its ability to resist fading and deterioration, only amplified with excellent hiding and application properties.
