Thermoplastic Line Marking Tape

Thermoplastic line marking tape lays crisp, permanent lines on tarmacadam without paint, stencils or drying time. Each 5m preformed roll melts under a gas torch and bonds into the surface as it cools. It comes in white or yellow and in 50mm or 100mm widths for road, car park and warehouse markings.

Application needs a gas bottle and a blow torch. Sweep the surface clean and dry, lay the roll in position then heat it evenly until it melts and bonds. Dry tarmacadam takes it with no preparation.

FAQ

What is thermoplastic line marking tape?

Thermoplastic line marking tape is a preformed strip of road marking material that melts and bonds to the surface when heated. Unlike paint, it fuses into the tarmacadam and hardens into a thick, durable line that lasts far longer under traffic.

How do you apply thermoplastic line marking tape?

You apply it with a gas or propane torch. Sweep the surface clean and dry, position the roll, then heat it evenly until it melts and bonds to the tarmacadam. No mixing and no machinery, which is why it suits contractors and site teams doing their own markings.

How long does thermoplastic line marking tape last?

Thermoplastic line marking tape lasts up to six times longer than road marking paint. It bonds into the surface rather than sitting on top, so it holds up to the traffic wear and weathering that fades paint and cuts how often lines need redoing.

Can it be applied to concrete?

Yes, thermoplastic line marking tape can be applied to concrete, but the surface needs a primer first to help it bond. Sound, dry tarmacadam needs no primer.

What widths and colours are available?

The tape comes in white and yellow, in 50mm and 100mm widths. The narrower width suits standard bay and lane lines, and the wider one suits more prominent markings and edge lines.
