PREFORMED THERMOPLASTIC PAVEMENT MARKING CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A cold stick pavement marking construction is provided which includes a top flexible layer and a lower adhesive layer for adhering the pavement marking construction to a pavement surface. The top layer includes thermoplastic elastomer, resin, wax and filler. The wax and resin are preferably at least partially miscible with the thermoplastic elastomer in order to prevent phase separation of the top layer. Optionally, the top layer of the pavement marking construction includes retroreflective elements for improved visibility, and skid-resistant particles for improved traction for both vehicles and pedestrians. Other ingredients in the top layer include liquid rubber, plasticizer and antioxidant.
