Marking / Paint

Marking Paints for Roads, Car Parks and Factory Floors

Marking paints permanently define lanes, parking bays, pedestrian crossings, arrows and lettering on asphalt and concrete, as well as walkways and work zones in factories and warehouses. This category brings together the paints and supporting materials needed for car park, road, industrial floor and sports field marking. Products include the Signatekma Hydral and Grassline ranges and mostly come in 25 kg containers and packs of 2, 5 and 10.

Product Groups

• Cold road marking paint (25 kg): single-component MMA solvent-based and water-based (Hydral) paints for asphalt lanes, parking lines and pedestrian crossings, in several colours.
• Kerb, column and wall paint (25 kg): for painting and numbering kerbs, underground car park columns and walls.
• Acrylic floor paint and safety line paint (5 and 20 kg): for walkways and safety lines on indoor concrete floors in factories and warehouses, in several colours.
• Turf line marking paint (3 and 10 kg): water-based Grassline paint in white and green for artificial and natural grass pitches and golf courses.
• Glass beads (25 kg): silicone-coated beads dropped onto wet paint to reflect headlight beams back to the driver and improve night visibility.
• Cold asphalt (30 kg): ready-to-use patching material for potholes and damaged asphalt.

Choosing Paint by Application

Open car parks and roads use cold road marking paint with glass beads for night visibility. In underground car parks, kerb and column paint improves wayfinding and makes obstacles easier to see. Inside factories and warehouses, acrylic safety line paint separates forklift and pedestrian routes. On natural grass, use water-based turf paint that does not dry out the grass. Two-component and thermoplastic road paints also exist; the road paints in this category are single-component cold paints applied without a hardener.

Application Advice

• Make sure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free and grease-free, and remove old flaking paint.
• Apply in dry, calm weather; paint does not bond well to damp surfaces.
• Do not apply MMA paint over old alkyd-based paint; test a small area first.
• Drop glass beads while the paint is still wet so they embed and hold.
• Clean the line marking machine and tools with a suitable thinner after use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which paint should I use for car park lines? Use cold road marking paint on asphalt and concrete in open car parks, and kerb and column paint for columns and kerbs in underground car parks.

Do I need glass beads? For road and car park lines that must be seen in headlights at night, glass beads greatly improve retroreflectivity. Indoor factory lines usually do not need them.

What paint suits a factory floor? Acrylic floor paint and safety line paint are used for walkways and safety lines on indoor concrete floors.
