Road Markings
Road marking materials are formulated to provide visible, durable markings that can be applied efficiently and withstand exposure to traffic and the environment. Lintech supplies binders, pigments, fillers, additives, and other specialty raw materials used in traffic paints, thermoplastic markings, reactive systems, and related pavement-marking technologies.
Why It Matters
Road markings must combine visibility with practical application and durability
Road and pavement markings are exposed to abrasion from traffic, changing temperatures, moisture, sunlight, and other environmental conditions. Their formulations must provide sufficient adhesion to the pavement while maintaining color, film integrity, and visibility throughout the intended service period.
Different marking technologies achieve these properties in different ways. Solvent-borne and waterborne traffic paints form films as they dry, thermoplastic systems are applied in a molten state and harden as they cool, and reactive systems develop their final properties through chemical curing. Across these technologies, formulation can influence application viscosity, drying or cure rate, film build, pigment dispersion, wear resistance, adhesion, and weathering performance.
Lintech supplies specialty raw materials used across these road-marking technologies, providing formulators and manufacturers with access to products from established suppliers for both new formulations and ongoing production.

Featured Technology
Sudarshan's Dalamar Yellow
Dalamar Yellow is a high-performance yellow pigment suited for road and safety marking applications where strong visibility, durability, and color retention are important. It can be used in applications such as lane markings, pedestrian crossings, and other traffic-control systems that require consistent yellow color under demanding environmental and service conditions.
As an alternative to traditional lead-containing pigment technologies, Dalamar Yellow can also help formulators address evolving performance, safety, and environmental requirements while maintaining the bright, durable color expected from modern traffic marking systems.
