Double Bend Preformed Thermoplastic Road Marking

The ‘Double Bend’ preformed thermoplastic road marking is one of our many warning signs from our range of road markings. This marking is seen mostly on A and B roads where the route of the road is not immediately visible to road users. It Servers to warn drivers that the road ahead suddenly turns or has multiple changed to the direction.

This can be used in combination with the post mounted double bend ahead traffic sign to provide even more warning of the potential hazard ahead. Post mounted signs can be found in our signage section here.

Key Features:

Easy Application - No special knowledge, talent or years at art school required, just a clean surface and a gas burner. Just place the marking bead side up and apply heat till fully melted onto the surface.
Professional Appearance - These markings always look good due to their pre-cut design.
Fast To Install - Minimal surface preparation is required for these markings, with a worst-case scenario requiring an application of primer.
Non-Slip - No need to apply glass bead to these markings as it comes embedded in them.
Conforms - BSEN 1871

Choose From An Array of Sizes

When travelling towards a road marking at speed it needs to be intentionally distorted. This ensures that it can still be interpreted correctly by approaching motorists.

Choose from a range of standard sizes:

1200mm x 1200mm
2500mm x 1200mm
3030mm x 1200mm
4040mm x 1600mm
4300mm x 1500mm
5050mm x 2000mm
7070mm x 2000mm

Other sizes are available upon request but may carry a longer delivery time.

Application Of Our Thermoplastic Warning Symbols

Applying our preformed thermoplastic warning symbols is very easy. Firstly the area must be cleaned of all loose debris, oil, grease and salts. Once this is done you are ready to get going. If your road surface is old tarmac, concrete or block paving then you will need to use our fast-drying primer.

Once you have fully prepped the surface the roundel can be set out. Once you are happy with the marking positioning a heat gun can be used to melt the marking to the road surface. For additional traction glass bead can be sprinkled over the surface, this is fused into the marking with the further application of heat.

Thermoplastic On Block Paving

Thermoplastic on block paving is known to be more difficult to apply and has a substantially shorter lifetime than on bituminous surfaces, such as tarmac.

Block paving is not a solid structure. Most of the time, they are put down and sand is added into the grooves, so over time when moisture creeps in as well as moss, movement can be made within 2 blocks, making the material crack and fail.

FAQs

How to remove pre-existing road markings

Thermoplastic

Removing Thermoplastic can be done a few ways. With enough pressure a water blaster can be used, or a sandblaster. Other ways include using a lance. The Compressed air will burn off the material. Or depending on if you have the kit available, use a scabbler. It will act as a sort of Jackhammer and break apart the material away from the road surface. In situations where the material is heavily trafficked and worn down closer to the substrate, removal is not necessary, and fresh Thermoplastic can be applied over the top. If the material still has a lot of body or a good level of thickness to it, removal is to be carried out first.

MMA/EPOXY

Strong solvents may not be useful for larger quantities of MMA that may be required for Road Markings. Some sort of abrasion or grinding equipment would be required for a material as durable as MMA/epoxy. It will wear the material down to the underlying substrate, ready for re-applying fresh product.

How to identify pre-existing road markings

Thermoplastic road markings will be softer and can be chipped and carved away with force with a hand tool, such as a screwdriver or chisel. If you can remove a small amount, test with a small flame from a lighter and see if it melts/becomes fluid. If it does, this implies it is a thermoplastic marking.
MMA material is much tougher, and the curing process cannot be reversed. It will remain solid and should not be exposed to elevated temperatures as it gives off toxic odours when burning. Due to its higher durability, you should not be able to carve or pry it away using a hand tool.
Other markings, such as paints or coatings, are harder to identify, as they come in different forms, such as oil-based, water-based, and epoxy paints. In these situations, it is advised that disclosure be requested from the client. In any scenario of uncertainty, consult with the client and gain their insight regarding the pre-existing markings that are present.

Can you install these markings on block paving?

We cannot guarantee the results of laying thermoplastic markings on block paving. This is due to the moisture often present between each block and the movement the blocks experience in relation to each other as traffic passes over them.
