Preformed Thermoplastic Anti Skid Sheet - 1000x600mm

Anti-skid thermoplastic panels can be used to create a hard wearing high friction surface which improve safety in areas such as footbridges, landing areas, traffic calming areas and hazardous areas. They can also be used following utility works or resurfacing. These panels are a cost effective, and easy to install.

They are made from a compound of metal free pigments, aggregates, fillers, high quality synthetic resins and performance polymers topped with anti skid glass beading. All of this creates a cost effective, anti-slip floor sheet with a skid resistance value of 65+ (subject to not overheating the material during installation).

These thermoplastic sheets are 1000mm x 600mm and 3mm thick. Provided in single coloured packs of 5, one pack of thermoplastic sheeting will provide 3 square meters of coverage. These sheets can be cut to size allowing for maximum flexibility when applying in unusually shaped areas. Applied like any other thermoplastic material these sheets require no specialist equipment to be applied to the surface and can be trafficked after approximately 5-10 minutes after initially applied.

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.
