SWARCO AMERICA TESTS NEW PRODUCTS ON NATIONAL TEST PRODUCT EVALUATION PROGRAM WITH AASHTO

Swarco Industries and Colorado Paint Company (subsidiaries of Swarco America) recently participated in AASHTO’s National Pavement Marking Evaluation Program in Pennsylvania. Swarco is testing a series of new products for the purpose of gaining additional state approvals and introducing new product systems to State Departments of Transportation.

Plural Components: Colorado Paint Company installed their new Swarcoplast Series MMA Cold Plastic Structured Wet Night Formulas, designed to provide exceptional durability and wet night visibility, Swarcoplast is ideal for concrete and asphalt application where durability and visibility is needed most.

Also applied was the new MUFA 10 plural component modified polyacrylic system that provides rapid set times below 5 minutes and exceptional bead adhesion. Applied with traditional epoxy 2:1 mix equipment, this product provides good durability on concrete and asphalt roadways. Using Swarco’s Type I Beads and Megalux, excellent dry reflectivity levels and enhanced wet night visibility is achieved.

Preform Thermoplastic: Swarco Industries installed their new line of torch applied preform thermoplastic. The 90 mil and 125 mil thick materials will provide customers the durability of traditional thermoplastic materials with an easy to install torch application while the custom factory applied glass bead system is designed for consistent and exceptional reflectivity right out of the box. No additional drop-on beads are required in the field.

High Build Paint: Using the latest resin technology from Dow, Colorado Paint installed their high build paint systems with Swarco enhanced blended bead systems. The combined system is designed to provide improved durability and enhanced reflectivity over traditional high build paint and glass bead systems.
