Thermoplastic Line Marking
Thermoplastic markings last up to 10 years — significantly longer than road-grade paint. Ideal for high-traffic roads, car parks, and playgrounds.
Why Choose Thermoplastic for Your Line Marking?
Thermoplastic is the premium choice for road and car park markings in the UK. Applied as a hot-melt material, it bonds directly to the road surface and cures within minutes, creating a marking that is significantly more durable than conventional road-grade paint.
Markex applies thermoplastic markings for roads, car parks, playgrounds, sports courts, and industrial floors across the UK. Our operatives are trained in the correct application temperatures and techniques to ensure a consistent, long-lasting finish.
Thermoplastic markings comply with TSRGD 2016 for road applications and are available in a full range of colours for playground and sports court use. They are slip-resistant, weather-resistant, and retain their colour for years.

Priming
A bonding primer is applied to ensure maximum adhesion of the thermoplastic material.

Thermoplastic is heated to the correct temperature and applied by machine or hand screed to the required thickness.
Curing & Handover
The material cures within minutes. We inspect the finished markings and provide compliance documentation.
