MMA Two-component traffic paint is a highly versatile, durable option for line striping high-traffic areas such as roadways, parking lots, crosswalks, bike paths and bus lanes. Two-component paint is formed by mixing a pigmented base resin with a polymer curing agent. When mixed and applied immediately, these two elements polymerize to form a strong, long-lasting compound.
Traffic markings—the yellow and white lines on roadways, parking lots, and other similar areas—are critical to keeping motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians safe. Today, these markings are typically made from paint, which, after undergoing numerous modernizations and improvements, offers high visibility and durability. Both of these qualities are essential to an effective roadway safety improvement material.
Traffic marking paint is available in many variations. Below, we provide an overview of waterborne traffic marking paint, including what it is and key considerations when using it.
At Aexcel, we manufacture traffic marking paint for use on roadways and in parking lots from Alaska to Florida and every area in-between. Our paint products are engineered for superior performance in demanding applications, ensuring the formation of visible and durable traffic markings. Our two traffic marking paint offerings are waterborne and solvent-based products. Both serve as effective roadway safety improvement materials when applied and dried properly. Below, we discuss some of the key surface and temperature considerations to keep in mind when using our solvent-based paints.
A Magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook Anchorage, Alaska on Friday November 30th. Thankfully, no lives were lost in the quake. Some roadways, however, did not survive the earthquake. Fortunately, a group of Anchorage's most trusted contractors, including road striping contractor and long-time Aexcel traffic paint customer Pacific Asphalt, had the road up and running again in just 72 hours! The crews moved over 15,000 yards of soil, repaved the road, and striped it with Aexcel LowVOK traffic paint. Aexcel is proud to partner with companies like Pacific Asphalt who step up when their communities are in need!

The American Coatings Association (ACA) has released a video, entitled "Coatings Protect, Preserve, Provide." The video highlights the value that coatings add to a vast array of man-made objects, and shows how coatings contribute to sustainability by protecting and preserving the useful life of the things to which they are applied. In addition to demonstrating the vital and intrinsically sustainable role coatings play, the video underscores just how pervasive coatings are in our society.
