Water-based paint is fine for a parking lot or a quiet side street. But when your stripes need to survive snowplows, semi-trucks, and endless traffic, you need something tougher.

White traffic marking paint is ubiquitous in urban, suburban, and rural areas and is critical to public safety and traffic management. Choosing paint that’s durable and fade-resistant is an investment in both safety and street maintenance, and that’s where AquaTough^™ excels.

About Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Paint

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) paint is a two-component liquid traffic paint. MMA is one part pigmented resin and one part catalyst. Mix ratios are somewhat flexible, depending on use and application equipment. MMA forms a strong bond to pavement surfaces for increased durability and longevity compared to standard traffic paint.

Soy-based traffic marking paint offers a greener, more sustainable alternative to traditional options. Aexcel Corporation offers a wide variety of quality traffic paint products, including our eco-friendly BioStripe^® soy-based traffic paint. This product offers numerous advantages that make it a better choice over conventional traffic paint for a range of applications.

Driveways are usually exposed to vehicle fluids, UV rays, rain, and snow. A good seal coating protects your home driveway from abrasion, weather, and chemical damage and improves its appearance. While contractors often use BioSealcoat^® asphalt sealers, here we will discuss an option best-suited for homeowners. This post will explain how to apply driveway sealer with a roller in four easy steps, as well as the best driveway sealer to use.

The Growing Street Art Trend

Street art or asphalt art is a growing trend in major cities worldwide that involves activating public spaces with inexpensive and effective art. Cities are integrating art through visual interventions on roadways, pedestrian spaces, and various types of vertical infrastructure.

When choosing traffic marking paint for roadways, parking lots, walkways, and more, it’s imperative for local and state agencies to select a paint that can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. The ideal option will offer long-term adhesion and visibility with low maintenance concerns to minimize traffic disruption and effectively maintain public safety.

Aerosol coatings are spray paints that users apply from pressurized cans. They are convenient and user-friendly because they are portable, have a long shelf life, and cover irregular or hard-to-reach surfaces. People use industrial spray coatings for various applications, such as protecting components against abrasion, corrosion, grease, and slipping.

Coal tar sealants and asphalt emulsions are thick, black protective substances for coating asphalt parking lots, playgrounds, and driveways. While they help seal and preserve such surfaces, they also contain various chemicals that, when released into the environment, may cause health and ecological issues. Fortunately, homeowners have BioSEALSAFE™ as a safer option to resurface driveways. Learn what makes BioSEALSAFE™ a superior alternative.

Our team recently attended the National Pavement Expo in Charlotte, NC. With this post, we share their insights on the show.

Maybe foremost, we were happy to attend a show and interact with customers again safely!

The team appreciated everyone who stopped by our booth; there were plenty of great questions.

Crew chiefs and municipalities cannot guide traffic on busy highways, intersections, and bike paths using traditional waterbased paint, which lacks the necessary durability. Due to the high cost of maintenance, state and local agencies have looked for other options. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and thermoplastics have both become popular for painting lines and markings on paved surfaces.

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. Mixing a pigmented base resin with a polymer curing agent forms two-component paint. When mixed and applied immediately, these two elements polymerize to form a strong, long-lasting compound.
