Elite Striping, LLC offers the installation of Hot applied Thermoplastic Pavement Markings which are used to mark traffic lane lines, legends, arrows, words, symbols, and railroad legends for road guidance and boundaries on roads and parking lots. Thermoplastic Markings are thicker and more wear resistant than other types of Pavement Marking Paints.  Thermoplastic comes in Powder form to which it is then heated to 400 degrees liquefied and then applied to pavement surfaces. Thermoplastic also comes in granular extrude or preformed lines most commonly ranging from 4″ to 24″ in width, and shapes including arrows, legends, words, ADA Handicap Symbols, and other customizable symbols for roads, parking lots and or bike paths. The Preformed material is applied to paved surfaces and roadways then heated and melted until correctly bonded to the pavement surface. Glass beads are added to Thermoplastic Pavement Markings  to make the Thermoplastic reflective and increase the visibility of the markings at night. Thermoplastic Pavement Markings are often requested for use by state, municipalities, local departments of transportation, and contractors.
