WHY SILIKAL MMA ROAD MARKING SERVICES?
DURABILITY
Silikal MMA is known for its durability, providing road markings that really stand the test of time. These tough lines hold up against abrasions and harsh weather, staying clear and effective even in heavy traffic. This means safer roads for everyone and less hassle with frequent maintenance.
SKID RESISTANCE
MMA road markings offer excellent skid resistance, enhancing safety by preventing slips, especially in wet conditions. Their textured surface provides better traction and control, reducing the risk of accidents. MMA road markings gives safety and protection.
VISIBILITY
Visibility in road markings is essential for ensuring safety on the roads. Silikal MMA road markings, are designed to be bright and reflective, making them easily seen in various lighting conditions. This improved visibility helps drivers navigate more effectively, especially at night or in poor weather.
QUICK INSTALLATION
Silikal products cure fastly, which significantly speeds up the application process. This fast-setting feature allows contractors to complete road marking projects much more efficiently, reducing the time roads are closed or under construction.
COLOR STABILITY
Color stability in road markings is important for clear signage over time. High-quality MMA markings from Silikal resist fading from UV exposure and harsh weather, keeping colors vibrant and distinct. This enhances visibility for drivers, improves safety, and reduces the need for frequent maintenance, resulting in cost savings and better road conditions.
FLEXIBILITY
Silikal MMA road marking systems are highly versatile, adhering to various surfaces like asphalt and concrete, making them suitable for different surface conditions—from highways to parking lots. They perform well in diverse climates, including extreme heat, cold, and moisture, ensuring consistent safety and visibility.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Silikal MMA road markings possess very high resistance to chemicals, which makes them unaffected in environments exposed to harsh substances. They can withstand oils, fuels, solvents, and de-icing agents without deteriorating. Due to this it is beneficial for roadways, parking lots, and industrial areas prone to spills.
CUSTOMIZATION
Silikal MMA road markings can be customized with different colours, reflective elements can be added for night visibility, and skid-resistant finishes for safety. Custom symbols, logos, and signage can also be added. Thickness and texture of the markings can be adjusted to suit the surface and traffic conditions.
Our Road Marking Works
Why are Silikal MMA road marking services a better choice over water-based paints and thermoplastics?
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), thermoplastics, and water-based paints are commonly employed for road marking services. Among these options, MMA stands out for its superior durability. Additionally, its rapid curing time allows for quicker reopening of roads, making it a more efficient choice compared to both water-based paints and thermoplastic.
Water-based paints often need multiple coats to achieve the desired opacity and durability.
On the other hand, thermoplastics need to be heated to high temperatures before application, which requires specialized equipment and skilled labour. Unfortunately, errors in application and burns are common in thermoplastic because it is applied at high temperatures.
In contrast, MMA road markings last far longer compared to both water-based paints and thermoplastic. Moreover, they can be applied under various weather conditions and do not require substrate heating. These qualities of MMA make it an exceptionally versatile and reliable option for road marking applications.
MMA excels in harsh environmental conditions and can withstand rough usage, which translates to reduced maintenance costs and a more environmentally conscious choice for road marking projects.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are MMA cold plastic markings?
MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) cold plastic marking, sometimes called hard plastic road marking, makes long-lasting and obvious traffic signs and markings. In contrast to conventional thermoplastic markings, MMA cold plastic markings are applied at room temperature, making it a flexible option for diverse road marking projects.
The following are some crucial characteristics and advantages of MMA cold plastic marking:
As the name implies, MMA cold plastic markings can be applied without external heating apparatus. As a result, it can be used for a broader range of weather conditions and application energy use is decreased.MMA is highly durable.
Road markings made of MMA are incredibly long-lasting. They can tolerate large traffic volumes, severe weather, and UV exposure without fading or deteriorating.
Rapid Curing
Because MMA markings cure fast, there are fewer traffic delays. At the same time, they are being placed, and roads can reopen sooner once maintenance or new markings have been put down.
Visibility
Even in bad weather like rain and fog, MMA road markings are renowned for their exceptional visibility, which increases the safety of bicycles, pedestrians, and drivers on the road.
Skid Resistance
Our road markings can be tailored to offer high levels of skid resistance, lowering the likelihood of accidents caused by slick road conditions.
Longevity
MMA road markings last longer than typical paint or thermoplastic markings, which lowers the need for regular maintenance and re-marking.
Customization
MMA can be mixed easily with several additives to produce marks of varying colours, forms, and designs, enabling better organization of parking and traffic areas.
Low VOC Emissions
Because MMA road markings release few volatile organic compounds (VOCs), they are both environmentally friendly and comply with air quality standards.
Reflectivity
Many MMA road markings include reflective qualities that improve visibility and road safety at night.
Minimal Disruption
Due to the quick curing time of our road markings, they may be applied during off-peak traffic times, minimizing disruption to regular traffic flow.
Chemical Resistance
Because MMA markers are chemically inert, they are appropriate for roadways exposed to oil, fuel, and other potentially corrosive substances.
Customization
MMA can be easily mixed with various additives to create markings of different colours, shapes, and designs, allowing for better organization of traffic and parking areas.MMA cold plastic marking is frequently used to mark crosswalks, lane separators, stop lines, pedestrian crossings, and bike lanes. Many road authorities and contractors favour it because of its dependability, visibility, and simplicity of application.
Difference between MMA and thermoplastics.
MMA is a liquid monomer that polymerizes to create a solid substance. It is a particular variety of acrylic resin. On the other hand, thermoplastics are polymers that cannot significantly change when melted and remoulded.
Thermoplastics must be heated to a high temperature of 200 degrees Celsius before being applied, whereas heating is unnecessary for MMA.
Burns are frequently caused by this high temperature, which calls for competent labourers. Additionally, moist surfaces cannot be used to apply thermoplastics.
Before application, the surface should be dehydrated.
Typical applications for MMA in flooring systems include road line marking, the floors of commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, auto shops, and industrial settings, all of which require long-lasting, chemical-resistant materials with quick cure periods. Thermoplastics are used in various products, such as packaging, automobile parts, medical equipment, consumer items, and building materials.
The strong impact resistance, superior chemical resistance, and quick cure of MMA flooring are all advantages. Because it offers a flawless finish, it can be applied in thin layers. High strength-to-weight ratios, chemical resistance, and adaptability are all characteristics of thermoplastics. Processes, including injection moulding, extrusion, and thermoforming, can mould them into various shapes.
Because MMA road markings cure quickly, installation takes unique skills. It entails applying the liquid MMA to the substrate after mixing it with aggregates. Thermoplastics are often produced as sheets, pellets, or other shapes, and depending on the intended application, they are subsequently treated using various techniques.
MMA lasts longer than thermoplastics by 5 years. MMA road markings have a very long lifespan of up to 10 years.
