The trend to move away from “heavy metal” containing coatings presents increasing challenges for formulators of road marking paints.

Yellow road marking paints traditionally have been based on lead chromate pigments.The challenge facing today’s formulators is to develop “heavy metal free” yellow road marking paints, using an alternative pigment system, which meets both colour shade and technical performance requirements at an acceptable colouring cost.

Bright, opaque and clean colour shades can be formulated cost-effectively by combining Solaplex™ Pigments with a wide range of organic colourants.
