China's road marking paint is rising in the reform and opening up

june 2, 2021

1 China's road marking paint is a new professional category of reform and opening up. Before the reform and opening up, there was no Expressway in China, and the number of civil vehicles in the country was 1.36 million, which was only 1/4 of the current total number of vehicles in Beijing. The density of vehicles driving on the road was not high. Traffic markings were set up on urban roads with mastic paint. The marking film was slow to dry, short service life, non reflective, and poor visibility. After the reform and opening up, with the great economic development, the increasingly busy transportation, the vigorous development of road construction, and the sharp increase in the demand for road marking paint, the road marking paint with special performance requirements has become a new professional category. Next, Ruima will teach you how to choose and buy suitable fixtures, and start to build a professional marking paint manufacturer

2. To develop the scientific research of road marking paint, we should first include the research and development of road marking paint in the national scientific and technological development plan, so that the road marking paint can be developed rapidly. During the period of the sixth five year plan of the state from 1981 to 1985, the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of communications and Shanghai Zhenhua paint factory undertook the national "sixth five year plan" scientific and technological research project "Research on highway reflective marking", successfully developed a solvent based road marking coating with vinyl synthetic resin, and tested the application of glass beads with particle size grading to the marking coating during the marking construction. When the car headlights shine on the marking at night, The glass beads can form a beam of reflected light, so that the driver can see the "reflective markings" in front of him. The subject won the third prize for scientific and technological achievements of the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of communications. During the period of the Seventh Five Year Plan of the state from 1986 to 1990, the hot melt reflective marking paint and solvent reflective marking paint in the national scientific and technological research project "Research on highway traffic safety facilities" were presided over by the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of communications, jointly with Sichuan Chemical Industry Research Institute and Chongqing Three Gorges paint factory, and won the third prize of the scientific and technological progress award of the Ministry of communications. In the tenth five year plan, the national scientific and technological research on the series standards of traffic engineering facilities in Western China included standards related to road marking paint and marking construction quality control, and won the second prize of science and technology of the China highway society. The research has accumulated rich experience in the development of road marking paint, in-depth research on the formula of marking paint, marking construction technology, construction machinery and other aspects, It also lays a good foundation for formulating relevant standards in the future

3. The rise of road marking paint plants with various systems and ownership. The production of road marking paint depends on the mechanism of comprehensive paint plants, which can no longer meet the rapid growth demand. Therefore, a number of professional road marking paint plants with various ownership and systems have been born in succession. In 1984, Northeastern University successfully researched hot-melt reflective road marking paint and supporting construction machinery. In 1987, Shenzhen Haihong Hempel paint Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Hong Kong Merchants International Co., Ltd. and Danish Hempel group, introduced hot-melt reflective marking paint. Its Yantai Branch and Kunshan branch were put into production in 1994 and 1996 respectively. In 1991, Singapore Yongjin group produced hot-melt reflective marking paint in joint-venture road marking paint plants in Baoding, Hebei, Yinchuan, Ningxia, Xinxiang, Henan and other places. By 1993, more than 30 road marking paint plants had been built nationwide to produce road marking paint. In 2000, Japan Astro Boy Group Co., Ltd. established a factory in Langfang, Hebei Province. By 2003, all provinces in the country had built road marking paint plants, with an annual output of more than 2000 tons, and more than 10000 tons (the amount of hot-melt reflective marking paint construction is about kg/m2). Judging from the ownership of road marking paint plants, there are both state-owned and private enterprises, as well as joint ventures and school run enterprises. Some highway management departments also run marking paint plants, which are produced and sold by themselves for the construction team of the third generation medical echo detection equipment line of natus. Enterprises of various ownership use their own marketing methods to sell marking paint, give full play to their respective advantages, expand the marking paint market, and meet the needs of the highway construction market

4, glass beads for reflective marking. In 1987, Beijing general glass factory and Porter company of the United States jointly established Beijing Porter glass products Co., Ltd., which first produced glass beads for reflective marking. In 1989, Hebei Dingzhou glass bead factory, which originally produced shot peened glass beads, successfully developed glass beads for reflective marking. This project passed the appraisal of Hebei Provincial Science and Technology Commission and was popularized and applied in 1990. Yongqing, Hebei, Daqing, Heilongjiang, Jiangyou, Sichuan and other regions with sufficient natural gas supply have also successively established factories to produce glass beads for reflective marking paint. So far, more than ten factories in the country have produced glass beads for reflective marking paint, meeting the growing demand for reflective marking in highway construction

5. Manufacturing marking construction machinery supporting various road marking paints. Based on the paint samples and marking machine prototypes from Japan and the United States, the hot-melt kettle and marking car for the construction of hot-melt marking paint were first developed in Shenyang, and then solvent based marking paint marking car and hot-melt marking paint marking car were also successively developed in Shanghai and other places. At present, there are more than a dozen professional manufacturers of road marking paint construction machinery, and some marking paint manufacturers also produce marking construction machinery at the same time. The quality of road traffic markings depends on "three parts of paint, seven parts of construction". High quality marking paint, equipped with high-performance construction machinery and perfect construction technology, can construct high-quality road traffic markings

6. Formulate national and industrial technical standards to ensure the quality of marking paint production and traffic marking construction. As a new marking paint specialty in China, the quality of self-developed products varies from country to country due to the introduction of technology. In order to ensure the quality of products, it is imperative to formulate unified national standards and industrial standards. In 1989, the traffic administration bureau of the Ministry of public security formulated the standards Ga "road marking paint (normal temperature type) and GA" road marking paint (hot melt type) "of the Ministry of public security, and then merged and revised them into the public safety industry standard ga/t" road marking paint "in 2001. In 1995, the Ministry of transport formulated the traffic industry standard jt/t" paint for road marking ", which was revised in 2004, and some coatings can be used for rotating bearing cage The test methods and technical requirements of gauge baffle, gauge block, insulating gasket, pipe sleeve and other parts are added, and the technical requirements and test methods of two-component, water-based marking paint are added; In 1996, the national standard gb/t "quality requirements and testing methods for road traffic markings" was formulated, and the types of markings were added in the revised version in 2009; The national standard GB "road traffic signs and markings" formulated in 1999 provides a basis for the design and construction of road traffic markings, and a revised version was issued in 2009: jt/t "glass beads for pavement markings" formulated in 2001, which was revised and upgraded to the national standard gb/t "glass beads for pavement markings" in 2009. In 2008, the transportation industry standard jt/t "pavement anti slip coating" was formulated. The standards formulated above have been gradually developed and revised from referring to foreign standards to industry standards and national standards that are compatible with national conditions, ensuring the quality of marking paint and marking construction

7. Testing institutions at all levels guarantee the quality of traffic safety facilities. 1) the traffic engineering supervision and testing center of the Ministry of transport is the first product testing and engineering supervision and testing institution of traffic safety facilities approved by the Ministry of transport in 1990. In 1996, it passed the metrological certification of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China. Since then, there has been a professional testing organization for road marking paint and road marking engineering construction. In 2006, with the approval of the General Administration of quality and technical supervision and quarantine and the national certification and accreditation supervision commission, the center was upgraded to establish the National Center for quality supervision and inspection of traffic safety facilities. 2) Zhongzi highway maintenance and testing technology center was established in 1992 as a supervision, consulting and testing organization of the transportation system. Its business scope covers the quality testing of subgrade, pavement, traffic safety facilities, bridges and tunnels of highways; 3) The traffic safety product supervision and testing center of the Ministry of public security was approved by the Ministry of public security to establish the traffic safety product supervision and testing center of the Ministry of public security in Wuxi relying on the Traffic Management Science Research Institute of the Ministry of public security in 1993. In 2007, it was authorized by the State Administration of quality supervision and certification as the national road safety product quality supervision and testing center. 4) In 2008, the Ministry of transport approved the establishment of the traffic engineering testing center of the Academy of Sciences of the Ministry of transport. In addition to the above professional testing institutions, the quality inspection departments of the transportation departments of all provinces and autonomous regions across the country have successively added traffic engineering testing projects to provide nearby convenient services for traffic engineering products (including road marking paint) and traffic engineering (including road traffic marking Engineering) in the province, and escort high-quality projects

8. A large number of new roads provide a broad market for road marking paint. "If you want to be rich, build roads first" is one of the loudest slogans during the reform and opening up period, and a climax of road construction has sprung up all over the country. In 1988, China's first 20.5-kilometer Shanghai Jiading Expressway (Qilianshan road in Shanghai urban area to the South Gate of Jiading) was opened to traffic, realizing the breakthrough of "zero" expressway. After 40 years of reform and opening up, the total mileage of highways in China has grown from 890000 to 4.7 million kilometers, and highways have grown from 0 to 136000 kilometers. As early as 2012, China's highway mileage reached 96000 kilometers, surpassing 92000 kilometers in the United States, ranking first in the world. The "five vertical and seven horizontal" national highway trunk line with a total mileage of 35000 kilometers, after 15 years of efforts, was completed in 2007, forming the prototype of the national highway. It forms a highway infrastructure network together with other national highways, provincial roads and county roads, providing a solid foundation and guarantee for national economic and social development, and also providing a broad market for road marking paint. In addition, road construction projects in countries along the "the Belt and Road" drive road marking coatings and construction machinery abroad, such as Cambodia in Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. The marking works of some foreign aid road and bridge construction projects were also completed by the construction team sent by China with Chinese paint. With the further deepening of the reform and opening-up policy, the foreign market of road marking paint will get more expansion

9. Hot melt reflective marking paint plays a leading role. Hot melt reflective marking paint is a solid powder paint mixed with C5 petroleum resin or modified rosin resin as film-forming material, pigments, fillers, additives and glass beads. The mixed glass beads are No.2 glass beads specified in gb/t24722-2009 glass beads for pavement markings, and its technical requirements are that the rounding rate is not less than 80%, and the particle size is s（ μ m) Size grading: 0% for glass beads with s> 600, 50% - 90% for 300 s ≤ 600, 5% - 50% for 150 s ≤ 300, and% for s ≤ 150. During marking construction, it is necessary to heat the hot-melt kettle mixed paint to 180 ℃ -220 ℃ in a liquid flowing state, scrape or spray it on the road surface with a marking machine, and at the same time spread No. 1 glass beads of the above technical standards to the marking coating. When the car headlights shine on the markings at night, the glass beads on the coating reflect a beam of light, so that the driver can see the markings in front and follow the path. The retroreflective brightness coefficient of the newly drawn white reflective marking is not less than 150mcd · m-2 lx-1. After the marking coating is gradually worn, the large and small graded glass beads embedded in the coating will expose the reflecting surface one by one, and continue to maintain the reflective effect of the marking= Span= hot melt reflective marking paint is widely used in roads and highways at all levels, and is the protagonist of the current road marking paint market
