The Correlation of Spraying and Screeding Techniques in Road Safety
The art of bringing coating thickness into line with TS EN 1871 through correct machine calibration and screed equipment.
No matter how superior the material, if machine calibration is wrong, the life of the road marking is cut by 50%. Engineering means calculating the bar pressure of every single droplet leaving the machine's nozzle.
Precise Viscosity and Pressure Adjustment
Spraying techniques rest on completely different principles in cold-applied (Mono Series) and two-component (Dual Series) systems. In airless spraying systems, the atomisation quality of the paint directly determines the sharpness of the line and the uniformity of its thickness.
The Mathematical Advantage of Screed Heads
Why are thick-film (2 mm – 3 mm) screed applications preferred on motorways? Because according to tyre-wear calculations, every extra 1 mm of thickness adds 1.5 to 2 years to the service life of the paint. The blade openings of screed equipment must be calibrated at micron level.
A world-class coating is only possible through the synchronisation of a world-class machine and a skilled operator.
The parameters our applicator dealers must watch most closely: fixing pump pressure between 120 and 140 bar, and matching the machine's travel speed perfectly to the gun's flow rate. Otherwise, wavy and non-compliant lines result.
