features patented quick-dry technology that facilitates the
Dry-through times in minutes

formulation of water-borne traffic paints with accelerated dry times
and performance properties that equal or exceed traditional solvent-

borne traffic paints. Extensive road marking tests and field trials
demonstrate that traffic paints formulated with FASTRACK Polymers

offer outstanding durability and toughness, excellent adhesion to
various road surfaces and rapid drying. These properties facilitate

Regular road striping is a top priority that keeps drivers safely on track across a rapidly expanding world. As more people travel on more roads,
there is growing interest in striping systems that produce a bright, reflective line while leaving a smaller environmental footprint. Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) is a tool that can help.
