Kansai Helios paints in water colour

Even though there are improvements of solvent-based paints, water-thinnable markings are increasingly the choice for future marking projects. Modern cold plastic systems have an exceptionally long lifetime and thus ensure permanent traffic guidance on roadways. They are solvent-free and eliminate the environmental impact of solvent emissions from acetone or toluene.

Kansai Helios’ cold plastic systems in combination with cold spray plastics enable a lifetime of up to 20 years. The original markings are refreshed every two to three years in order to constantly meet all traffic requirements.

Compared to traditional marking paints, 100% of the solvents can be saved. Even with very valuable resources such as titanium dioxide, the savings potential is around 30-50%. Compared to classic solvent-based marking systems, this fact alone means a significant improvement in the material balance in favor of cold plastics.

All this is accompanied by the reduction of CO2 emissions from the production of the markings as well as from the transport of raw materials or finished products. This makes it possible to offer a significant contribution to road safety while maximising protection of the environment.
