Ennis-Flint, a manufacturer and supplier of road marking materials, has added Thermaline and Thermaline XF to the EF Series Preformed Thermoplastic (PFT) product line.

EF Series is made for streets, reinstatement road markings, car parks, cycle-ways and airport landside areas as well as car parks, shopping centres, schools, business parks and more, especially at intersections with heavy traffic where durability and proven performance is essential.

Benefits of the PFT range include no minimum road or ambient temperature requirements so the pavement marking season can be extended. Product is pre-cut and ready to use out of the box where there is no major capital investment needed in application equipment. There is a clean edge appearance, for example, no ‘alligator’ cracking that can occur with hot-applied thermoplastic.

    Rising energy costs and increased awareness of safety and environmental issues have encouraged the development of Warm Mix Asphalts (WMA), which are typically produced at temperatures of between 130°C and 145°C, compared with around 175°C for traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). WMAs are regularly used in many European countries, as well as both North and South America. The three most common ways to lower the working temperature of asphalt are: a) foaming technologies; b) wax additives; and c) chemical (surfa

    Deck waterproofing remains critical to a bridge’s structural integrity for its design life, explains Cliff Weston, director of Stirling Lloyd To properly maintain deck waterproofing there must be a willingness to look at solutions based on whole-life costing rather than just short-term initial costs. There are lessons to be learned from examples of prematurely failed infrastructure due to a focus on initial short-term costs.
