350 Transpo Industries has two new products: the T-28 colour-safe surface and T-78 polymer crack sealer. The T- 28 is an acrylic-based resin system used for pavement area markings and anti-skid surfacing. It is used for bicycle/pedestrian paths, bus stops/lanes and other specially designated areas. This product also improves skid-resistance and its colour warns users of hazardous turns and other high accident areas on asphalt and concrete roadways. The T-78 product is a low viscosity, methyl methacrylate resin system that is effective for sealing and filling cracks in concrete. It bonds well to the inner walls of cracks, restoring strength and preventing crack propagation. T-78 polymer crack sealer is capable of rapid cure in a wide range of temperatures.

The stripe consists of highly retro-reflective glass beads placed in a wide vertical stripe that results in year-round, all-weather, high driver visibility, says Castek, a division of Transpo Industries, also based in the US.
