Parking Lot Striping and Traffic Marking - SealMaster

Selecting the Right Parking Lot Striping Paint

There are several types of traffic paints available for parking lot line striping including water-based acrylics, solvent based alkyd resin paints, solvent based chlorinated rubber and many more. By far the most common paint used for parking lot striping is water based acrylic.

Water-based acrylic line striping paints provide excellent durability, high brightness and visibility, and are environmentally friendly. For these reasons, water-based acrylics are the paint of choice for most parking lots as well as roads and highways. SealMaster offers a full line of premium quality traffic paints for parking lots, roads and highway applications.

• Waterborne formula paint (as opposed to solvent-based).
• Available in white, yellow, red, and blue.
• Can be applied to asphalt, concrete, brick-paved areas, and more.

For paint that dries quickly, looks great, and complies with state Department of Transportation (DOT) rules, try our line of DOT Specification Traffic Paint.

Transline’s DOT-regulation paint is ideal for striping crosswalks, parking lots, streets, warehouses, and more. You can rely on our paint for crisp, clear, and clean lines, even in areas with heavy foot and vehicular traffic. Traffic paint can also be mixed with glass beads to increase the visibility and reflectivity of your newly-applied markings. Our paint is suitable for both commercial and government property.

Average application rate for parking lot striping is 320 LF of 4″ line applied at 15 mils per gallon. 5 Gallon pails standard. 55 Gallon drums and truckload quantities available.

How to Use

At 77°F and 15 mils wet film thickness, DOT Specification paint will dry in approximately 8-10 minutes. For best results, allow paint to dry for a full two hours before exposing to traffic. Do not apply when the ambient temperature of the application site is below 50°F and/or the relative humidity exceeds 85%.

Prior to application, clear the area to be painted of dirt and debris using a standard leaf blower. Power washing or surface abrasion may be necessary if the pavement is stained with large amounts of engine oil or has already been coated with epoxy. Loose or peeling paint should also be removed prior to application of fresh markings.

Paint should be thoroughly stirred and mixed prior to usage. Always dispose of any excess paint and empty containers in a safe, environmentally-friendly manner.
