AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
MATESTAR supplies AASHTO M249-type thermoplastic road marking paint for projects requiring white and yellow reflective thermoplastic striping material in solid form. The material is heated to a molten state and applied to the road surface by mechanical road marking equipment, with glass beads applied on the surface to form reflective road markings.
Our thermoplastic road marking paint can be adjusted according to project specifications, including binder resin, titanium dioxide, premixed glass beads, softening point, drying time, flowability, color and application performance. TDS, SDS, COA, sample support and OEM 25kg bags are available for contractors, importers and road marking paint suppliers.

What Is AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint?
AASHTO M249 thermoplastic road marking paint refers to a solid-form white and yellow reflective thermoplastic striping material used for durable road surface markings. It is heated to a molten state and applied to the road surface by mechanical means, then cools to form an adherent reflective marking with the required color, thickness and width.
AASHTO M249-type thermoplastic paint is not a liquid road paint. It is a hot-applied road marking material made with pigments, fillers, binder resin and reflective glass beads. The material is designed for thermoplastic road marking, road line marking, lane lines, edge lines, center lines, arrows, symbols and other road markings where durability and nighttime visibility are required.
Key Features of AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
Solid-Form Thermoplastic Paint：
Supplied in powder or granular form and heated before application. It is not a liquid traffic paint.
White and Yellow Reflective Markings：
Designed for white and yellow road marking paint projects where reflective pavement markings are required.
Mechanical Application：
Applied in molten state by approved road marking equipment, such as screed, extrusion or spray systems, depending on project specification.
Glass Beads for Road Marking：
Surface-applied glass beads provide initial retroreflectivity, while premixed glass beads can support reflective performance as the marking wears.
Binder Resin System：
Binder resin holds pigments, fillers, aggregates and glass beads together and helps the marking bond to the road surface.
Project-Based Formula Adjustment：
Formula can be adjusted for softening point, drying time, flowability, titanium dioxide content, glass bead content and local climate conditions.
FAQ About AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
1. What is AASHTO M249 thermoplastic road marking paint?
AASHTO M249 thermoplastic road marking paint is a solid-form white and yellow reflective thermoplastic striping material. It is heated to a molten state and applied by mechanical road marking equipment to form durable reflective road markings.
2. Is AASHTO M249 thermoplastic paint a liquid road paint?
No. AASHTO M249-type thermoplastic paint is supplied in solid powder or granular form. It must be heated before application, unlike liquid cold road paint.
3. What is the glass bead content in AASHTO M249-type thermoplastic paint?
AASHTO M249 specifies 30%–40% glass beads in the material composition. Additional surface-applied glass beads can be used during application to improve initial retroreflectivity.
4. What is the difference between AASHTO M249 and AASHTO M247?
AASHTO M249 refers to the reflective thermoplastic striping material itself, while AASHTO M247 refers to glass beads for pavement markings. In a thermoplastic road marking system, M249 controls the marking material, and M247 relates to the road marking glass beads used for reflectivity.
Main Uses Of AASHTO M249 Thermoplastic Road Marking Paint
Highways & Expressways
Long-life center/edge lines, lane arrows, and rumble/profiled markings under heavy traffic. Typical film thickness 2.0–3.0 mm; drop-on glass beads 250–400 g/m² (RI ≥1.5), with high-brightness beads for elevated RL at night and in wet conditions.
Urban & Municipal Roads
Crosswalks, stop lines, turn arrows, bus/bike lanes, and symbols where rapid reopening is critical. Fast no-pick-up time (~2–4 min) minimizes congestion; use primer on concrete and consider anti-skid aggregates where higher BPN is required.
Airports & Ports (Roadways & Aprons where permitted)
High-visibility guidance on landside roads, aprons, and cargo areas exposed to UV, oils, fuel drips, salt spray, and intensive service traffic. Specify bead systems for sustained retroreflectivity and confirm local airfield/port specifications before use.
Parking Lots & School Zones
Stall lines, ADA/access markings, speed humps, zebra crossings, and directional symbols. Cost-effective thickness 1.5–2.0 mm with drop-on beads for nighttime visibility; primer recommended on concrete substrates.
