Thermoplastic Striping Contractors
Use this page to find striping contractors who apply thermoplastic markings. The material is heated and applied molten, then bonds to the pavement as it cools, producing a thicker and far longer-lasting marking than traffic paint. Glass beads are usually embedded for retroreflectivity.
Thermoplastic requires dedicated heating and application equipment, so it is a subset of striping contractors rather than something every striping crew offers. It suits high-traffic entrances, drive aisles, crosswalks, and any marking that paint wears off faster than the budget cycle allows.

Thermoplastic Striping FAQs
Is thermoplastic worth the extra cost over paint?
It depends on traffic and how often you want to restripe. Thermoplastic costs more per foot but lasts substantially longer, so on entrances, drive aisles, and crosswalks it often costs less over a maintenance cycle. For low-traffic stalls at the back of a lot, paint is usually the better value.
Can thermoplastic go on new asphalt or fresh sealcoat?
Not immediately. New asphalt and fresh sealcoat need to cure before markings are applied, and the required wait depends on the material and the weather. A contractor who is willing to apply markings the same day is worth questioning.
How do I know a striping contractor actually applies thermoplastic themselves?
Ask directly whether the equipment is theirs and who will be on site. Thermoplastic needs dedicated heating and application equipment, so it is a capability a contractor either has or subcontracts, and the answer is easy to give if the equipment exists.
