What are thermoplastic pavement markings?
Short answer: Thermoplastic pavement markings are lines and symbols made from a material that is heated until molten and applied as a thick layer that bonds to the pavement. They usually last longer than paint under heavy traffic. A1 Paving, based in Polk City, Florida, applies thermoplastic and paint markings for properties in Orlando and Polk County.
