Coatings Innovation: New Environmental Road Markings Improve Safety
The road markings incorporate tiny glass beads that reflect the light from headlights in dark or wet conditions.
Road markings ensure traffic safety, but there are differences among them, both in terms of quality and eco-friendliness. Evonik Industries has conducted an independent lifecycle assessment (LCA) and found that DEGAROUTE-based road markings protect not only road users but also the climate.
The road markings shine like gems: tiny glass beads embedded in the road marking material reflect the light from headlights in dark or wet conditions. These glass beads make the markings visible at night or in fog and rain, thus increasing safety. Thanks to their structure, the lines and surfaces are extremely durable as well.
