Kansai Plascon’s BTP brick and concrete paint product is available in different colours, and adheres to notoriously difficult substrates. It also outlasts competitor products by a significant margin, setting a new benchmark in the road-marking sector in particular.

This is according to a successful two-year performance study conducted on behalf of an established customer. PC & Industrial Technical Consultant Anita Bunn comments that such is Kansai Plascon’s confidence in the performance and quality of this product that “we were willing to undertake the study”.

She elaborates: “The client wanted a technical report to submit to their engineers to validate the performance of the product for their own use. The study would also assist in securing new business, while obtaining valuable performance results on this particular product in real-time practical conditions.”

Kansai Plascon’s BTP product is a solvent-based brick and concrete marking paint, designed specifically for cementitious and other surfaces such as kerb stones and interlocking bricks. “These are all surfaces notoriously difficult to paint with a coating that will last for longer than six months,” Bunn points out.

The performance review focused on a range of high-traffic sites. One such site was the entrance to the parking garage at N1 City. Here about 250 cars traverse old exposed aggregate paving daily. An undiluted single coat of BTP was applied on 19 February 2015. A subsequent inspection in September 2015 and again in September 2016 found the road markings to be virtually unaffected.

“The long-term performance study enabled us to determine how well this product performed under normal and abnormal traffic conditions,” Bunn explains. “This product outperformed even my expectations. We now have a thoroughly tried-and-tested alternative to traditional road-marking paint on difficult surfaces.”
