NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The benefits of Ingevity’s WestRez® tall oil rosin resin for road
markings are highlighted in a recently released video
about Stripe-a-Zone, a Grand Prairie, Texas-based pavement marking
company that uses WestRez in its thermoplastic marking material
formulation. WestRez helps the marking better retain retro-reflectivity
in low light and after exposure to everyday wear and tear and harsh
weather conditions, which is important for driver visibility and overall
safety.
The video features representatives from Stripe-a-Zone and Ingevity, and
demonstrates the value of WestRez in formulating superior lane striping
material because of its ability to adhere the glass beads in the
striping paint to the roadway, which increases retro-reflectivity.
“The thermoplastic road markings we install adhere to the road better
and hold their shape longer than other marking products,” said David
Sergeant, executive vice president of Stripe-a-Zone. “This allows the
line to provide better retro-reflectivity for drivers and to alert
drivers with an audible rumble effect if they drift over the edge lines.
We take pride in marking roads to maintain driver safety.”
The video of WestRez’s value in road striping can be viewed here.
