Preformed and hot-applied thermoplastic

We have an extensive range of hot-applied thermoplastic products made of 100% solid, environmentally safe and user-friendly compound containing pigments, glass beads, binder, and filler that becomes liquid when heated. Ennis Flint supplies a variety of different options engineered to meet any specification required. Products in our range of thermoplastic materials include Crystalex™, Guidemaster™, Vibraline™, and Lifeline™.

In addition to a wide range of hot-applied thermoplastic, Ennis Flint has recently added two new preformed thermoplastic markings to provide a wider range of options for government and contractor requirements. Thermaline™ and Thermaline™ XF preformed thermoplastic road marking are designed for optimum audibility, sensory awareness, luminance, retro-reflectivity, skid resistance, wet-night visibility, durability and delineation.

Traffic paint and plastic road markings (MMA)

Ennis Flint has a complete range of water-based and solvent paint along with cold plastic (MMA) road markings that have been manufactured in accordance with BSEN 1871 and BSEN1436 standards.

Both our paints and cold plastic materials are extremely hard wearing and durable, and can be applied on a variety of surfaces and temperature conditions. Our water-based paint products, such as EF Series and Extended Season, are easy to apply and dry to a no-track condition in two to ten minutes, minimising extensive road closure time and making it easy to complete project deadlines. Cataphos and Chlorinated Rubber, our solvent-based formulas, are suitable for bituminous and concrete substrate application, and can be heated and sprayed with airless or conventional spray equipment. Our MMA cold plastic is available in a full range of colours, including white, yellow, and red.

Road studs

Stimsonite® road studs were the first of their kind more than 40 years ago and have led the industry in product innovation, quality, value and service ever since. They have been proven to improve delineation and increase preview time, especially under wet conditions.

Snow-plowable road studs

Stimsonite snow-plowable road studs were pioneered more than 30 years ago, bringing a critical safety system to highway networks subject to heavy snowfall. Combined with the Ennis Flint range of markers, they provide a cost-effective, safe delineation to drivers in adverse weather conditions. They are manufactured to deliver reliable adhesion, durability, and retro-reflectivity throughout the product lifecycle.

Traffic safety systems for wet / night-time conditions

Weather is unpredictable, and remaining safe is critical. Ennis Flint has created several products that are essential for unpredictable climates and night-time driving. Rainline™ provides a unique pattern of inverted thermoplastic profiles to reduce the build of rain on the surface of the road or adjacent to it. This maximises wet night visibility and sustains it throughout weather shifts.

The Click-Stud also provides visibility in wet and night-time conditions, but can further be applied and replaced with ease. The road stud is embedded into the road with a high-performance 980 reflector unit that can be ‘clicked’ in-and-out of place at time of removal to be replaced. It is a durable, long-lasting reflector housing that minimises cost without minimising safety.

Anti-skid road surfaces

Ennis Flint’s leading, innovative anti-skid Textureflex, Tyregrip™ and Zebraflex products consist of either hot thermoplastic or cold epoxy resin with a high friction aggregate. They are offered in a range of colours. The surfaces reduce braking distance, and can be used for effective highway-demarcation and accident-reduction applications.

Coloured and decorative surfacing for roads

Our Imprint® durable synthetic surfacing material provides a viable, cost-effective alternative to block paving. Our Stonegrip coloured and decorative surfacing for roads incorporates surface-bound decorative aggregate suitable for highway and non-highway enhancement applications.

Bridge joints, sealants and crack repair systems

A proven combination of elastomer-modified binders and selected aggregates, backed by more than 20 years of experience, provides a unique range of asphaltic bridge expansion joints and bituminous crack repair materials.

Our joint sealants meet the requirements of EN 14188-1: 2004: Sealant Class Type N2. Products include Thormajoint™, Fibrescreed and Multiseal 40.

Cycle and bus lanes

Ennis Flint also incorporates specific markings for cycle and bus lanes further rounding out the comprehensive product portfolio. Our BusTrack and CycleTrack™ thermoplastic road surface treatments are ideal for making a clear delineating for cycle and bus lanes. They are available in a wide range of colours to meet specific project requirements.
