Road Marking System
Defined Agglomerate Markings/Multi-Dot Line

A maker of road marking systems develops an application technique suitable for defined agglomerate markings due to its retroreflection visibility in wet conditions. The main types being used are stochastic agglomerate patterns made from two-component cold plastic or special thermoplastic material that are applied with spiked rollers. Accurately defined distances between the individual marking dots enable water to drain easier. Hofmann GmbH;+49 4101 3027-0; www.hofmannmarking.de
