- Traffic paints formulated with FASTRACK™ Binders are time-tested and field-proven to offer exceptional performance in
adverse conditions. - Dow has developed new DURATRACK™ two-component (2K) technology for broad area markings, including green bike lanes.
COLLEGEVILLE, PA. – February 4, 2021 – Dow (NYSE:DOW) announces its newly developed DURATRACK™ 2K Technology for broad area markings, including green bike lanes. Dow’s green bike lane coatings offer the handling and spray ability of a waterborne system, with the performance and durability of a 2K system. This innovation yields pleasing results such as superior adhesion, skid-resistance, UV durability and quick drying time, while enhancing workzone safety through a speedy and efficient installation process. Dow is partnering with local and city road officials to install real-world trials to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to deliver cost-savings and enhance safety for cyclists and drivers alike.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the need for more cities to provide safe multi-modal transportation solutions,” said Dr. Joy Gallagher, global segment leader for Road Markings at Dow. “Bike lanes give citizens an efficient alternative to getting around while also promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.”
Learn more about Dow’s green bike lane technology, safety, and cost efficiency during ATSSA’s Annual Convention & Traffic Expo on Thursday, February 11 at 1 p.m. EST. The session will be hosted by Dr. Eric Greyson, development leader for Dow Industrial and Functional Coatings, who will be joined by Cindy McCormick, deputy director of Public Right of Way for the City of Lancaster, PA and Douglas Dolinar, president of Guidemark, Inc. Interested participants are invited to register online.
Dow’s flagship road marking resins, FASTRACK™ 2706 Emulsion and FASTRACK™ 3427 Emulsion, have been helping customers formulate reflective pavement markings that meet performance and sustainability requirements for decades. Dow’s commitment to sustainable innovation has led to the development of:
FASTRACK™ 5408A Emulsion, the next generation all-acrylic binder for waterborne pavement markings, offering improved durability for year-round visibility, and extended seasonal application without compromising dry time versus existing waterborne technologies.
FASTRACK™ HD-21A Emulsion, Dow’s high-build solution, offering excellent durability and longer service life, meets the Federal TTP-1952 Type III specification. Given the critical role of the polymer in paint performance, it is important for DOTs to be confident in the quality of the materials used in the paints applied to their roadways.
Dow has remained committed for over 25 years to pushing boundaries in road marking technology while continuing to provide a durable acrylic backbone and a patented quick-dry chemistry that delivers exceptional performance— no matter the conditions. Dow offers a proven track record of reliable supply and breakthrough technology that continues to benefit the entire value chain.
