Traffic Safety Marking Paints

SOMAY "Stripers Choice" Traffic Safety Marking Paints are used on surfaces of highways, bridges, tunnels, driveways, parking lots, garages, curbs, wheel bumpers (stops), airport runways, taxiways and loading ramps, on the floors of warehouses and manufacturing plants (to mark aisles), on the edges of loading docks and stairways (to mark edges), on playgrounds and tennis courts, etc.

SOMAY's regular Traffic Paint customers tell us SOMAY's Traffic Safety Marking Paints are far more economical than competitive brands. SOMAY's Traffic Safety Marking Paints are manufactured to the same high quality specifications as our architectural and industrial coatings. We do not use "seconds" or "off-color" raw materials. This means that our pigment colors are more stable and longer lasting, and will retain their bright colors with less fading, even in the hot, south Florida sunshine. Our first quality resins will retain their durability and not break down, even when subjected to the extreme south Florida sunshine and temperature.

Likewise our Quality Control Laboratory inspects each batch of paint to make sure that each batch meets the standards which have been set for the particular formula. This ensures a smooth, well-dispersed formulation, so that the traffic paint will flow smoothly through application equipment without clogging, resulting in less down time for equipment servicing. This assures far more consistency, allowing more hours of trouble free operation of traffic marking application equipment, resulting in much more productivity, i.e., more striping done in less time. In addition, a retain sample is kept from each batch of paint manufactured, so we will always be able to check on the quality in each can.

SOMAY Traffic Safety Marking Paints have a high concentration of volume Solids, which results in paint with greater coverage, greater hiding and greater durability.

SOMAY Traffic Safety Marking Paints are made to accept the incorporation of reflective beads.

SOMAY's "Stripers Choice" Traffic Safety Marking Paints have been proven, not only by laboratory tests, but also by stripers' experience, to be far superior in quality, consistency and reliability than other brands.

SOMAY is not a manufacturer of and does not stock thermoplastic road marking materials. However, we are able to obtain them for our customers if desired. Also, we can obtain information on road striping machines and reflective pavement markers, i.e. Cat's Eyes, in white, yellow and red, single or bidirectional, etc.
