Eli-Chem, the people behind the popular artists resins have had interest from Highway and Road-marking companies to add their Eli-Glow Photo-luminescent pigments into road-marking materials (thermoplastic paint) to see how they are absorbed and processed with their pigments. The endgame is to install glow-in-the-dark lines on roads, highways and cycle-paths as a safety and energy-saving feature.
Initial experiments were very encouraging. Next stop is a live test on an actual stretch of public road...watch this space, get ready to drive on it and turn your lights off!
Road paint material is a thermoplastic paint that is melted down from a powder to a liquid at 180-200 Deg.C
