DESIGNING SAFE TRAFFIC AND SAVING RESOURCES

Global megatrends such as sustainability and environmental protection have been playing a crucial role in the road marking sector for some time now. Reducing emissions from increasing traffic volumes is a major concern across the world and is a driving factor for innovation in road construction. With DEGAROUTE® proTerra, Röhm is now offering a binder for road markings that contains at least 30 percent recycled methyl methacrylate (RMMA) providing a significantly
improved CO2 footprint.

DEGAROUTE® based road markings are solvent-free, reactive systems. They produce almost no volatile organic compounds (VOC) and do not require external heat input during application. With DEGAROUTE® proTerra, Röhm has developed a product for cold plastic characterized by excellent visibility and durability while at the same time offering a resource-saving alternative to conventional binders for road markings.

Laboratory and application tests show that the quality and performance of this innovation is comparable to already established products. The advantages of methacrylate-based road markings remain unchanged: DEGAROUTE® proTerra combines durability, excellent visual and acoustic properties and fast processing with short curing times while saving resources.
