Thermoplastic Line Marking Darwin
We've applied thermoplastic marking across Darwin and the NT since 2009. From busy CBD intersections to shopping centre carparks, council roads to industrial facilities. When standard paint won't survive Darwin's extreme conditions, thermoplastic delivers years of high-visibility marking.

Why Darwin's Busiest Areas Need Marking That Survives Tropical Extremes?
A shopping centre in Casuarina called us about their carpark entry lanes. They'd been repainting the entry arrows and stop lines every three months. The combination of heavy traffic, intense UV, and wet season conditions destroyed standard paint rapidly. The ongoing costs were frustrating and the faded marking looked unprofessional. We applied thermoplastic marking at the high-wear locations. Entry and exit lanes, stop lines, directional arrows, and pedestrian crossings. Two years later, the marking still looks fresh despite Darwin's extreme conditions. We made a temperature error on a Darwin CBD job in 2016. We applied thermoplastic during the middle of a hot day when the asphalt was above 60°C. The material became too fluid and spread beyond intended lines. We reapplied in cooler early morning conditions at our cost, around $3,100.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thermoplastic is better for any high-traffic or exposed Darwin location where standard paint won't last. The extra cost is offset by dramatically longer life.
Tropical-formulated thermoplastic typically lasts 2-4 years in Darwin, compared to 3-6 months for standard paint on exposed surfaces.
Early morning during dry season is ideal. We avoid the hottest part of the day and wet season where possible.
Yes, glass beads embedded in thermoplastic provide retroreflectivity, reflecting headlights back to drivers.
White and yellow are standard for road marking. Other colours including blue, green, and red are available for special applications.
Yes, we can grind or water-blast existing thermoplastic before applying new marking.
