How to choose the line marker that meets the needs of professionals?
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LINE MARKER FOR YOUR ACTIVITY : THE KEY TO QUALITY FLOOR MARKING
Floor marking is a critical task in many industries. Ensuring clear, durable, and effective markings in warehouses, parking lots, sports fields (both indoor and outdoor), or industrial areas can be challenging. Choosing the right line marker and application device is essential to achieving quality results. That's why Technima presents the key factors to consider when selecting a line marker and introduces the SOPPEC LINE range, offering a variety of marking and signage products tailored to every need.
1. SELECTING THE RIGHT COLOR FOR YOUR FLOOR MARKING
Choosing the right color for line marking is crucial. Color significantly impacts the visibility and clarity of markings. Different applications have specific color codes : parking lots typically require white or yellow lines to define spaces, while indoor sports fields might need more vibrant colors like blue or red. the SOPPEC LINE range offers a wide selection of colors, each optimized for maximum visibility in various environments.
2. THE IMPORTANCE OF A LINE MARKER RESISTANCE
Mechanical resistance
Floor marking face multiple challenges, from vehicule traffic to pedestrian footfall. To ensure long-lasting lines, it's essential to choose a paint with abrasion resistance and adhesion on difficult substrates to maintain mechanical resistance.
Wear resistance
The paint must withstand the abrasion caused by repeated friction. Thermoplastic acrylic resins create a flexible, durable protective layer that resists these forces without flaking with fast drying for quick return to service of marked areas.
Anti-soiling in industrial environments
In industrial areas, markings are often exposed to dirt. Paints with anti-soiling compounds reduce the buildup of dust and grease, maintaining clear lines over time.
Chemical resistance
Floor markings can come into contact with corrosive substance like oils or solvents. Chemically resistant paints retain their integrity and color, even when exposed to these elements.
3. CHOOSING A DURABLE AND WEATHER-RESISTANT LINE MARKER
For outdoor floor marking, it's crucial to select a line marker that can withstand harsh weather conditions. TRACING 500ml, are designed to resist water, wind, cold, and UV rays. TRACING Pro provide excellent adhesion on low-traffic surfaces like logistics warehouses, sports complexes, and parking lots.
4. LINE MARKING ON GRASS AND UNEVEN SURFACES
Marking grass surfaces, such as sports fields or green spaces, requires specialized solutions that :
A paint must be very flexible to not crack when grass twists and turns, while being formulated so as not to be harmful in order not to burn or kill the grass. With TRACING SPORT, SOPPEC LINE provides markers ideal for these surfaces, delivering clear and visible markings, even on uneven ground.
5. THE IMPORTANCE OF LINE MARKING CARTS
For straight, accurate lines on uneven surfaces, line marking carts are essential. The new SOPPEC DRIVER SPORT™ revolutionizes marking on rough terrain with its wide wheels, bearing system, and raised chassis, ensuring stability and smooth operation on natural grass, gravel, or uneven asphalt. It allows for seamless line application, maximizing paint control while reducing waste.
Compact and ergonomic, the DRIVER SPORT™ also featres a windscreen, enhancing precision and efficiency. The SOPPEC DRIVER™, conbined with the PureSPRAY™ system, is perfect for smooth surfaces like concrete or asphalt, with the ability to mark up to 500 meters in just 50 minutes. These carts ensure fast, durable, and easy-to-use marking, even on large areas.
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS
Safety is a key factor when choosing a line marker. Technima ensures that its products are safe and reliable for users. The company also adheres to strict environmental standards by developong eco-friendly solutions, optimizing packaging, and improving manufacturing processes. For example, TRACING® 500ml stands out with enhanced safety, featuring only one safety pictogram while maintaining high efficiency and environmental compliance.
Tip : All SOPPEC LINE markers offer easy and precise application, thanks to a nozzle with a slot that ensure uniform paint distribution, whether applied manually or with a marking cart.
