Preformed Thermoplastic Straight Arrow Overview
Mark traffic lanes quickly and consistently with these white preformed thermoplastic straight arrows. Each pack includes two FHWA standard arrows measuring 9'10" x 3'3", factory cut from Tuff-Mark preformed alkyd thermoplastic sheet for clean, professional results on asphalt and properly prepared concrete.
Tuff-Mark material is supplied in pre-cut shapes that are easy to lay out and bond using a propane heat torch. You get the durability of hot-applied thermoplastic in a convenient preformed arrow marking that can be opened to traffic shortly after installation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Factory-cut preformed thermoplastic straight arrow in FHWA standard size for clear lane guidance.
- White, highly visible pavement arrow that stands out in parking lots, drive lanes, and roadways.
- Available as standard Tuff-Mark or Tuff-Grip skid-resistant surface for added traction in turning and braking areas.
- Optional surface glass beads to boost night visibility and long-term retroreflectivity.
- No preheat required for many asphalt applications when installed according to the Tuff-Mark application procedures.
- Preformed sheet construction helps ensure consistent layout and reduces installation time compared to hand-sprayed arrows.
How to Use These Thermoplastic Arrows
- 1. Clean the pavement, removing dirt, dust, oil, loose sealer, and moisture. Repair major cracks or potholes first.
- 2. Lay out the arrow sections in the correct orientation and check alignment from a driver’s point of view.
- 3. Heat the material evenly with a propane torch, moving in a steady pattern until the arrow fully melts and bonds to the surface and all edges are sealed.
- 4. If you selected the glass bead option, ensure the beads are properly embedded while the material is molten.
- 5. Allow the marking to cool before opening the lane to traffic.
Recommended Uses
- Entrance and exit lanes in commercial parking lots.
- Drive lanes in shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and industrial yards.
- Low-speed roadways, private roads, and internal plant roads.
- Airports and facilities that need durable directional pavement markings.
Storage and Handling
- Store flat in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep material clean and protected from moisture, dust, and solvents prior to installation.
- Follow the Safety Data Sheet for handling, torch operation, and personal protective equipment.
Why Choose Tuff-Mark Straight Arrows
