Durable Liquid Pavement Markings (DLPM)

Cost: $$

Durable Liquid Pavement Markings (DLPM) refer to both epoxies and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and can be used to delineate the edge of pilot project elements or to fill in project areas. Epoxies may be applied as a paint or a spray but can be sensitive to temperature or moisture, so it is important to allow for long application and drying times. MMA is more resistant to temperature and dries more quickly but can be more expensive. Due to their long-lasting nature, it is recommended that DLPM be reserved for high-traffic areas or quick build projects that are intended to remain for a longer-term period.
