QMS HyperLine™ - Saves Lives, Saves Cost, Saves the Environment

QMS HyperLine™ is our award winning innovative, high performance, alternative line marking process for the maintenance of existing road markings. Suitable for Edge Lines, Centre Lines, Hatching & Chevrons, this pioneering technique is revolutionising the road markings throughout the United Kingdom.

QMS HyperLine™ is a combination of a cold, spray applied Waterborne Acrylic Resin and two sizes of Recycled Glass Beads, producing a road marking that is environmentally sustainable with high levels of performance and productivity.

Traffic Management is greatly reduced as the outputs can be as much as 275% greater than conventional line marking systems. Add this together with over a 200% increase in performance and very low Co₂ emissions; QMS HyperLine™ is an environmentally sustainable, high performance road marking system.

With high emphasis on environmental sustainability, we have calculated the Co₂ emissions of our QMS HyperLine™ system. Less than 1kg of Co₂ is produced per m2 of Road Marking. This includes the manufacture and application of the product. Achieving a staggering 80% saving on Co₂ emissions compared to Sprayed Thermoplastic Markings.

QMS HyperLine™ is still the only available Waterborne Resin for line marking maintenance on the UK's Highway Network. It has tried and tested and carries a British Road Trials Certificate. With many years of proven durability and performance, in fact millions of metres laid and not a single metre failed.

Available Nationally.

FAQs

A thin paint system….how long will it last?

The system has been used throughout the world for many years. We have carried out extensive testing with the system over the past ten years in the UK through an independent materials laboratory and have test results in excess of 200mcd after 24 months.

Can QMS HyperLine™ be applied in urban areas?

We believe in promoting the use of various materials in different locations. The longitudinal road markings on a motorway or trunk road will not be subjected to the same level of abrasion as a busy traffic light junction in a city centre. We promote the use of Preformed Thermoplastic and Cold Applied Methyl Methacrylate systems together with conventional Screed Thermoplastic in urban areas. We do however have a yellow / deep cream waterborne paint system for the over marking of yellow lines, an ideal solution for minimising material build-up and potential drainage problems.

How quickly does it dry?

The dry time is comparable to Sprayed Thermoplastic ie. under 1 minute (depending on ambient temperature). After the initial dry time, the system can be trafficked with little risk of line tracking. The system continues to harden after the dry time until full cure has been reached after approximately 20 minutes.

Why is it so much more reflective than Thermoplastic?

The varying sizes of glass beads have a unique coating that works in tandem with the acrylic resin. When the two products come together they lock to each other eliminating "plucking out" of the glass beads through vehicle movement, a common cause of poor reflecting thermoplastic road markings.

What CO₂ Savings can we expect?

Compared to Sprayed Thermoplastic Marking Material we have achieved up to 81% saving in C0₂ emissions. For more detailed information please download our HyperLine™ Brochure.

Why is the HyperLine™ System so more environmentally friendly than Sprayed Thermoplastic?

The equipment used for the installation of the System is applied at an approximate rate of 10km/hour resulting in approximately 75% cost saving in Traffic Management costs (compared to sprayed thermoplastic). The fast application reduces time spent on the highway minimising disruption for the motorist and resulting in significant savings in C0₂ emissions. The base component of QMS HyperLine™ is Waterborne Acrylic Resin, which is solvent free and produces virtually zero VOCs. The two sizes of glass beads used in the system are produced from recycled glass that would otherwise have been destined for landfill.

Is it a Proven System?

Since the introduction of QMS HyperLine™ to the UK Highway Network in 2006, there have been no reported failures in performance, and literally millions of metres applied. QMS HyperLine™ has been successfully installed for the managing agents of the Highways Agency throughout the United Kingdom and on various DBFO contracts and Local Authority area Networks.
