8381 ACBWJ, a joint venture (JV) company based in Belgium incorporating ACB, a well-established, high-quality paints and coatings manufacturer and WJ, the UK’s leading road safety markings contractor and materials specialist, have combined to innovate high quality marking products for the highway, car park, industrial and school playground sectors worldwide.

Here at Intertraffic, ACBWJ is launching TopMark, claimed to provide a new level of excellence in preformed thermoplastic markings for unlimited highway and non-highway permanent marking applications.

“TopMark is the result of years of practical experience and significant investment in research and development using the most advanced blend of resins, pigments, polymers and engineering to produce an incredibly flexible, durable and skid resistant preformed product,” says Joris Spruyt, Technical Director of ACBWJ. “TopMark displays a mark of quality and it is one of those achievements that make you immensely proud,” he adds.

TopMark is supplied in many formats - sheets and rolls or precision cut letters, numbers, symbols, lines, arrows, logos or complex designs - which are easy to apply using heat from a simple gas torch to melt in situ onto a prepared surface. The system can be supplied in skid resistant, reflective and non-reflective grades and it is a must for visitors to Intertraffic to check out; samples are available on stand 05.340.

ACBWJ also supply a range of other high quality, road marking paints, thermoplastic and MMA road marking materials, surface coatings, anti-graffiti coating and removal systems as well as the new Allux prismatic reflecting road stud. During Intertraffic, the company is actively looking for new distributors for the highway and non-highway sectors worldwide.

    An impending move to free-flow charging prompted a search for automated dangerous goods identification and over-height detection systems at the Thames Crossing to the east of London. Manned toll booths are increasingly being consigned to history by the onslaught of all-electronic charging. However, a secondary function of the traditional manned plazas has been to prevent non-compliant vehicles using the facility or to tell a driver that that they need to use a specific lane or wait for an escort.

    Calls for the demise of white lines on the UK road network are misplaced, misleading and could be fatally flawed, according to the Road Safety Markings Association (RSMA). The Association hit back over claims that erasing markings from busy roads has the effect of slowing motorists down, and allowing driver and pedestrian ‘to make eye contact’ to establish right of way. The idea follows ‘shared space’ schemes where physical boundaries such as kerbstones and railings between the carriageway and footpat
