Cold Applied MMA Surface Treatment in Thornwood
Get in touchCold applied MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) in Thornwood is a surface treatment designed to provide bright, colourful surfaces with both high skid resistance and slip resistance.
This technology delivers rapid curing to surfaces that have suffered extreme wear and fading colours. Cold applied MMA in Thornwood can also be applied over existing thermoplastic markings if their coatings are worn down and the surface remains in good condition.
Our cold applied MMA treatment uses PU modified MMA technology, recommended for areas where excessive stress causes progressive erosion. These include traffic calming schemes, cycle tracks, busy junctions, and demarcation zones. Cold applied methyl methacrylate also improves safety in Thornwood for pedestrian crossings requiring bright coloured surfaces.
Our cold applied MMA products have a proven track record in the UK and internationally. We use PU modified MMA to increase performance and efficiency.
We provide a wide range of applications for different areas and surfaces in Thornwood. Our treatments are cost-effective, delivered by skilled installers who complete projects quickly. You can always trust our applied MMA services in G11 6.
Our MMA solutions are free from toxic heavy metals, making them environmentally friendly. They offer excellent skid resistance, temperature resistance, strong adhesion, and glass bead retention for long-lasting durability.
What are MMA Cold Plastic Markings in Thornwood?
Cold plastic marking materials are based on acrylate binder and reactive monomers where catalyst-controlled curing occurs. Cold plastic markings are recognised for their extreme durability and endurance.
These materials have excellent hard-wearing properties and strong adhesion to asphalt and concrete. They are widely used in Thornwood where stress is inevitable, including traffic areas, roads, and busy junctions.

Applications in Thornwood
Cold applied MMA in Thornwood should be installed on clean, contaminant-free surfaces. Once prepared, MMA paint can be applied and dries quickly, usually in 3–5 minutes.
We recommend:
Hand moulds, brushes, or sprays for small areas.
Rollers for large zones such as stop lines and box junctions.
What are Thermoplastic Road Markings in Thornwood?
Thermoplastic markings are applied hot and cure as they cool, creating a bright and reflective polymer layer. They are widely used in Thornwood for safety at night.
The main drawback is reduced skid resistance, which increases risks in wet conditions. Glass beads are sometimes added to improve traction.
What is the Difference Between Thermoplastic and MMA Cold Plastic in Thornwood?
Thermoplastic markings require heat to cure, while MMA cold plastic cures chemically.
Thermoplastic delivers high reflectivity, but MMA provides superior skid and slip resistance.
Colours Available in Thornwood
