Horizontal road markings are essential road safety features that cannot at present be replaced by any alternative technology. The markings’ main role is keeping the drivers in the center of the delineated travel path. Visible delineation is of critical importance particularly at night, because of scarcity of other visual cues, and that is when retro reflectivity (RL) of road markings is perceived by drivers. Improved guidance at night is necessary, because in darkness the number and severity of vehicular accidents is disproportionally higher than during daytime. but the present advanced technology for self-rechargeable road marking paint permits for obtaining RL. Such high RL translates into improved durability of the entire road marking system, which is highly advantageous from the point of view of finances and society and is environmentally friendly. Moreover, drivers do notice very high RL and appreciate it, particularly during driving in poor weather conditions.
The Aflak Smart Road solution is a product that is a protective hydrophobic, which is an afterglow road marking paint formulation with specifically formulated compounds to store light energy. The protective hydrophobic has the property of absorbing energy during the day and radiation at night. The structure of this road marking paint coating includes a coating layer of a combination of ingredients to store light, which has the property of absorbing energy during the day and radiation at night, as mentioned above. The company is formulating a road protection strip with certain formulations that is sprayed on the road surface. This coating absorbs the solar energy during the day, which is a combination of different rays, resulting in stored environmentally friendly energy. The stored energy is radiated in the dark to make the roads and highways more visible. This will result in greater stability and resistance to various climatic conditions and pollution considering the self-cleaning and hydrophobic properties of this innovative road marking paint.
The global traffic road marking coatings industry has recognized considerable growth over the past several years – expecting compound annual growth through 2026 at over 6%. However, the current market is plagued by a number of distinct pain points, including:
1. Inadequate & poor lighting: causes drivers to misunderstand road paths and thus increases accidents.
2. Hurting wildlife: street lights draw wildlife away from the artificial light.
3. High energy consumption and increased pollution: direct result from the need to power street lights.
Aflak Smart Road (hereafter also referred to as the “Company”) capitalizes on current trends and growth in the industry and seeks to solve fundamental industry problems by focusing on the manufacturing and retailing of a protective hydrophobic, afterglow road marking paint formulation, with specifically formulated compounds to store light energy during the day and radiates said light at night - the first self-rechargeable road marking paint on the market!
Road surfaces at night have a basic need for specific and regular painting and marking. It is in such a situation that we can expect to control and manage traffic to some extent. Only simple lines on the sides of the roads and also in the center are not relevant. Rather, it is possible to use this reflective paint to coat signs and patterns on the road surface as a warning to drivers and even passers-by.
Since this traffic color is often in the form of night vision in such a way that by absorbing the energy of natural daylight, it has the ability to emit this energy in the form of light at night.
As a result, there is no problem for cars to pass. the road marking paint is designed and made for the inner city, also suitable for highways, freeways.
This paint has good adhesion to asphalt and concrete surfaces and is used for marking streets, passages, airport runways and intercity roads.
