Abstract
A method for accelerating the drying rate of a ceramic bead-containing thermosetting road marking composition admixture when deposited onto a road surface is described. The method comprising heating ceramic beads to a temperature from about 100° to about 500° F. The heated ceramic beads are then admixed with a liquid thermosetting road marking composition to form a substantially homogeneous admixture. This substantially homogeneous admixture is then deposited onto the road surface where it drys at an accelerated rate.

A method for accelerating the drying rate of a ceramic bead-containing thermosetting road marking composition admixture when deposited onto a road surface said method comprising heating ceramic beads;
- admixing said heated ceramic beads with a liquid thermosetting road marking composition to form a substantially homogeneous admixture prior to depositing the homogeneous admixture onto the road surface;
- and depositing said admixture of heated ceramic beads and thermosetting road marking composition onto the road surface whereby said admixture drys at an accelerated rate.
A method of marking a pavement surface, said method comprising applying to the surface of said pavement a substantially homogeneous admixture comprising heated ceramic beads and a thermosetting road marking composition said substantially homogeneous admixture having an accelerated drying and depositing the admixture of heated ceramic beads and thermosetting road marking composition onto the pavement surface.
