Tempoline is a removable road marking tape that provides the ideal solution for temporary road markings on road works where the existing surface course cannot be damaged. Available in a range of colours including black (used to mask out existing road markings that may conflict with the road works). When Tempoline is removed, the road surface is left with no scars or trace lines

Tempoline should be applied to clean dry surfaces. A primer is applied to the road surface using a primer applicator for large projects or a roller brush for small projects. Allow the primer to become tacky, before applying the tape. Apply the tape to the primed surface using the tape applicator. To achieve the required bond to the road surface, over run the tape with a heavy vehicle. The road may be opened to traffic immediately after application.
