The subject invention pertains to thermoplastic signaling compositions comprising a binder, which in turn comprises at least one homogeneous polymer. Accordingly, the subject invention provides a thermoplastic signaling composition comprising: (a) from 10 to 80 weight percent of a binder, which in turn comprises: (i) from 1 to 99 weight percent of at least a homogeneous polymer, (ii) from 5 to 70 weight percent of at least one tackifying material, (iii) from 0 to 10 weight percent of a polyethylene having pendant acid functional portions or non-functionalized wax; and (iv) from 0 to 20 percent of a plasticizer, and (b) from 20 to 90 percent by weight of an inorganic filler. The subject formulations are applied usefully by spraying, straightening, and extrusion techniques. |
