Crisp, clear communication with Dy-Mark Spray & Mark

Industrial survey and spot marking paint is all about communication, enabling directions to be laid down on site to keep construction workers safe and moving efficiently.

Marking paint needs to be reliable, clear and suited to the specific task at hand. It should also last as long as required, without being permanent. Using lower quality paints can result in poor adhesion to the surface material, inconsistent coverage, slow drying, rapid fading, brittleness and cracks, and the risk of the paint simply disappearing!

This can lead to:

• Increased costs: due to reapplication of the product, along with potential downtime and reduced productivity.
• Safety issues: increased risk of accidents (for example where road markings are faded or missing).
• Poor visibility: markings that are not clear enough.

Problems can also arise from selecting the wrong colour for the job, which can lead to inaccurate messaging, confusion and potential safety issues.

How Dy-Mark Spray & Mark is fit for purpose?

Dy-Mark Spray & Mark marking paints can be used to communicate service locations, measurements, reference points, work stages and underground hazards, and to mark sections for later removal. They are formulated to produce crisp, highly-visible marks on a wide variety of surfaces, including concrete, bitumen, steel, asphalt, rock, timber and broken ground.

Spray & Mark paints are made from high-quality ingredients and offer:

• True colour pigment loading.
• A wide range of standard and fluorescent colours.
• Very quick drying time – five minutes at 25ºC based on internal testing performed by Dy-Mark.
• 360° technology that helps provide consistent spray performance without repositioning, whether marking trenches, vertical surfaces or hard‑to‑reach areas.
• Ability to produce line and spot markings and writing.
• Colours aligned with the utility identification colour conventions referenced in AS 5488.1:2022 for subsurface utility identification.
  

The colour range includes:

• White: for communications including traffic management and asset identification.
• Green: stormwater/raw water, including sewer systems and drain-lines.
• Orange: electrical services such as underground telecommunication lines.
• Red: fire services, including underground hydrants, sprinkler systems and so on.

Dy-Mark also offers the tools and accessories required to apply the paints, such as long-arm handles and two-wheel spot-marking applicators. These tools have been designed to optimise reach and accuracy, and to help reduce operator fatigue.
