What is
RainLine?
The RainLine SystemSM is a revolutionary safety marking system that
remains visible even under the heaviest rainfall. Conventional traffic
striping materials are coated with a surface layer of glass beads.
These beads reflect light from the vehicle's headlights back to the
driver's eyes. This allows him or her to see the traffic stripes
at night. When a conventional flat type traffic stripe is wet, the
glass beads are coated with water and no longer reflect light back to
the driver. When driving in wet conditions, all flat type traffic
striping becomes invisible. The RainLine System is an all weather
traffic striping system that places inverted profiles into the traffic
stripe. The tiny profiles form small ridges which will rapidly
drain away rain water. This draining happens so quickly that the
glass beads do not become covered with water. This allows the
beads to continue to reflect light, making the traffic stripe visible
even during the heaviest of rain storms. Covered
