No Dilution Required Sports Field Marking Paint

Turf _Tips, Demos, Product_Review


Customers continue to evaluate time versus supply cost savings when selecting products and services for their sports complex operations. Some customers are willing to pay more per applied gallon of field marking to eliminate their paint mixing operations.

A majority of field marking marking paints are formulated to support different dilution ratios to achieve the lowest cost per diluted gallon while ensuring sufficient coverage and brightness.

Some of the field marking equipment requires some amount of paint dilution due to viscosity of the paint and the lower pressure pump technology.

Shipping costs also have an impact on field marking paint selection since avoiding the transport of water which can be added locally and mixed makes since for many customers.

There are more customers looking for convenience and saving time as part of paint mixing operations, in many cases eliminating the need to spend time diluting field marking paint before application.

TruMark has been testing a field marking paint formulation that is designed to be ready to use directly from the manufacturer, no additional water required and subsequent paint mixing prior to use.

The SwitchBack Cheap Seats Ready to Use (RTU) formulation is for immediate use. The sports field marking paint has anti-settling agents to minimize the solids from separating from the mixture while stored in 5-gallons pails.

Cheap Seats RTU sports field marking paint is ideal for 12-volt low pressure low volume diaphragm pump technologies that typically operate near the 45 psi range.

Check out some of the images where Cheap Seats RTU, white has been applied to a sports complex football field along with SwitchBack Ground Boss Tiger Orange.
