UNSPSC 13111031: Polyamide

UNSPSC 13111031 Polyamide (Commodity) covers thermoplastic pavement marking materials and equipment that state and local governments purchase to stripe and mark roadways. Recent solicitations show demand for both the raw thermoplastic material itself—specified as granular or pelletized compounds with defined binder, reflective glass sphere, titanium dioxide, and filler compositions—and the application equipment used to deploy it, including self-propelled spray carts and full thermoplastic applicator systems with premelter trailers. The work spans transportation departments, county public works offices, and municipal public works agencies procuring marking materials, standalone application equipment, and integrated pavement-marking services within broader road construction and maintenance projects.
