Samhwa Paint Industrial announced on the 9th that it participated in the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s ‘Lane Visibility Improvement Project’ and applied the ‘Irregular Protruding Lane’ on roads around Yeouido.

The ‘Lane Visibility Improvement Project’ is an initiative by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to apply new lane technologies on six locations, including Yeouido-dong and Seocho-dong, covering a total of 36.8 km of two-way roads, to develop clear and safe lanes. Among these, Samhwa Paint applied the ‘Irregular Protruding Lane’ on the center line of a 10 km two-way section of Yeouido Yeouidong-ro and Yeouiseo-ro.

The ‘Irregular Protruding Lane’ is a high-performance lane newly introduced by Samhwa Paint as it entered the road marking business. This lane type has the most advanced lane reflection performance among currently developed lanes, offering clear lane visibility and strong durability.

Samhwa Paint’s ‘Irregular Protruding Lane’ features a high coating thickness and a rough structural texture, preventing the lane from easily submerging in rainwater and reflecting vehicle headlights more widely compared to conventional 2D lanes. This lane has a durability lifespan 1.5 times longer than existing lanes and is easy to maintain, significantly reducing social costs for lane maintenance.

A representative from Samhwa Paint said, “Every driver has probably experienced the fear of not seeing lane markings at least once,” and added, “For the safety of citizens and drivers, the application of high-performance lanes that are clearly visible at night and during rain, and are easy to maintain, should be expanded.”

Meanwhile, Samhwa Paint first introduced the ‘Irregular Protruding Lane’ in August last year during the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s ‘Road Marking Pilot Project’ and has now officially applied it in the current ‘Lane Visibility Improvement Project’ by Seoul.
