Proper and visible road markings are a critical factor for the safety aspect on roads and in airports. Consequently correct removal of old markings in preparation for the new paint is a factor which should not be underrated as the process is of considerable importance for obtaining maximum durability and visibility.

Briefly it may be pointed out that road markings can either be removed or cancelled out . Generally cancelling means covering with a black material such as tack-coat which does not totally cover the markings. Removal is a more complete effect carried out by mechanical means, leaving the surface without any marking and sufficiently rough for application of the new paint. In addition the conservation of the underlying strata is greater.

Different technologies are used for removal. The most effective are considered shot blasting or scarifying as both are dust free dry systems, avoiding chemicals which are damaging to the surface. Being dry systems, the mess of water slurry is avoided.
