The disclosure relates to a binder composition comprising a resin, at least one flow modifier selected from a hydrated aluminosilicate and a surfactant, optional a plasticizer, optional wax, and optional an elastomer. The hydrated aluminosilicate contains 5 to 50 wt. % of water. The surfactant is selected from the group consisting of acid-functional surfactants, amine-functional surfactants, metal-containing surfactants, metalloid-containing surfactants, and mixtures thereof. The binder composition has superior bonding property and can be used in a thermoplastic road marking (TRM) composition. The TRM composition shows reduction of viscosity in comparison with a TRM composition without the flow modifier.

A fast drying, heavy metal-free, high performance coating composition with outstanding UV resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance coupled with fast dry and long pot life. This coating can be applied over DTM, such as blasted cold rolled steel, or treated cold rolled steel, aluminum and treated aluminum. High corrosion resistance without sacrificing gloss or UV resistance achieved by selecting proper pigments and proper pigment design and packing by advantageously utilizing differing pigment morphologies (sizes and shape).
