ViaTherm® and PREMARK®
During the 70s, LKF grew steadily as thermoplastic became recognised as the dominant road marking material in Europe. In the laboratory, LKF developed its own thermoplastic product called ViaTherm® and cancelled its licence agreement. Road markings were still laid using machines and templates, but after several years of development work, LKF launched a product called PREMARK®, which is a prefabricated road marking ready for use.

TacPad® and TacGuide®

Over the last years, LKF has expanded the business areas and has started the production of tactile markings. TacPad® and TacGuide® signify a safer route for the blind and visually impaired when travelling alone.
