Abstract: The subject invention pertains to thermoplastic marking compositions comprising a binder, which in turn comprise at least one homogeneous polymer. Accordingly, the subject invention provides a thermoplastic marking composition comprising: (a) from 10 to 80 weight percent of a binder, which in turn comprises: (i) from 1 to 99 weight percent of at least one homogeneous polymer; (ii) from 5 to 70 weight percent of at least one tackifier; (iii) from 0 to 10 weight percent of a polyethylene which has pendant acid functionality moieties of a non-functionalized wax; and (iv) from 0 to 20 weight percent of a plasticizer; and (b) from 20 to 90 weight percent of an inorganic filler. The subject formulations are usefully applied via spray, screed, and extrusion techniques.
