This new version of the heat shrink gun, dedicated to roadmarking, is the latest development from Express Shrink Wrapping’s R&D teams.Various innovations have been brought together to offer users an exceptional tool that combines power and ergonomics.

As usual with Express Shrink Wrapping, along with catalogue number 10151, you will find all the accessories you need to get to work right away.

The Hornet roadmarking gun features a fixed 4-bar regulator Cat. No. 684 for use with propane, a 10-metre flexible rubber hose (French standard NF EN ISO 3821) Cat. No. 963/10, a trigger and a spare Piezo Cat No. 42305. As with almost all of the products in this range, a quick-release coupling is supplied with the Hornet gun handle, so you can attach your hose in a click.

All of these products come in a robust black carrying case, which also contains a pair of protective gloves, making this kit a handy companion for signage professionals and anyone whose job involves ground-marking.

This kit has been specially designed for all those who need increased power for long periods or from time to time, when working with difficult materials or in challenging conditions.

Offering power of up to 160 kW, this tool has got “plenty under the hood” for the effective and long-lasting application of thermoplastic markings.

Express Shrink Wrapping tip: It is best to begin with a lower-powered burner, such as the one fitted on catalogue number 11601, which, with its long straight burner, delivering 90 kW / 307 100 BTU/h, makes it possible to work with certain thermoplastic resin strips containing reflective beads. These are designed to provide greater visibility on the ground at night or in poor light conditions.

When presenting their own road marking solutions, too many manufacturers fail to mention the added value of this first step, which, according to our experience, is often essential in order to preserve the structure of reflective beads in certain sophisticated categories of thermoplastic markings.
