  Acrylic Paint

A product name for a water-based line marking paint for use on synthetic (e.g. 3G) and other artificial and hard surfaces), being manufactured by Grassline and being available in a 10-litre HDPE container and is for use in either a spray line marker, roller, or brush. Five colours are available: Blue, Green, Red, White, Yellow. The suggested dilution rate is 1 part of the concentrate to 3 parts of water, although a ratio of 1:1 may be required where a particularly dense line is required and possibly for an initial overmark on rugby length 3G surfaces, but the actual dilution rate will depend on the artificial surface being marked out.

  Artificial Grass Paint

A water based, biodegradable line marking paint, available in white, red, blue and yellow, for use on synthetic grass surfaces (as well as hard surfaces), for use in spray line markers. It can be used neat or diluted, with 1 litre of concentrate being typically required to mark out a football pitch. The surface should be dry and air temperatures above 10°C before marking out. New 3G surfaces should not be marked out with this paint as it will not adequately adhere to the grass blades due to the water repellent nature of newly installed synthetic grass blades. It is produced by Pitchmark.

  Atomic

A low-volume white line marking paint, containing titanium dioxide, resins and surfactants, and which is ready to use, being applied through a low-volume sprayer with a hollow cone or fan jet. A full-sized football pitch can be overmarked using 1.1 litres of this paint, with it being available in a 10-litre container, which could therefore mark out 9 pitches. It is manufactured by Bowcom.

  Atomic Colours

The same low-volume line marking paint as the product ‘Atomic' paint, but available in the colours of Black, Blue, Red, and Yellow.

  Briteline Range

A product name for a range of line marking liquid paints, including: • Briteline: White, for dilution of up to 3 parts water to 1-part concentrate being used in transfer wheel marking equipment. • Briteline Plus: White, for dilution of up to 4 parts water to 1-part concentrate being used in either transfer wheel marking equipment or spray markers.

  Clubline

A water-based, biodegradable, line marking paint, for pressure sprayers or wheel-to-wheel transfer markers, which is diluted with water up to a ratio of 4:1. It is available in white, red, yellow and blue. Up to 2 to 3 litres of concentrate mixed with water might be typical for marking out a football pitch. These are produced by Pitchmark.

  Colours

A product name for a range of coloured line marking paint for use on natural grass, being manufactured by Grassline. Different colours of Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow are available in 10-litre HDPE containers and are for use in either a spray line marker or a transfer wheel line marker. The suggested dilution rate is 1 part of the concentrate to 3 parts of water, although for initial marking a rate of 1:2 might be more appropriate, whilst for overmarking up to a ratio of 1:4 may also be appropriate, but the dilution rate will depend on the extent of permanency from the marked-out lines.

  Direct

A water-based, biodegradable, white line marking paint, for high pressure sprayers, which is not diluted. Approximately 3 litres can be used to mark out a football pitch. These are produced by Pitchmark.
