A pavement marking composition comprises an isocyanate-containing component and an amine-containing component. At least one of the components comprises plasticizer and at least one of the components comprises filler. The composition comprises about 5 wt. % or more plasticizer and is substantially free of polyaspartic ester amines.

Pavement marking compositions

An adhesive tape for flexographic printing including a first adhesive layer, a substrate on the first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer on the substrate. The substrate preferably includes a polymeric film layer and a foam layer, wherein the topography of the first and second adhesive layers is substantially independent of the topography of the polymeric film layer. The polymeric film is preferably substantially smooth, and at least one of the first and second adhesive layers is preferably substantially continuous and includes a regular pattern of permanent grooves. The grooves preferably have a depth of about 4 &mgr;m to about 200 &mgr;m, and a width of about 4 &mgr;m to about 200 &mgr;m.
