Abstract
Systems and methods to produce thermoplastic products in a process are described herein. In some cases, the systems and methods may eliminate contact between the product and a heat transfer fluid. The thermoplastic compositions can be useful for roadway markings. In some examples, a formed thermoplastic product is discharged by a product formation apparatus onto a temperature controlled transporter, cooled, and cut to a desired product dimension.
