The introduction of glass beads

Brief Introduction about Road Marking Micro Glass Beads /Glass Micro spheres

Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres are tiny spheres of glass that used in road marking paint and durable road markings to reflect light back to the driver in darkness or poor weather conditions – improving safety and visibility. Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres play a very important role in the road safety.

We could supply Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres according to different standards, including GB/T24722-2009, BS6088A/B, AASHTOM247, EN 1423/1424, AS2009-B/C, KSL2521, with or without coating. Customized sizes are also available upon request.

Applications of Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres

(1)Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres perform an important function of traffic safety because of their retro-reflective properties. Instead of scattering light, Road Marking Micro Glass Beads / Glass Micro spheres turn the light around and send it back to the direction of the driver's headlights. This property allows the motorist to clearly see the pavement line markings more clearly at night and in wet conditions.

(2)During the process of road work, drop glass bead onto the road line painted with thermoplastic paint which is heated to certain temperature while the paint is still wet, thus to increase the reflectivity of road marking.

(3)During the production of highway painting, put glass bead into paint based on the ratio of 18%-25% (weight percentage), so that the highway paint can still keep reflectivity during wear and friction.

Premixed Glass Beads

pre-mixed with thermoplastic coatings and applied on the road surface with the thermoplastic coating

Drop-On Glass Beads

sprayed on the road marking paints before the paints dry

Coated-On Glass Beads

Dropped on to premixed two-part epoxy or thermoplastic materials
