Materials and Structure
The beads are composed of recycled glass with a spherical shape and smooth or matte surface finish. The glass composition ensures high roundness and a stable refractive index, contributing to effective retroreflection in road markings.
Applications
- Road marking paints and thermoplastics
- Highway and airport pavement markings
- Traffic safety products for parking lots and pedestrian crossings
- Used in road marking machines and sandblasting/polishing equipment
Customization
We offer custom color and size options to meet specific project requirements. Custom packaging and logistics solutions (FOB, CIF, DDP, EXW) are available to facilitate global delivery.
Case Study
In a 3-year project with a road marking engineering company, 56 tons of glass beads were used to increase the reflective refractive index of road performance. The result: 3 years stable performance with low wear, demonstrating the durability of our product.
Another project involved 198 tons over 3 years, achieving stable performance and low wear, highlighting scalability for large-scale road safety projects.
