Glass beads
MICRO GLASS BEADS FOR ROAD MARKING
They reflect headlight beams back to the driver, preserving the visibility of lines and road markings at night and in adverse weather conditions. Special treatment (adhesion-promoting coating and flotation coating) enhances retention in the marking layer.
Application area and particle size fractions
Fine particle size fractions
Sizes: 100–600 µm, 125–600 µm, 200–700 µm
Designed for thin-film road marking materials.
Coarse particle size fractions
Sizes: 425–850 µm, 500–900 µm
Designed for thick-film materials, including cold plastic and thermoplastic.
APPLICATION METHODS
Surface application of glass beads
For base formulations without intermix glass beads. Applied mechanically or manually over the freshly applied layer before curing or cooling.
Intermix (Premix)
Glass beads are mixed directly into the road marking material during factory production.
Restriction for spray plastic
Glass beads with a particle size fraction of 106–600 µm may be incorporated into spray formulations upon agreement with the customer. Additionally, glass beads can be applied via surface application of glass beads in accordance with road marking specifications.
CONSUMPTION RATE AND APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY
250–500 g/m²
(depending on technical specification requirements)
Carried out immediately after material application before cooling or cure time begins.
