Product Description
drop on reflective glass bead for road marking paint
Product Description
Reflective glass beads are divided into ordinary glass beads and high refractive index glass beads .Ordinary glass beads are mainly used for traffic coating,the min reflective index is 1.5.High reflective glass beads are mainly used for reflective fabric such as traffic police cloths,highway signs etc.
Transparent spherical glass particle, used to provide night visibility for road markings by retroreflecting the incident headlight beams of a vehicle towards the driver.
Reflective glass beads are among the most economical means to create safer driving conditions. Only road markings that contain glass beads are night-visible. No beads - no visibility at night. When a car's headline beam shines on a striping which integrates glass beads, the striping seems to light up and gets much better visible at night. This effect is called retro-reflection.
Coated glass bead
After coated,glass bead ave hydrophobic,floating and liquidity.It can improve the reflective effect in rainy night,so it is usually used in rainy,foggy and wet environment.What is more,coated glass bead can be netter bonded with painting,which is not easy to fall off and prolong the service life

Production process
1. First to choose the materials,the quality of raw materials determines the quality of glass beads produced in the future. The glass raw materials should be clean and no impurity,with good strength and toughness.
2. After choosing the glass, the next is crushing the glasses.According to the particle size smash the glass into uniform glass sand to save manpower and resources.
3. Putting the crushed glass sand into 1200ºC sintering furnace to fire it,check the quality and hardness while firing.
4. Putting the semi-finished glass bead in to vibration sieve to sieving it.
5. Mixing the sieved glass bead according to a certain proportion.
6. Packing and export
Application
Reflecting glass beads plays a crucial role in maintaining visibility of motorist for driving under dim light or bad weather. They are widely used in highway and airport runway and other pavement transportation systems such as zebra crossing in urban traffic road,cut off line,double amber line road marking etc as reflective materials
