Crystal beads are added in order to improve the identification of lines at night, to improve the brightness and durability of the marking. Crystal bead is colorless and transparent ball, has function of light refraction, focusing and directional reflection. Crystal bead mixed in the coating or dispensed throughout the coating surface can reflect car light back to the driver’s eyes, thus greatly improving the marking visibility. Flat glass cullet (waste glass from window manufacturers) is crushed and transformed in furnaces into spherically shaped reflectors that become a road safety product.
Road Marking Beads Reflective BS6088-B Coated & Uncoated
Product Description:
Road Marking Beads Reflective are solid, spherical crystal beads for use with road marking materials such as Road and Line Marking Paint Water Based, Solvent Based and Thermowhite.
Intended Uses:
Solid crystal beads for use with road marking compounds, Class A and Class B are high quality glass microspheres resulting from the specialised processing of selected glass culet. Road Marking Paint Reflective Crystal Beads are a major factor in increasing road safety in an economical manner. Thanks to the beads’ retro-reflective action at night, a vehicles headlight beam is returned to the drivers eye.
The microspheres not only multiply the visibility of the markings at night, but also increase the markings durability in general. Road marking reflective crystal beads are used as a drop agent and as premix beads for road marking materials.
Characteristics:
- Increase the visibility of the marking material in wet conditions and at night (retroreflection)
- Increase the durability of the road marking
- and are an especially economical way to improve traffic guidance and safety.
