Description:
There are mainly two types of glass beads used for road marking:
Standard Glass Beads
- These are the most commonly used. They have a relatively uniform size, usually ranging from about 0.4 - 0.85 mm in diameter. Standard glass beads provide good retro - reflectivity and are suitable for most normal road - marking applications, such as on highways, urban roads, and parking lots.
High - Index Glass Beads
- These beads have a higher refractive index than standard glass beads. They are designed to provide enhanced retro - reflectivity. High - index glass beads are often used in situations where maximum visibility is required, such as in areas with poor lighting conditions, sharp curves, or at intersections.
Specifiction:
| Product Name | Glass beads, glass microbeads |
| Size | 0.1-1.0mm or customized |
| Chemical composition | SiO2>67%, CaO>8.0%, MgO>2.5%, Na2O<14%, AI2O3:0.5-2.0%, Fe2O3>0.15%, other 2.0% |
| Specific gravity | 2.4-2.6g/cm3 |
| Appearance | Smooth, round, transparent glass without impurities |
| Roundness rate | ≥85% |
| Application | Glass beads are used in the derusting of aerospace machinery, night reflections of zebra crossings, no-stop lines, double yellow lines in urban traffic roads, and night reflection devices of traffic signs. Also can be used as filler in Plastics, Rubber, Coatings, etc. Decorations for Artificial Marble. |
There are several sizes of glass beads used in road marking.
Typically, the diameter of glass beads for road marking ranges from about 0.1 to 1.0 mm. The most common size range is from 0.4 to 0.85 mm. Smaller beads around 0.1 - 0.4 mm can provide a smoother surface texture to the road marking, but may have lower retro - reflectivity. Larger beads in the range of 0.6 - 1.0 mm generally have better retro - reflectivity but may protrude more and affect the smoothness of the road - marking surface if not properly applied.
The glass material is actually colorless and transparent, but because the glass beads have a scattering effect on light in the entire visible spectrum, it looks white in color. But when it is added to a colored material, it scatters the light of the material color, so it can be widely used in any material that requires an appearance color without affecting the original material color.
Do different sizes of glass beads affect their performance in road marking?
Yes, different sizes of glass beads do affect their performance in road marking.
Smaller glass beads (around 0.1 - 0.4 mm in diameter) can provide a smoother surface texture to the road marking. However, they may not have as high a retro - reflectivity as larger beads because they have less surface area to reflect light back to the driver's eyes.
Larger glass beads (about 0.6 - 1.0 mm) generally have better retro - reflectivity. They can effectively reflect light from vehicle headlights over a greater distance and at wider angles. But if they are too large, they may protrude too much from the road - marking material, leading to a less smooth surface and a higher risk of being dislodged by traffic.
The ideal size range for glass beads used in road marking is usually between 0.4 - 0.85 mm, as this provides a good balance between retro - reflectivity and surface durability.
Application:
Road marking glass beads have several important applications:
Traffic Safety
- They are used in road markings such as center lines, edge lines, and lane dividers. When vehicle headlights shine on the markings, the glass beads reflect light, making the markings highly visible at night or in low - light conditions. This helps drivers clearly see the road layout and boundaries, reducing the risk of accidents due to poor visibility.
Durability
- Glass beads improve the durability of road markings. They are embedded in the paint or thermoplastic material used for markings. As vehicles drive over the markings, the beads help protect the marking material from being worn away quickly by friction, thus extending the service life of the road markings.
