Description:
Road marking glass beads are small, spherical beads specifically designed for use in road markings. They are typically made of high-quality glass materials with excellent optical properties. These beads possess a high refractive index, enabling them to effectively reflect light. When incorporated into road marking paints or thermoplastic materials, they enhance the visibility of the markings, especially during nighttime or in adverse weather conditions. The beads are uniformly sized and have a smooth surface, which allows for proper embedding and even distribution within the marking medium. This not only improves the durability of the road markings by withstanding the abrasion caused by vehicle traffic but also ensures long-term and reliable visibility, contributing significantly to traffic safety and guidance on the roads.
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% |

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. |
How many types of road marking glass beads are there?
There are mainly the following types of road - marking glass beads:
1. According to the manufacturing process
- Fused glass beads: Produced by fusing raw materials at high temperatures. They have good spherical shape and uniformity, and are widely used due to their reliable performance and stable quality.
2. According to the particle size
- Type I: These are relatively large - sized glass beads. They are often used in thicker road - marking materials such as thermoplastic markings to provide better retro - reflection and durability.
- Type II: Slightly smaller in size. They can be used in various types of paint - based road markings to ensure good light reflection characteristics and a relatively smooth marking surface.
3. According to the reflective performance
- High - reflectivity glass beads: These beads have excellent reflective capabilities, which can strongly reflect light from vehicle headlights back to the driver's eyes, significantly improving the visibility of road markings at night or in low - light conditions.
- Normal - reflectivity glass beads: Their reflective performance is more common and is usually used in areas where the requirements for light reflection are not extremely high, such as in some secondary roads or less - trafficked areas.
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.
