Glass beads for traffic paint

Lacquered glass beads have a white powder solid appearance and are easy to color. In a microscopic view, we produce lacquered glass beads that are uniform in size, round, and have high product clarity.

First of all, our paint glass beads have a spherical structure that can retro-reflect any light.

When exposed to natural light or light from car or bicycle headlights, the light reflected from the glass spheres attached to the paint surface can be reflected back to the driver, increasing the visibility of the paint surface and attracting the driver’s attention, especially in the night time or when the road is humid, which can serve as a warning to avoid potential dangers.

Secondly, our paint glass beads own product viscosity is low, attached to the surface of the paint, not only their own viscosity is low, but also reduce the viscosity of the overall paint coating, so that the paint is not easy to stain the dust impurities, not easy to discoloration, aging.

What’s more, our lacquered glass beads have high hardness and wear-resistant, even if they are used for road markings that are often crushed by pedestrians and vehicles, they are not easy to wear and tear, which greatly prolongs the life of the markings and makes them durable.

Our lacquered glass beads are chemically stable and have a high melting point. When applied to outdoor road markings, they are not easy to decompose and dissolve in hot weather, and have excellent thermal insulation effect, so that the paint finish can be maintained for a long time. However, we still recommend regular maintenance or repainting to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the finish and consistent visibility.

In addition, our lacquer glass beads have good flow properties, are easy to apply and dry quickly, and provide a glossy, textured finish to the paint.
Finally, our lacquer glass beads are made from safe and non-polluting raw materials, which will not affect the health of road workers or harm the environment or wildlife, making them a green and pollution-free industrial product.

In the instantaneous reflection scenario, we recommend you to use professional line marking equipment or manually spread the paint glass beads evenly on the surface of paint, ether, epoxy resin and other coatings, and you need to ensure that the paint surface is wet rather than dry, otherwise the beads can not be adhered to the paint surface, resulting in a significant reduction in the reflective effect.

For non-instantaneous reflective applications, such as road and runway markings, we recommend that you mix the lacquer glass beads with the paint and stir well, then apply with a brush.

Coatings produced in this way are not as reflective as in instantaneous reflective applications, but the reflective backlit lacquer glass beads will continue to be exposed as the finish wears down, adding a unique texture to the finish and extending the life of the finish. You can choose different application methods or mixes to maximize the effect of the product for different application needs.

We produce lacquer glass beads in accordance with international standards, and the price of the product depends on the product specification. We can provide customers with customized services and product use guidelines, and we recommend that you regularly maintain or repaint the paint surface, the correct use and maintenance is the key to ensure the effectiveness of the use of lacquer glass beads.
