Glass Beads

Hot Melt Road Marking Paints are applied in a relatively thick layer in which glass beads are added (premix or Intermix beads). The Intermix beads produce a constant reflectivity throughout the lifecycle of the marking material. As the road marking material wears over time new beads are exposed maintaining the retro-reflection characteristics of the road marking material. Drop On Glass Beads-To enhance the initial visibility properties glass spheres are also dropped in the thermoplastic paint during its application
