Glass Beads

Roadline Tech Glass Beads are manufactured as per British standard BS 6088 A and AASHTO 247 M to meet the retro reflection of all types of road marking paint e.g. Thermoplastics, Cold Solvent (CR) Water-Based, Cold Plastic two-component to provide excellent night retro-reflectivity.

The Glass Beads are coated with silicon which can improve the coupling between glass beads and road marking materials, prevents sinking oµf glass beads to the bottom of material and give maximum reflection.

Chemical composition: Sodium lime glass (SiO2 ≥62%).
Appearance: Clean, transparent, no obvious impurity.
Specific gravity: (g/cm3) 2.4 – 2.6.
Bulk weight (g/cm3): approx. 1.5.
Refractive index: ≥ 1.5.
Spherical beads (%): > 90.
Hardness (Moh’s): 5.5-6.0.
