Reflective glass beads embedded in road paint improve night-time visibility and driver safety on highways, urban roads, and airport surfaces.
Road marking glass beads are dropped onto wet paint or embedded in thermoplastic lines to create retroreflective surfaces. Vehicle headlights strike the beads and return toward the driver, making lane lines and symbols visible at night.
National highway authorities and municipal contractors specify bead type, size, and embedment rate to meet visibility standards.
Bead Selection for Road Marking
Larger beads (1.5 mm–3 mm) provide strong retroreflection; fine beads improve initial embedment in thin paint films. AH, AQ, and AF grades offer enhanced durability for high-traffic corridors.
Proper storage in dry conditions prevents clumping and ensures even application from bead dispensers.
