Glass bead for road marking, the annual production is more than 30,000tons every year. All types of glass bead are  available here,  which has exported glass bead to more than 20 countries in the  world, such as Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, USA, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Italy, Australia, Egypt, Ukraine, etc.

reflective glass beads is an integral part of the safety by keeping the marking visible day and night. During  the  day  time  the  white  road  marking  material  gives  the  sufficient  visibility  as  a  contrast  to  the asphalt. In the night time contrast of the white line is not sufficient and must be improved by adding light reflective glass beads.

The glass beads can be intermixed into the road marking materials and during the life time of the marking the glass beads will reflect the light and keep the line visible during night. Reflective glass beads can also be dropped on the road marking material during application to ensure the immediate night visibility.
