REFLECTIVE GLASS BEADS
Glass bead reflectivity is the most common way of reflecting light.
Thousands of small glass beads embedded in traffic paint will cause it
to light up when automobile lights hit it. Because of their shape and
clarity, each glass bead reflects light back to the source.
Our reflective glass beads are designed to be added to the surface of
traffic paint to make it retro-reflective. The addition of these glass
spheres has a dramatic effect on the night time visibility of stripes
and markings. The beads are to be sprinkled ON TOP of wet paint.They provide a sharp degree of reflectivity in wet or
dry conditions. These are the same beads you will see at night on
interstate highway lines. Whenever they are
distributed on top of wet paint the surface becomes reflective.
