Road Marking & Traffic Safety

Introduction Road safety has become a global priority as urbanization, vehicle ownership, and transportation infrastructure rapidly expand. To ensure clear visibility and traffic guidance—especially during nighttime, fog, or rain—high‑performance retroreflective materials are essential. Glass beads play a leading role in modern road‑marking systems due to their ability to return light directly to drivers, improving reaction time and reducing accident risks.

Application Scenarios

Glass beads are integrated into thermoplastic paint, cold‑applied coatings, two‑component road marking materials, and preformed tapes used in highways, airport runways, urban intersections, tunnels, school zones, and parking lots. They also support maintenance repainting, road upgrades, and intelligent traffic systems.

Product Advantages

- High refractive index delivers outstanding nighttime retroreflectivity
- Excellent roundness ensures consistent road marking brightness
- Weather‑resistant performance withstands UV, water, and heavy traffic
- Strong bonding with paints for longer service life
- Eco‑friendly, non‑toxic, compliant with global safety standards

Technical Features & Specifications

Available in 60–325 mesh, refractive index 1.5–1.9, moisture‑proof coatings, adhesion‑enhanced beads, and high‑durability polymer‑coated types. Meets EN1423/1424, AASHTO M247, and national traffic engineering standards.

Applicable Industries & End Users

Transport authorities, road contractors, airport operators, engineering companies, city planners, paint manufacturers, and safety‑equipment suppliers.

Case Study

A Southeast Asian expressway deployed high‑refractive‑index glass beads, achieving a 48% improvement in nighttime visibility and reducing repainting frequency by one‑third—saving labor and material costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose bead size?

Larger beads for highway and thermoplastic marking; smaller beads for urban water‑based paint.

Do beads require surface coating?

Yes—adhesion coating improves embedment and long‑term reflectivity.
