1. Glass Beads for Road Marking

Glass Beads for Road Marking can improve visibility of the traffic markings and road signs and supply safer night driving conditions.

There are two Grades: Class A & Class B and high refractive index Glass Beads available：

Class A, used to making manufacture of reflective thermoplastic road marking paint.

Class B, used to be dropped on the freshly stripped paint surface on the road to give immediate enhanced visibility to night drivers.
