Drop-on Glass Beads are specially designed for road marking applications
where visibility and safety are critical. These micro glass beads are
directly dropped or sprayed onto freshly applied thermoplastic or liquid
road marking paints, embedding themselves into the surface. Once applied,
they provide retro-reflectivity by reflecting vehicle headlights back to
drivers, ensuring clear lane guidance at night and in adverse weather.
Drop-on glass beads enhance durability, brightness, and skid resistance of
road markings, making them essential for highways, urban roads, pedestrian
crossings, and airport markings.
Benefits of Drop-on Glass Beads
- High Retro-Reflectivity – Ensures clear
visibility of road markings at night.
- Safety Enhancement – Improves driver
guidance and reduces accident risks.
- Long-Lasting – Increases the durability and
service life of road markings.
- Weather Resistant – Performs reliably under
rain, fog, and heavy traffic.
- Easy Application – Can be applied directly
onto wet paint or thermoplastic coatings.
- Standards Compliance – Meets international
safety standards such as EN1423, EN1424, and ASTM.
Applications of Drop-on Glass Beads
- Highways, expressways, and national roads
- City roads and traffic intersections
- Pedestrian crossings and stop lines
- Airport taxiways and runways
- Parking lots and bicycle lanes
