What is Road Marking Glass Beads?

Road marking coating reflective glass beads are small diameter glass solid spheres made of crushed glass containing silica, sodium and calcium components by high temperature firing, which have good reflective properties. It is applied as premixed material for normal temperature and hot melt ordinary marking paint to achieve reflective effect.

 

What is road marking glass beads?

 

Glass beads for road marking are widely used in city road line, highway pavement, guardrail outline, etc.

 

Road marking glass beads are used to guide road users in the dark because of the presence of glass beads on their surface that reflect the lights of cars, motorcycles and bicycles. The glass beads reflect the vehicle's headlights to the driver, just like a mirror.

 

Reflective road marking glass beads for road markings can improve the reflective properties of road marking paint. The headlight marking with glass beads can reflect the light from the headlights back to the driver to see the driving direction and improve the safety of driving at night.

 

Road reflective glass beads are a kind of fine glass ball made of glass sand (waste glass) melted under high temperature. Road marking glass beads are spherical under the microscope, colorless and transparent, with a refractive index of 1.5-1.64. The diameter ranges from 44 to 1400 microns.

 

TRNROADS reflective road paint beads use window glass with clean white color and reflective micro glass beads perform well when used for marking, with over 80% roundness and guaranteed reflectivity.

 

With years of experience in manufacturing road reflective paint beads, we have proven glass bead solutions for paint, such as Intermix Glass Beads, Drop On Glass Beads, High Index Reflective Glass Beads. National standards of GT, BS6088, EN1424/1423 and AASHTO guarantee quality of our glass beads for road marking.

 

Reflective road paint beads play an essential role in traffic safety due to their retro-reflective properties. This property allows drivers to see road line markings more realistically at night and in wet conditions. When a car's headlight beam shines on road markings with integrated embedded saturated reflective glass bead powder, the line stripes light up and become less complex at night. This effect is called retro-reflection. There are two types of glass beads for road marking paint: hybrid drip type and hybrid type, which should be added directly to the road marking paint and mixed well. Meanwhile, the drip type is drawn in the road marking instead of spraying directly on the dry coated reflective micro glass beads.

 

As a road marking manufacturer of glass beads, our reflective road paint beads are sold in 50 lb. or 25 kg. plastic bags or large bags. Utilities require 5-7 pounds of reflective road paint beads per gallon of USSC traffic marking paint. Reflective micro-glass beads can be dripped into many special types of non-reflective paints to give them a reflective effect.

How UHMWPE Sheets Revolutionize Industrial Applications

图片
  Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) sheets are increasingly becoming a cornerstone in various industrial applications due to their exceptional properties. This material, renowned for its superior strength, durability, and versatility, has revolutionized numerous sectors, from manufacturing to medical fields. This article delves into how UHMWPE sheets are transforming industries and why they are favored over traditional materials.   1. Understanding UHMWPE Sheets UHMWPE is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene, characterized by its extremely long molecular chains. These chains, with molecular weights in the range of 3 to 6 million amu, contribute to its outstanding physical properties. UHMWPE sheets exhibit high impact resistance, low friction, and excellent chemical resistance, making them ideal for demanding environments.   2. Enhanced Durability and Wear Resistance One of the standout features of UHMWPE sheets is their unparalleled wear resistance. Industries tha

  To determine which camping chair is best for you, you will have to sift through material types, portability, price and many more. Therefore, we have put together a handy camping chair guide to make the choice a little easier. We go over the portability, weight capacity, materials and price of   camping chairs   to help you decide. HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR WHEN YOU'RE BUYING A NEW CAMPING CHAIR.   1. Materials   First, let's take a look at the materials used in making one camping chair. There is a vast variety of camping chair materials that you can choose from when shopping for a camping chair. But, most current models have aluminum legs and body frame. This is because aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Plus, aluminum is corrosion resistant so it prevents rust.   As for the seats and armrests, a coated rip-stop nylon fabric is used because of its durability and water resistance capabilities. But some brands use closed-cell foam padding instead for extra

Is Sublimation Paper the Same as Heat Transfer Paper?

图片
In the realm of garment printing and crafting, confusion often arises between sublimation paper and   heat transfer paper . While both are vital tools in the process of transferring designs onto various surfaces, they serve distinct purposes and possess unique characteristics. Understanding the disparities between these two types of paper is crucial for achieving optimal results in your printing endeavors. Sublimation Paper: Unveiling its Essence Sublimation paper  is a specialized medium used primarily in sublimation printing—a technique that involves transferring dye onto materials such as fabrics, ceramics, and metals through a process of sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid substance transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In sublimation printing, heat and pressure are applied to sublimation paper, causing the solid dye particles to sublimate and bond with the surface of the substrate. The key characteristic of sublimation paper is its uniq
