reflective glass beads
Reflective glass beads ：Glass sand is used as the raw material for road reflective glass beads. After high temperature treatment, it forms a colorless and transparent powder. It can effectively improve the reflective properties of road coatings and improve the safety of driving at night. It can be said that glass beads have become an indispensable reflective material in road safety products.

Size of glass beads for blasting
In screen printing inks, paints, and coatings, the reflective effect needs to be involved, so many people apply glass beads to screen printing and inks, paints, and coatings. Glass beads can be used in both water-based and oil-based systems, that is, solvent-based systems.

Specification of Bead blasting glass
We produce reflective glass beads after high-temperature treatment. Our process is currently considered relatively advanced glass beads, which are extremely excellent in roundness, purity, transparency, uniformity and chemical stability.
This colorless and transparent The pure particles do not contain obvious bubbles and impurities. These spherical particles have very good fluidity and are extremely easy to construct and operate.

In many reflective products, glass beads are needed to achieve a reflective effect, such as reflective cloth, reflective paint, reflective film and other composite materials. Especially in some roads, ports, airports, mines, fire protection, traffic safety and other fields, our pots need to be used to feed pigs for warning and reflective effects.
Utilizing the high refractive index of glass beads, it has extremely strong retroreflective properties and can basically reflect 85% of the light back to its original location, which can improve driver safety when driving at night.
Glass beads are light and transparent in color and have a relatively small smell. They can be used as fillers. They have extremely high chemical stability, strong weather resistance, and extremely strong adhesion.
After pulverizing the glass composed of silica-calcium and other components, it is processed at high temperature to produce reflective glass beads with extremely strong reflective properties, which can have a reflective effect in some normal temperature or hot-melt marking paints.
It is a solid glass sphere with a relatively small diameter, very good roundness and hardness, and extremely wear-resistant. It is used in some plastics, rubber, shot blasting, rust removal, paint removal, stain removal, and reflective fields of some road coatings.
Comparatively large number of applications. When using it, it is recommended that you sprinkle glass beads on the premise that the paint is wet, so as to achieve a more ideal effect.
Our main packaging is 25 kilograms per bag, 50 pounds per bag, and also available in ton bags with reinforced pallets. Usually we can change the packaging form according to customer requirements.
When storing glass beads, they need to be placed in a cool place. Dry environment and avoid wet and humid environments to achieve long-term storage of glass beads.
We sincerely welcome you to inquire about our glass microbeads and apply them to your reflective materials.
