Glass micro beads
Reflective glass beads (retroflective glass beads) are made of glass sand, after melting temperature the formation of a tiny glass beads, was obersved under the micronscope spherical, colourless, transparent, refrative indes of 1.5-1.64 between the diameter is generally between 75 microns to 1400 microns. Currently in the domestic production of major road relective glass beads craft flame floadting method.
Relective glass beads for road, mainly used in normal temperature, hot melt road marking paint, a method for premixed material can ensure marking period in the life of the long term reflective;one kind of construction in the marking surface speading, can play an instant reflection effect.
Appearance: colourless transparent sphere, rounded and smooth, no obvious bubbles or impurities.
Circularity: roundness rate:>80%
Density: 2.4-2.6g/cm3
Refractive index: Nd>1.5
Composition: soda-lime glass composition
SiO2:>70%
