Glass Beads are high quality glass micro spheres resulting from the specialized processing of selected flat glass cullet.

Glass Beads are a major factor in increasing road safety in a very economical way. Thanks to the beads’ retro reflective action at night, a vehicle’s headlight beam is returned to the driver’s eye, which results in a “light-up” effect of the striping. The micro spheres not only multiply the visibility of road markings at night, but also increase the striping’s durability in general. Swarcoflex glass beads are used as DROP-ON agent and as PREMIX beads for road marking materials.
