One of Retro’s main products are reflective glass beads for road marking, industrial glass beads for shot blasting and abrasives, glass beads as a filler, and color glass beads for decoration. Reflective glass beads for road marking are one of the most popular products.
One of the main uses of glass beads is to use in combination with “road marking” to increase night vision power. Reflective glass beads can improve the retro-reflection property of the road marking line. To ensure the safety of the roads, road marking should be visible even at night. In the hours when the air is clear, the road marking is visible due to the contrast of the marking color (white or yellow) with road darkness, but at night the factor that causes the marking to be seen is the presence of glass beads so without these beads at night, it’s almost invisible.
These micro-spherical particles act like small mirrors, they are used in all types of traffic paints such as “cold paint” and “thermoplastic road marking” as the drop on glass beads and as premix glass beads (Intermix glass beads).
In addition to helping the driver’s vision during the day and night in different weather conditions, these products help to withstand the wear, durability, and longevity of various types of traffic paints.
In production, raw material is clean and clear scrap glass, size about 10 to 100mm; after crushing, initial sieving, and furnace heating, it forms as rounded beads; after sieving, mixing, demagnetizing, and coating process, final product is glass beads.
Some application of glass beads are as follows:
Retro Raw Materials has exported annually 45,000 MT glass beads to Europe, South America, India subcontinent, Africa, and GCC countries.
