Crown reflective glass beads are designed to enhance the visibility of road markings by creating a retroreflective effect. When applied to thermoplastic or water-based traffic paint, these small, round beads reflect light from vehicle headlights, improving nighttime visibility.
The retroreflective effect on street markings is achieved when light hits the embedded glass beads and bounces back toward the light source, making the markings appear illuminated at night. The beads are applied immediately after the thermoplastic or paint is laid down, either by hand or with a specialized sprayer. Some beads settle into the material while others remain on the surface, creating an optimal reflective surface that enhances visibility.
These reflective glass beads are sold in 50-pound bags and are suitable for use on roads, parking lots, and private properties. They are commonly used with thermoplastic and water-based traffic paints to meet standard visibility requirements. The beads from Crown can be used in the District of Columbia and in non-state or non-federal projects, making them ideal for municipal roads, county streets, and other general striping applications.
These beads provide a cost-effective solution for contractors and municipalities that need high-quality reflectivity without additional compliance requirements.
