Glass Beads have high longevity due to their size. As the road marking paint
wears over time due to friction from tires and weathers, the premix glass beads
that are embedded into the paint are exposed which ensures retro-reflectivity.
This helps to increase the longevity of the paint as well as the safety of
motorists. Glass beads are widely used in traffic paint to enhance road safety
by improving the visibility of road markings, especially at night or in poor
weather conditions.

Improved Safety: Better visibility of road markings helps prevent accidents,
especially in low-light conditions.

Durability:
Wear Resistance: Glass beads add durability to road markings, making them more
resistant to wear and tear from traffic and weather.
Longevity: Road markings with glass beads tend to last longer, reducing the
frequency of reapplication and maintenance.

Cost-Effectiveness:
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Longer-lasting road markings lead to lower
maintenance costs over time.
