Applications
SiLibeads® reflective beads for road marking
Our SiLibeads® glass beads have been used for over 40 years as reflective beads for road markings to ensure improved visibility in poor lighting conditions.
SiLibeads® reflective beads play a central role in road marking by serving as a retro-reflective medium. The headlight beams of vehicles are reflected within the glass beads and returned to the driver. This ensures excellent visibility of the road markings, even in darkness or poor weather conditions. SiLibeads® Type II reflective beads demonstrate their strength particularly on wet roads when a film of water covers the markings, ensuring that the markings remain clearly visible even under difficult conditions.
