Product Introduction

The Future Delivered by Glass Beads

'UNIBEADS' are tiny glass beads, ranging in size from a few microns to a few millimeters. At UNITIKA GLASS BEADS CO.,LTD.,
we discuss the future of UNIBEADS.

UNIBEADS shine brightly and offer numerous functions in various aspects of life, primarily in road markings and traffic signs.
We are committed to continually responding to customer needs in a timely manner and challenging ourselves to reach higher levels.
Furthermore, we consider environmental issues and actively engage in recycling through our business.

By valuing such efforts, we aspire to illuminate 21st-century people's lives.

Bring that brilliance to various scenes

UNIBEADS utilize the effect of light reflection and is used for centerlines and crosswalks.
Moreover, by taking advantage of its true spherical properties, it is used as a soft, abrasive material for beautiful surface finishing of home appliances and for precision processing of printed circuit boards, hypodermic needles, and various industrial parts.
Furthermore, it exhibits functionality as a crushing and dispersing material for paints and pigments and as a reinforcing material for plastics.
Furthermore, by harnessing its physical and chemical properties, it has great potential in various fields.

For Road-Marking Paint

They are used in various road markings to enhance nighttime visibility and contribute to road safety.

For High-Grade Road-Marking Paint

They maintain road marking visibility, particularly during rainy nights, that is nearly equivalent to clear weather conditions.

For Reflective Cloth

It is suitable for open-type retroreflective materials and is used in safety vests, sportswear, shoes, and more.

For Reflective Sheets

It is suitable for closed-type retroreflective materials and is used in traffic signs, car license plates, and more.

For Blasting

It does not overly grind the processing surface, thus forming a unique matte finish product. It is also used in various cleaning and shot peening processes.

For Grinding and Dispersion

Owing to its wide range of particle sizes, it allows for diverse grinding and dispersion options and has applications in various industries. Low-alkali glass types exhibit excellent wear resistance and extremely low alkali leaching.

For Plastic Filler

Its spherical shape exhibits excellent fillability and flowability. Being isotropic, it does not introduce anisotropy into the molded products' properties. Additionally, it contributes to reducing warping in molded items. Furthermore, it possesses transparency, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties.

High-Precision UNIBEADS

It has an extremely sharp particle-size distribution and is used in various spacers. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring heat resistance, load-bearing capacity, and electrical insulation properties.

Spheroidization Contracting Business

We performed spheroidization of various types of glass. However, please not all glass types can be spheroidized; please inquire first.
