Product Introduction

UNIBEADS for Road-Marking Paint

Features

  • UNIBEADS are applied to various types of road marking paints.
  • They feature a unique optical mechanism known as retroreflective effect, which returns light toward its source. (See Retroreflective Effect of Glass Beads for details.)
  • Light from vehicle headlights is reflected back to drivers through the beads, improving the visibility of road lines and contributing to safer nighttime driving.
  • Made from recycled glass, UNIBEADS are a sustainable solution for road safety.
  • We also handle products that comply with BS standards.

Retroreflective Effect of Glass Beads

figure

Light from vehicles incident on glass beads exposed on road markings.
The incident light is refracted on the glass beads' surface, reflected toward the interface with the paint on the back side, and returned to the driver's eyes.

With this function, the road markings appear shiny, and the driver can see the road markings even at night.
