Part #/SKU: N/A

Description

Glass beads significantly enhance the visibility and longevity of road markings and airfields. When incorporated into traffic paint, they improve airfield runway and taxiway markings by increasing visibility, especially at night and in low-light conditions.

For heavy-duty marking tasks, high-index airport glass beads are essential for enhancing the visibility of various airfield markings. These include aiming point markings, centerlines, designation markings, and edge lines, as well as fixed distance markers and geographical position markings. Additionally, they are crucial for making hold bars, non-movement boundary markings, surface-painted signs, threshold markings, and touchdown zone markings stand out clearly on the airfield.

Note: This information specifically refers to Type 3, airport-quality glass beads. Consult our product catalog for our full selection of glass beads. Check local ordinances and regulations regarding pavement marking materials. 

Safety Precautions: Wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator when handling glass beads. Avoid inhaling dust. If experiencing respiratory irritation, leave the area immediately.
