The road markings, which can be easily noticed at day time, owe their night visibility to the glass beads. At night time, even in wet conditions, glass beads make the horizontal markings visible by retro-reflection principle through its round shape and glass structure. By this way, road markings make the drivers obey traffic rules and provide them a more careful trip.

The incorporation of reinforcing fillers makes possible to improve the mechanical properties of technical polymers while at the same time reducing their production costs.

The engineering, electronic, nuclear and motor industries demand perfect mastery of the operations for treatment by impact. The finishing or routine cleaning of the surfaces calls for the use of a high performance, non aggressive treatment agent which will not constitute any risk for the user.

On industrial sites, the fire risks are very varied and call for the use of different extinguishing products. To use glass beads are an effective way to combat hydrocarbon fires, fuel fires, gas fires or metal fires, all with just one product.
