UltraLux® Glass Beads are high performance beads ranging in size from 600 mµm to 2000 mµm in diameter
- Weissker’s method of UltraLux® Glass Beads production out of virgin glass provides for the highest product quality.
- The special coating process complies with the highest requirements of the road marking industry.
- The great quality of the virgin glass beads provides an increased level of retro-reflectivity and road safety.
UltraLux® Glass Beads offer much higher levels of reflectivity when compared to the Lux® Glass Beads due to their larger size, higher rounds and special glass composition, particularly important for wet night conditions.
UltraLux® Glass Beads possess the superior adhesive properties to the various binding materials, and are widely used in different marking systems (water- and solvent based paints, two component systems, alkyd- and resin-based thermoplastics)
UltraLux® Glass Beads are one of the most cost-effective and long-lasting ways to increase highway safety.
