When to choose Ultra-Lux
Increasing traffic, higher safety standards and extreme weather conditions all put pressure on road markings. Over time their visibility is compromised, risking public safety. Ultra-Lux’s exceptional retroreflectivity mitigates this risk.
Evolving client requirements
Traditionally, glass beads were made from recycled glass. While this process created beads with around 85% roundness, there was scope for refinement.
Weissker’s pioneering product
In the mid-1990s, Weissker developed a pioneering product which revolutionised the road marking industry: direct melt glass beads.
Direct melt technology
Our Ultra-Lux beads are manufactured from 100% direct melt glass which creates beads with 95% roundness, doubling existing retroreflective levels.
Recommended applications
With their exceptional durability and visibility, Ultra-Lux glass beads are one of the most cost-effective means of increasing road safety. Compatible with all standard road marking equipment for high-quality DropOn applications.
Range of Ultra-Lux Products
Ultra-Lux beads range in size from 425 to 2000 µm to offer extraordinary retroreflectivity and visibility and can be purchased with or without coating, depending on your specific requirements.
