Throughout the world, roads are much safer today due to the use of small, spherically shaped glass beads which are added to the freshly striped highway lines as they are applied. Only with glass beads the stripping become visible at night. This phenomenon is called retro-reflection. SWARCO has been manufacturing highly retro-reflective glass beads for almost 30 years now. ISO 9001:2000-certified production processes and pure raw materials ensure that SWARCO glass micro-spheres are very consistent with regard to their chemical and physical properties.
