Product Introduction
Glass Beads are spherical, high-quality beads made from soda-lime glass (SiO₂, Na₂O, CaO). Typically transparent or clear, they come in various sizes, from microbeads (under 0.1mm) to larger beads (up to 2mm). With a hardness of 5.5–6 on the Mohs scale, Glass Beads are durable yet gentle, making them ideal for applications such as reflective road markings, sandblasting, cosmetics, and polishing. They are available in different grades and are commonly packaged in 25kg/50kg sacks, bulk bags, or drums. Their smooth finish and reflective properties enhance visibility and surface treatment efficiency.
Main Products Type
Microbeads
Tiny beads (under 0.1mm) used for precision polishing, cosmetics, and fine reflective coatings.
Standard Beads
Medium-sized beads for sandblasting, surface cleaning, and industrial applications.
Macrobeads
Larger beads (up to 2mm) used in road markings, reflective signage, and heavy-duty blasting.
