Glass beads meeting British Standard BS 6088 are manufactured for use in thermoplastic road markings. The beads are round, clean, and transparent, with over 70% being spherical and having a refractive index greater than 1.5. Sieve analysis shows the bead sizes retained on various sieves, with 65-95% retained between 850-425 micrometers in size. Physical properties including appearance, refractive index, specific gravity, and waterproof coating are specified.
