Excellence in Glass Beads Products

Depending on your specific needs, your product applications as well as your manufacturing and processing situation, Bolten provides glass beads products in order to improve the performance of your products.

Bolten’s micro glass beads are inert and free of traces of free silica. The glass spheres are white, transparent and reach a high percentage of roundness.

ROAD MARKING

Bolten’s Road marking glass beads are used to guide road users in the dark due to the presence of glass beads on its surface reflecting the lights of cars, motorcycles and bicycles. The glass spheres (retro)reflect the headlights of the vehicle to the driver, acting like a mirror.

ENGINEERING PLASTICS

Bolten's glass beads are widely used as a technical additive filler in various plastic components for applications such as automotive and domestic appliances, E&E products and other industries in order to improve surface aspect properties (aesthetic, scratch and abrasion resistance, dimensional stability) and its processing (faster extrusion and injection cycle time, less reject rates).

Bolten developed a new solid glass bead range, It can be used in coating applications requiring ultrafine glass beads. Our glass beads are used in paints and coatings improving scratch, abrasion resistance, washability and enhancing the surface aspect properties in topcoats and sealers. Thanks to their shape and ball bearing effect, the glass beads improve the fluidity and the ease of application in various applications (epoxy flooring, polyester coating, SMC/BMC).

SURFACE FINISHING

Aimed at various industrial applications, the Sandblast beads are widely used in the surface finishing of various ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Glass bead blasting and peening prevent corrosion and enhances product performance while introducing compressive residual stresses at the surface.
