Type IIC Drop-On Glass Beads for Brazil
OMNI Type II-C Drop-On Glass Beads are high-performance reflective glass beads specially designed for road marking applications in Brazil. Applied onto the surface of freshly painted road markings, these transparent spherical glass beads enhance nighttime visibility by reflecting vehicle headlights toward drivers.
Manufactured from high-quality soda-lime glass, our Type II-C glass beads feature excellent roundness, uniform particle size distribution, and reliable optical performance. They are suitable for use with thermoplastic, water-based, and solvent-based road marking paints, helping improve road safety under various traffic and weather conditions.
Designed for the demands of Brazilian road infrastructure, OMNI Type II-C Drop-On Glass Beads provide reliable retroreflectivity for highways, urban roads, intersections, and other traffic marking projects.

Application in Brazil
OMNI Type II-C Drop-On Glass Beads are suitable for a variety of road marking applications in Brazil:
Highways & Expressways: Improve nighttime visibility on high-speed roads.
Urban Roads: Enhance lane marking visibility in cities and residential areas.
Pedestrian Crossings: Improve visibility of zebra crossings and pedestrian zones.
Intersections & Traffic Guidance: Support safer driving through clear reflective markings.
Parking Areas: Provide visible lane divisions and directional markings.
Drop-On Application Process
Drop-On glass beads are applied directly onto freshly applied road marking paint before it dries or hardens.
Apply road marking paint to the prepared road surface.
Immediately distribute Type II-C glass beads evenly onto the wet paint.
Allow the beads to partially embed in the marking material.
After curing, exposed bead surfaces provide retroreflective performance.
Recommended embedding depth: Approximately 50–60% of the bead diameter, subject to paint formulation and application conditions.
