Potters Industries
Reflective glass beads for pavement marking
Potters Industries has been a leader in engineered glass-bead products for over 100 years. Their drop-on and intermix micro glass beads — including the high-performance 1.9 index beads for brighter markings and larger gradations engineered for wet-weather visibility — are the optical element that gives painted, thermoplastic, and epoxy pavement markings their nighttime retro-reflectivity, keeping lane lines visible to drivers in low light and rain.
