 GLASS GLOBULES

The history of glass globules, which are used in highway marking and creation of phosphorescence, is quite recent all over the world. Parallel to the increased importance of glass globules, which are globally produced under the title, reflection, along with a higher level of priority accorded to the value of human life, their production and prevalence steadily increase for use largely in traffic.

 

 

Glass globules, which are used by mixing them with almost any types of paint, may be produced in various sizes and types depending on different intentions of use. Glass globules used in conjunction with paints increase sight and attention thanks to the light reflection at night or at short sight.
