"Anti-Water Glass Bead" can be defined in English as a type of glass bead that is specifically designed to resist the absorption or penetration of water. These beads are often used in various applications where water resistance is crucial, such as in automotive coatings, road markings, or any other surface treatment where durability and water-repellent properties are required. The anti-water property of these beads is achieved through their surface treatment or chemical composition, which makes them less susceptible to moisture penetration and ensures that they maintain their integrity and functionality even in wet conditions.

Improved road safety standards are driving the continued increase in demand for the use of waterproof glass beads in reflective markings at night and in rainy days.

The acceleration of urban smart transportation construction has led to technical updates and bulk purchases of high-performance marking materials (including waterproof glass beads).

Traditional glass beads are facing the risk of being eliminated, especially in humid or rainy areas. Waterproof glass beads have gained market favor with their better reflective retention.

The strengthening of environmental protection and sustainable concepts has led to a steady increase in the market penetration of low-heavy metal, recyclable, waterproof micro-bead materials.

The increase in infrastructure investment in Asia Pacific and the Middle East has become a key overseas market segment for the growth of waterproof glass beads.
