SWARCO Glass Beads Utah Blend T-13 Coated

SWARCO Utah Blend T-13 Coated Glass Beads are premium reflective beads made to boost nighttime visibility and marking durability. They meet or exceed AASHTO M247 Type I specs, ensuring reliable performance in state-approved pavement marking systems. These coated beads work well in both drop-on and intermix applications for roads, highways, and municipal projects.

Because of their precise size blend, they offer strong adhesion and consistent flow during application. In addition, the durable coating helps the beads stay embedded in the paint, improving long-term reflectivity.
This makes them ideal for contractors handling DOT work or public road striping with strict quality standards.

Furthermore, they perform reliably in changing weather, helping maintain safety in wet or low-light conditions.
You can now buy them in bulk, with special pricing available by pallet or full truckload for maximum value.
Whether you're tackling a large highway project or a local repaint, these beads deliver visibility you can trust.
