THE RELATION BETWEEN BEAD SIZE, BEAD EMBEDMENT, AND BINDER FILM THICKNESS

THE EFFECTIVENESS AND DURABILITY OF HIGHWAY SIGNS REFLECTORIZED WITH GLASS BEADS DEPEND TO A GREAT EXTENT UPON THE PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED. THE CORRECT DEPTH OF EMBEDMENT OF THE BEDS IN THE BINDER IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN IMPROVING QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF BEADED SIGNS. THE IDEAL DEPTH OF EMBEDMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 50 PERCENT OF THE BEAD DIAMETER. /AUTHOR/
