KANSAS RAW MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF REFLECTIVE GLASS BEADS

CHEYENNE SANDSTONE FROM COMANCHE COUNTY, DUNE SAND FROM NEAR LIBERAL, KANSAS, AND CALICHE OR CHALK FROM THE FORT HAYS LIMESTONE MEMBER OF THE NIOBRARA CHALK WERE USED IN GLASS COMPOSITIONS TO MAKE REFLECTIVE GLASS BEADS. BOTH SOURCES OF SAND WERE ACID-LEACHED TO REDUCE THEIR IRON CONTENT. INDEX OF REFRACTION AND LIGHT REFLECTIVITY OF THE EXPERIMENTAL GLASS BEADS PRODUCED WERE OF THE SAME VALUE AS THOSE OF CURRENTLY MANUFACTURE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS. /AUTHOR/
