Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating agglomerated retroreflective glass media consisting of larger central globular glass members, each having a plurality of smaller globular glass members connected to the central member, for highway marking, comprising: a. assembling a supply of largely spherical essentially clear larger globular glass members; b. adding silane and water to the supply of larger members; c. blending the silane, water and larger members into a mixture; d. blending resin and accelerator into the mixture; e. blending pigment into the mixture; f. blending a crosslinker-blend into the mixture; g. blending the smaller glass members into the mixture until the larger globular glass members are substantially covered by the smaller members and the smaller members are secured to the larger members by a layer comprising the first silane, the resin and accelerator, the pigment, the crosslinker-blend; and h. blending an anti-wicking agent into the mixture.
