Highway Marking SpheresA GROWING ROLE IN ENSURING HIGHWAY SAFETY With more drivers traveling on more roads, the need to promote safety - especially at night and during poor weather conditions - has been a continuing concern. In response, Potters Industries has developed both materials and technology to improve visibility while enhancing driver safety.Embedding glass beads into highway safety markings creates reflective lines that shine through darkness, rain, and fog to direct drivers more safely along the road. Customers who rely on our VISIBEAD® family of products - VISIBEAD, VISIBEAD PLUS II, VISIMAX, VISILOK, ULTRA 1.9, & ULTRAGUARD - include highway safety authorities, pavement marking material producers, and road marking companies.At the same time, we work with governments around the world to address improvements in highway safety. With our ongoing research into retroreflectivity coupled with our industry leading Technical Service team, our leadership and innovation have set the standards for reflective highway markings.Worldwide acceptance of these safety standards has resulted in global demand for reflective marking materials. Currently, more than two-thirds of our annual worldwide production - the single largest use of our products worldwide - is used for highway delineation and guidance systems.CONTINUING TO EXPAND IN A CHANGING WORLDAs greatly as Potters has grown over the years, we realize that a universe of possibilities remains to be explored. We welcome your inquiries about our current products and about pursuing new opportunities and applications. Custom ProductsCan't find what you're looking for?

Zeolites Zeolites are widely used as catalysts in the refining of crude oil into finished petroleum products. Zeolites can be uniquely tailored to specific applications. Zeolites are also increasingly finding use in the production of petrochemicals, often replacing environmentally unfriendly catalysts. Unlike more hazardous acid catalysts that have been used in the past, zeolites are non-hazardous, regenerable, and non-corrosive. PQ Corporation has been actively involved in development and production of zeolite products for more than 25 years. We continue to strengthen our reputation for quality by producing zeolites that meet our customers’ requirements and by providing services that fulfill their expectations.

Anti-Blocking SilicasWorld class additives for the polymer film industry giving advanced solutions for high clarity film Incorporation of small quantities of a Gasil® anti-blocking silica into a film formulation creates micro-roughness at the surface of the film. This reduces or eliminates blocking without compromising the balance of physical and optical properties of the film.High clarity and thin polyolefin, polyester and polyamide films are inherently prone to blocking – the tendency of opposite film faces to adhere to each other – and is most prevalent during film winding operations. Unless remedied, blocking causes severe handling problems during film fabrication and final conversion applications.Gasil® anti-blocking silica products are ideally suited for use in high clarity and thin film applications and the technical experts at PQ can assist with the selection of the optimal Gasil® product.
