Premix and Intermix Spheres As the striping material wears, the glass spheres that are blended in the material are exposed to givecontinuous retro-reflectivity, increasing the life of the material.In thickly-applied materials, such as thermoplastic or MMA, the blended spheres are referred to as"intermix" beads. The size of the intermix beads in these materials is usually similar to the size of thedrop-on highway safety marking spheres.In thin film paint materials, the blended spheres are referred to as "premix" beads. Premix beads aretypically smaller than drop-on paint highway safety marking spheres.Both intermix and premix give continuous retro-reflectivity on pavement markings that wear andlose the reflective top dressing of highway safety marking spheres.

SPHERIWHITE®Colour Enhancing Microspheres Spheriwhite® has been developed for a range of markets where colour is important. These include “white-goods” in household appliances, leisure and medical equipment, and for the paints and coatings industry. It is a result of several years of research and testing, using the expertise of the engineers at the EGM Technical Centre. A specific process has been researched, developed, and now patented.Spheriwhite® Solid Glass Microspheres controls the whiteness of a polymer in its final product where there is no pigment, and enhances the colour where there is a pigment present. Spheriwhite® is also cost-effective: it can be used in conjunction with expensive alternate pigment whiteners that are currently used to enhance colour or to whiten, therefore cutting manufacturing costs as well as improving overall appearance.
