Tiger Eye, Siglite- (360 degree slip-proof and ultra-low glass road marking reflector) (New Product)
•Enhance the reflection of road marking lines during the raining night since the tiny glass beads in the thermoplastic are non-reflective in the rainy water.
•Guiding traffic in the freeways or winding curves at night in addition to the road marking lines, and providing safer visual environment. The tiny glass beads in the thermoplastic fall off easily; thus the reflection of road marking lines declines extensively. The bumping action will alert motorists when they change lanes.
•How to differentiate a good glass road marker?
-Compressive strength: The compressive strength must reach above 25 tons.
Test method:First, to install the specimen on the tester base with a piece of newspaper folded into five. Then, to coincide both the center of the steel bar(min. diameter 25mm, min. thickness 10mm) and the convex part of the specimen. To avoid the vibration during the testing process, so increase loading slowly, the rate of loading increase is maintain 49~68.6kn/min (5,000~7,000kgf/min). At last, the loading increase to 245.0kN (25,000kgf).
Product evaluation: The minimum loading criterion is 245.0kN (25,000kgf)
-Ball-Impact test: Place sample in middle of cushion, which is 3mm*150mm*150mm, or 150mm in diameter and 50 IRHD in hardness. Place the steel ball (Rolling Ball), 63.5mm in diameter (1040g) higher than the sample for 150cm. Release the ball to impact the hemispheric part of sample. Check the condition of damage. (Use methyl benzene to wipe and clean before test). After the impact, there must not be any damage or visible crack on the glass material.
-Furnace test: Put the glass marker into furnace at 500 centigrade for 3 minutes and then take out for observation, the reflective film or protecting layer at base is not burnt, the color is not changed and the glass shows no abnormal situation. Most products that cannot pass this test are imitations with dye or paint at bottom, where the color normally starts to fade after half a year on the road surface and losses reflecting ability. The bottom reflector shall be coat by aluminum thermal spray process. The bottom will be thicker and more durable; the lifetime can be more than 10 years. The China products use the electroplating process on the surface of the bottom part. The process is electroplating a slight aluminum layer first, than coat a layer made of paint and sand on the surface. It will be look like coat by aluminum thermal spray process, but the aluminum reflector of the electroplate product will start to fade after half or one year on the highway system.

- High strength and long durability.
- The protruding part is 100% reflective.
- Smooth surface and not easy to accumulate dust, which needs no cleaning and maintenance
- Fully automatic production with machinery.
- The lifetime is 15 times longer than traditional plastic pavement marker.
- Construction Method for Tiger Eye:
- 1. Provide well safety warning facilities.
- 2. Use the drilling machine to make a hole with diameter of 100mm and depth of 25mm (mark on the drilling machine or add a ring slot on the drilling bit to ensure certain depth of the hole drilled).
- 3. Use the bush tool to remove asphalt from middle of the hole (in case of cement road surface, use jack hammer to crush the cement)
- 4. Blow away the sandy soil and water in the hole with high pressure air (or absorb water with sponge).
- 5. Use mold with fixed height to test if the depth of hole is suitable or not (otherwise modification must be made).
- 6. Place asphalt glue or epoxy resin into the hole (The asphalt glue is fast hardening and fast to work with; it influences traffic less with low cost, which is suitable for highway, large traffic flow or large amount of continuous installation. For loose works with less quantity, epoxy resin is used).
- 7. Place Tiger Eye into the hole and rotate for about 30°; finally, lightly knock the top of Tiger Eye with rubber hammer for smoothness and complete fixture.
