    AI Overview
    Power PU (Polyurethane) beads are high-performance, crosslinked polymer particles used as functional additives in paints and coatings to control texture, appearance, and durability. They are particularly valued for creating matte finishes, soft-touch haptic effects, and improving scratch resistance in automotive, wood, and architectural coatings. 
    Key Aspects of PU Beads for Paints: 
    • Functionality: They serve as matting agents, reducing gloss without reducing coating durability.
    • Haptic & Visual Effects: They can alter surface feel from velvety smooth to rubbery, and provide a "true wood" look for coatings.
    • Performance Enhancement: They increase abrasion, burnish, and scratch resistance in paints.
    • Properties: These beads are often 100% solid, free-flowing, and VOC-free powders. They are available in different sizes, from 3 μm up to 60 μm, allowing for customized surface textures.
    • Varieties: Specialized versions exist, such as pigmented polyurethane beads (e.g., in black, white, red, blue, yellow) for special color effects and multi-color, 3D effects.
    • Application: They are used in waterborne, solvent-borne, and UV-curable coating systems. 
    Comparison with Other Bead Types: 
    • PU Beads (e.g., Decosphaera®): Used for soft-touch feel, durability, and mattification.
    • Acrylic Beads (e.g., Spheromers®): Used for intense matte effects, high scratch resistance, and producing a paper-like, smooth texture.
    • Glass Beads: Primarily used for reflectivity (highway markings) and grinding media (paint production). 
    Key Products/Brands: 
    • Decosphaera®: Waterborne polyurethane beads used for matting and soft feel.
    • Spheromers®: Acrylic polymer beads.
    • iSuoChem® PU Beads: Finely divided particles for specialized paint applications. 
    These beads are essential in achieving high-value, durable finishes, especially when a non-reflective, tactile surface is desired.

    How to use glass beads in paint?
    You can apply the beads manually by simply sprinkling the beads over the fresh paint. It is important to note that the paint needs to be wet for the beads to stick. Ratio of Reflective Glass beads to Paint: You can figure to use approximately 5 to 6 pounds of glass beads, for every 1 gallon of paint used.
