Using glass beads for filter pack in water wells is becoming increasingly more accepted since their introduction to the industry in 2007, and for this reason Paparelli has decided to include them in its catalog.

Glass beads have been used for at least 100 years, with solid glass beads being manufactured in New York as far back as 1914. Since that time, many industries started to rely on solid and hollow glass beads as a major component in their products and processes.

Paparelli chose to do so, offering to its customers glass beads as a method for filter pack in water wells, finding advantages both in terms of performance both economically, for those who have used glass beads.

Glass beads found applications in many industries and thousands of applications including aerospace and military materials, retroreflective highway signs, paints and coatings, personal care, cosmetics and consumer products, amongst others.

In recent years, glass beads have recorded excellent growth, so Paparelli decided to present them as a new method for filter pack in water wells in place of normal spiral screens.

The company assumes that the use of these glass beads will increase over the years, therefore recommended its use to its customers.
