Hollow Glass Microspheres
Low-Density Performance Additive
- Resin Extension in polymers translates to cost savings
- Increased solids, reduced VOC’s
- Emulsion Explosives Sensitizer
- Improved mold/flow in thermoset applications
- Improved thermal cycling properties in coatings/composite from insulation factor
- Higher solid loading without viscosity increases
- Acrylic Patching/filling compounds
- Markets/Applications include construction, automotive, composites, coatings, oil well cement
- Fewer defects: excellent mold flow, uniform dispersion
- Reduced compound density and viscosity
- Increased acoustic and thermal insulation
- Reduced cost and better handling in flexible compounds
- More uniform, closed-cell structure in syntactic compounds
- Cost reduction from sandpaper and labor savings for putties
Weight-Reducing, High-Strength Additive
- Reduce weight in engineered plastics (grades available in 0.25 g/cc to 1.1 g/cc)
- Increase durability (grades available up to 10,000 psi crush strength)
- Increase abrasion and burnish resistance
- Reduce VOC content without compromising viscosity and flow
- Improve film integrity without changing the finish
- Provides insulation and floatation effect
- Easy to disperse into formulations
