Microspheres - Description
These materials are high-strength, low-density hollow glass microspheres made from soda-lime borosilicate glass. They are nonporous, chemically stable and provide excellent water and oil resistance. Strong enough to survive processing, they can be incorporated into a wide range of polymers for density reduction. And their benefits go far beyond light-weighting: the inherent properties of these microspheres provide a number of unique performance and processing advantages. This includes:
- Weight reduction
- Dimensional stability
- Thermal insulation
- Reduced resin demand
- Cycle time reduction
- Solar reflectivity
- Low dielectric constant
