Hollow Glass Microspher - Product
Hollow Glass Microspher
Hollow Glass Microspheres are tiny spherical particles made from a specialized glass that is lightweight, durable, and hollow. These microspheres are manufactured through a high-temperature fusion process, which creates a thin, hollow glass shell. They are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and scientific applications due to their unique properties, including low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, and thermal insulation capabilities.
