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.

  • Product Category: Abrasive & Material
  • Key Features:
  • Low Density: The hollow structure of these microspheres results in a very low density, which helps reduce the overall weight of the composite materials they are used in.
  • High Strength: Despite their low density, hollow glass microspheres are strong and resilient, providing durability and structural integrity.
  • Thermal Insulation: Offers excellent thermal insulation properties, making them suitable for applications requiring temperature control.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most chemicals, including acids and alkalis, ensuring stability and durability in various environments.
  • Low Moisture Absorption: The hollow glass structure minimizes moisture absorption, maintaining performance and preventing degradation.
Applications:

Composite Materials: Used as fillers in composite materials to reduce weight and improve mechanical properties, including in aerospace, automotive, and marine applications.

Thermal Insulation: Applied in insulation products, such as paints and coatings, to enhance thermal insulation and energy efficiency.

Paints and Coatings: Incorporated into paints and coatings to improve texture, reduce density, and enhance performance.

Oil and Gas Industry: Used in cementing and other applications in the oil and gas industry to improve performance and reduce weight.

Medical and Scientific Applications: Utilized in various medical and scientific applications where low density and high strength are required.
