Polymer Additives
■Hollow Glass Spheres
We offer a variety of hollow glass beads that can be given functions such as weight reduction and heat insulation.
Features
-
The specific gravity of the product itself is low, and when filled with resin, it is 20 to 30% lighter than solid balls.
-
It has excellent fluidity, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance.
-
It is possible to add functions such as heat insulation, heat retention, sound insulation, and soundproofing.
Main use
-
Filling in various resins: Weight reduction, improvement of whiteness, improvement of dimensional stability, improvement of warpage
-
Filling in various paints: Heat insulation, heat insulation, heat retention, sound insulation
