Glass microspheres is a new silicate materials, including solid and hollow two kinds. Usually of a particle size of 0.5 ~ 5mm glass beads called beading, hereinafter referred to 0.4mm diameter microbeads. Spherical beads, multi-component and soda-lime glass similar. It has many excellent properties.Solid glass beads forming method includes forming method (melt method) and the secondary molding (powder method). The hollow glass microspheres forming usually boron silicate sol spray drying a water beading technology.
Hollow glass beads having a light weight, low thermal conductivity, non-toxic, non-flammable, chemical stability, high dispersion, noise, high temperature resistance, electrical insulation and thermal stability, etc., can be applied in many areas of the material.
