Hollow Glass Microspheres. developed in recent years, are a new type of materials which shows a greater use and an outstanding performance. The product, made mainly from borosilicate, is a hollow microspheres whose grain size is 10-250 micron and wall-thickness 1-2 micron.

The products have many advantages substantial weight saving, low heat conductivity, high mechanical strength and fine chemical stability. With treated specially, they have the properties of lipophilicity and hydrophobicity and are very easily dispersed in organic materials such as resin. It is widely used in the composite materials such as FRP(fiber reinforced plastics),man-made marble and man-made agate.

They have the distinct results of decreasing weight, sound insulation and heat preservation, thus the products have the excellent performances of anti-crazing and re-processing. They are widely to be used in a range of fields such as aviation, space, new bullet train, luxurious yacht, heat insulating dope, bowling balls and play a unique role.

The color is  pure white and the appearance of calcium carbonate, which can be widely applied to any pair of color appearance requirements of the product.The proportion of light volume. After filling the product greatly reduce weight, reduce the main raw material of resin consumption, reduce the cost become possible.

Filling process is simple. Hollow glass microspheres because of their own reasons, some models should be treated by coupling agent can be directly and the main ingredients (for thermosetting resin ) or in the form of filling masterbatch ( applicable to thermoplastic resin ) relatively more trouble. Filled with hollow glass microspheres products and the use of foaming agent products have the same effect; and the various physical and mechanical properties and better to die, no special requirements.

Glass microsphere is a new ultra light filling material of hollow closed spherical.As the particle diameter, wall thickness of the true density at 0.12 ~ 0.60g /cm3, particle diameter in 15 ~ 135um ( including a variety of specifications ). With a light weight of large volume, low thermal conductivity, dispersibility, fluidity, good in stability. In addition, glass microspheres also has insulating, self-lubricating, heat insulation,water, corrosion resistant, radiation resistant, nontoxic and excellent performance.

This product of glass microspheres can be filled in the vast majority of thermosets, thermoplastic resin product, can be improved or determined material are several properties: density ( lower), liquidity, viscosity, rheological properties ( lower ) ( thickening, not tears ),matte effect, shrinkage ( lower ), mechanical processing ( improve ), impact strength,hardness, insulation, explosive performance, acoustic properties, thermal insulation properties..

Microsphere is a term used for small spherical particles with diameters of the Order of the micrometer (typically 1 pm to 1000 pm (1mm)). The microspheres are sometimes called microparticles.

 

microspheres can be manufactured from various natural and synthetic materials. Glass microspheres, polymer microspheres and ceramic microspheres are commercially available. Solid and hollow microspheres vary greatly in density and, therefore, are used for different applications. The hollow microspheres are commonly used as additives to reduce the density dun material. Solid microspheres have numerous applications depending on what material they are constructed and what size they are.

 

Polyethylene and polystyrene microspheres

are two most common types of polymer microspheres.

Polystyrene microspheres

are commonly used in biomedical applications because of their ability to facilitate processes such as cell sorting and precipitation immunio. Proteins and ligands on polystyrene absorb easily and permanently, which makes polystyrene microspheres suitable for medical research and biological laboratory experiments.

Polyethylene

microspheres are commonly used as permanent or temporary care. Lower melting temperature polyethylene microspheres allows to create structures and porous ceramic materials dautres. High sphericity of polyethylene microspheres, as well as the availability of color and fluorescent microspheres, makes them highly desirable for the visualization and the analysis of the flow of fluid flow, microscopy techniques, health sciences, troubleshooting processes and applications Much research. Polyethylene loaded microspheres are also used in digital electronic paper displays.

Glass microspheres are mainly used as a filler and volumizer for weight reduction, road safety reflector, additives for cosmetics and adhesives, with limited applications in medical technology.

Ceramic microspheres are mainly used as the grinding medium.

 

microspheres vary considerably in quality, sphericity, luniformité size and particle size distribution. The microsphere must be selected for each application.

We believe that the microspheres are Mon least understood commercial products. Most people associate microspheres with their use as filler in plastics and composite materials (hollow glass microspheres). This nest quune many applications.

 

THE USE seconds less microspheres is included in cosmetics and personal care industrys. Ceramic microspheres and polyethylene are used in cosmetics to create a soft and silky texture, and to provide a filler for reducing wrinkles on the skin. The personal care industry use polyethylene microspheres exfoliating agents in shampoos and shower gels (colored objects in suspension).

 

Spheres of barium titanate glass with IR than 1.9

barium titanate glass microspheres are excellent to be used as a functional additive for reflective paints and coatings. Spheres with sizes of approx 50 microns (~ 0.002 inch) average diameter to provide a sufficiently small size for most of the coatings while providing a size large enough for a large amount of light reflectance. Glass spheres, barium titanate are offered partially coated aluminum retroreflective version uploading in transparent coatings, and uncoated spherical glass powder for use in colored paints.
