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..

Microspheres come in many different grades and sizes and are usually solid particles that are composed of polymers, glass and ceramics. All images are courtesy of COSPHERIC

LLC Microspheres are round microparticles that typically range from 1 to 1000 microns in diameter. In the pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics, microspheres are well known for their ability to deliver active ingredients. This process usually involves the microencapsulation dun dun drug or cosmetic active ingredient to protect against the effects of the deterioration of the environment or the release and performance in the final product. The active ingredients are released by dissolution of the capsule walls, mechanical rupture (rubbing, pressure or impact), the merger or the process of digestion. Solid microspheres are widely used as fillers and spacers in a variety dindustries. Continue reading ‘Microspheres for use with medical devices’ »

hollow glass microsphere

The man-made wood filled with hollow glass microspheres can provide excellent quality assurance for parts of furniture, ornaments and sculptures. In the original formula, the product density can be adjusted by adding different percentage of hollow glass microspheres.

  • The oil absorption rate of hollow glass microspheres is much less than that of other common fillers like calcium carbonate, so the viscosity is significantly lower also.
  • Compared with traditional mineral additives, hollow glass microspheres have a better mobility, which are suitable for the manufacture of large area, thin wood board. The wood materials with addition of hollow glass microspheres are more easily nailed. It can avoid the phenomenon of cracking existing in the traditional formula of artificial wood in general after nailing.

Hollow glass microspheres mixture:

The filling content of hollow glass MICROSPHERES generally is between 5% -20%. It can be easily mixed with resin, and is proposed to be added at the final stages of mixing with a slower mixing speed. If the high-pressure pump required, it should be determined that whether the strength of hollow glass microspheres can meet the requirement in advance.

Note: The mixture method of hollow glass microspheres is also important, we strongly recommend that the mixing speed of adding hollow glass microspheres should be less than 100 r / min.
