Application of Hollow Glass Microspheres in Plastics

High-performance hollow glass bead is a kind of ultra-lightweight inorganic non-metallic powder with hollow microsphere, and it is a versatile and high-performance new lightweight material developed in recent years. It will be the new composite mainstream materials at twenty-first century. Its true density is 0.20-0.60g/cm3 with 2-120μm in diameter. It owns features with light weight, large bulky, low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, smoothly mobility. It can be used in cementing slurry, paint and coatings, rubber, plastics, glass, steel, artificial stone, putty and other products as filler and weight-reducing agent. It can also be the excellent sensitizer for emulsion explosives; Because of its high compressive properties, it can be used to produce high-strength low-density cement slurry and low-density drilling fluid in oil and gas extraction industry.
