What are glass microspheres?
The real density of the glass microsphere is between 0.12~0.60g/cm3, and the particle size is between 15 and 135 um. It has the advantages of lightweight and large volume, low thermal conductivity, dispersion, fluidity, and good stability. In addition, it also has insulation, self-lubrication, sound insulation, non-water absorption, corrosion resistance, radiation prevention, non-toxic and other excellent properties. Glass microsphere can be filled in most types of thermosetting, thermoplastic resin products, can improve or determine the following properties of the material: density (reduce), fluidity, viscosity (reduce), rheological properties (thickening, not flow), grinding effect, shrinkage (reduce), machining (improve), impact strength, hardness, insulation, explosive properties, acoustic properties, thermal insulation properties. 
Main uses of glass microspheres
Glass microspheres can be used to produce a variety of products with excellent performance. They Can be widely used in UP, EP, PF, MF, organic silicon, and other thermosetting resin products, Such as the production of sealing material, floor coating, car chassis PVC stone impact molding coating, ultra-low density cement, atomic ash (putty), emulsified explosives, sealing paste, rubber elastomer, fine daily chemical, biological medicine, composite materials, the model with materials (wood), bowling ball, globe, light resin crafts, mural wall hanging frame, artificial marble, etc., To reduce the cost, reduce the weight of products, improve insulation, insulation, mechanical processing.
Main characteristics of glass microspheres
The glass microsphere has a good color. Pure white appearance, like calcium carbonate, can be widely used in any product with appearance color requirements; glass microsphere specific gravity is light and large. After filling, the product greatly reduces the weight and the main raw material resin dosage and makes cost reduction possible; the glass microsphere has good mobility and excellent stable product size. Since the glass sphere is a tiny ball, it has better mobility than the sheet, needle, or irregular packing; the resulting microsphere effect reduces the mixture's viscosity, and the filling performance is naturally excellent; the glass sphere has good processing performance. Because the spherical object is isotropic, the filled microsphere will not produce the disadvantages of inconsistent shrinkage rate in different parts, which ensures the stability of the product size and solves the long-standing deformation problems of special profiles and large injection molding products; the glass microsphere has low heat insulation, sound insulation, insulation, and low water absorption rate. The interior of a glass microsphere is thin vacuum gas, two different materials with poor density and thermal conductivity, so it has the characteristics of sound insulation, heat insulation, and low thermal conductivity. It is an excellent filler for a variety of thermal insulation and sound insulation products. The thermal insulation characteristics of the microspheres can also be used to protect against the thermal shock caused by the alternating changes between the hot and cold conditions. High specific resistance and very low water absorption make it widely used in processing cable insulation materials; glass microspheres can improve plastic products' physical and mechanical properties. The glass sphere-filled plastic can greatly increase the hardness and elastic modulus of the material and improve the rigidity and stress damping; the glass ball is low.
