The low density and lightweight of glass microspheres make them widely used in various industrial fields.
Additionally, their high compressive strength and chemical stability are unique advantages as fillers, helping to prevent shrinkage and warping in composite materials. Borosilicate is their raw material.
Glass microspheres, used as fillers for surface treatment, not only are lightweight but also excellent abrasives that are easy to handle.
They can be mixed and compatible with most filler chemicals, such as epoxy resins and polyesters. Moreover, they have a wide range of applications and can be used in various production processes like casting and spraying.
Glass microspheres are divided into hollow glass microspheres and solid glass microspheres. They are lightweight fillers with very stable dimensions, also known as glass beads. Their low density allows them to be used as buoyant materials, providing good buoyancy.
The size, processing conditions, and specific materials of glass microspheres will affect their performance. After use, mechanical properties can be improved as they enhance the mechanical properties of composite materials and increase compressive strength.
Glass microspheres have good thermal and sound insulation effects, enabling composite materials to resist temperature changes effectively due to their ability to reduce heat transfer.
Fundamentally, glass microspheres are used to remove burrs and defects, making surfaces smoother and more aesthetically pleasing. In stainless steel and mechanical parts, glass microspheres are used as fillers for surface treatment to achieve a smooth surface.
They are employed as fillers to fill surface voids and defects during surface treatment.
Glass microspheres exhibit great stability as they minimize the occurrence of expansion and contraction, thus reducing the risk of product deformation. Therefore, they are excellent stabilizing fillers in terms of dimensional stability.
