About this product
Product information from the supplier.
Low-Density Hollow Glass Microspheres are advanced micro-scale hollow particles composed primarily of alkali-lime borosilicate glass. Featuring a high-gloss surface and a unique cellular structure, these spheres provide an exceptional balance of low density and high mechanical strength, making them indispensable for high-performance industrial applications where weight reduction and structural integrity are critical.
Engineered for versatility, these microspheres deliver outstanding thermal conductivity, superior electrical insulation, and remarkable resistance to high temperatures, acids, and alkalis. Their excellent chemical stability and fluidity allow for seamless integration into adhesives, anti-corrosion coatings, oilfield cementing, and lightweight transportation vehicles, enhancing the efficiency and durability of end products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the primary applications of Hollow Glass Microspheres in the mining and coatings industry?
They are widely used in anti-corrosion coatings, oilfield cementing operations, syntactic foams for deep-sea exploration, and lightweight building materials to improve thermal insulation and reduce weight.
Q: How do these microspheres improve the performance of syntactic foams?
By providing a low-density core with high compressive strength, they allow the foam to withstand extreme underwater pressures while remaining buoyant.
Q: Can the particle size be customized for specific industrial needs?
Yes, while common sizes range from 2-130 µm, we accept customization requests to meet specific D50 and D90 requirements for your unique application.
Q: Are these microspheres resistant to harsh chemical environments?
Absolutely. Due to their alkali-lime borosilicate glass composition, they exhibit excellent stability and resistance to both acids and alkalis.
Q: How does the floatation rate impact the quality of the product?
A floatation rate of ≥ 95% indicates a high percentage of intact hollow spheres, ensuring the promised low density and consistent buoyancy in the final mixture.
Q: Which other non-metallic minerals are often used alongside these microspheres?
They are frequently used in conjunction with Calcium Carbonate, Talc Powder, and Mica Powder to create complex composite materials with specific mechanical and thermal properties.
