What is Hollow glass microspheres?
Hollow glass microspheres are micrometer-sized, smooth-surfaced hollow glass spheres with a substrate of soda-lime borosilicate glass (sodium-calcium borosilicate glass). Under a microscope, they appear as transparent, hollow, perfectly spherical spheres.
Core properties: Low density, high strength, low thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, good flowability and chemical stability, belonging to the cutting-edge lightweight materials.
Main value: Lightweight modification and weight reduction for various materials, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, and widely used in the insulation and composite materials industries.
