Thanks to the excellent qualities of hollow glass beads, it can be used to fill the production of engineering plastics, rubber, glass fiber reinforced plastic and other industrial products.

First of all, the low density of hollow glass beads, the use of hollow glass beads filled with industrial products, can greatly reduce the quality of the product, easier to transport, to a certain extent, to save the cost of transportation.

Secondly, hollow glass beads can replace or save the amount of resin used in the process, avoiding the use of too much expensive resin materials, greatly reducing the cost of commodity production.

Hollow glass beads have strong fluidity, in the production of putty and other coated industrial products, not only will not affect the performance of putty coating, very easy to spread, and hollow glass beads can reflect the light received on the surface, can increase the appearance of the glossy feeling after coating.

The applied product can also be resistant to sanding, heat and cracking, and can be kept on the surface for a long time.

Hollow glass beads also increase the machinability of the product, reducing the amount of extra time spent flying, cutting, drilling and sanding the product, as well as making the item more water, dirt and corrosion resistant and easier to transport.

Sound insulation, insulation, heat preservation: Hollow glass beads, as a product made of glass, can be used as a filler for heat insulation and heat preservation products or insulation products as it possesses extremely low thermal conductivity and high quality insulating properties.

The thin gas inside the glass shell of hollow glass beads can effectively reduce the energy of sound waves, thus blocking the propagation of sound and playing the effect of sound insulation.

The four advantages introduced above make hollow glass beads can be used in the production of adhesives, coatings, rubber elastomers and other products, play a role in improving the performance of the product and reduce production costs.

First of all, hollow glass beads can improve the processing performance of the product. Hollow glass beads can reduce the amount of resin in the product, thus reducing the viscosity of the adhesive. The use of hollow glass beads made of adhesive is also easy to flow, with anisotropic consistency, will not occur in the actual application of warping or shrinkage and other issues, to achieve easy dispersion, not agglomeration of the use of the effect.

In addition, hollow glass beads can also give the product a wealth of other characteristics, so that the product also has a high chemical stability. Hollow glass beads thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, insulation, stability, not only will not react with other processing materials, the products made with it will have good thermal insulation, dielectric properties and thixotropy, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and easy to store.

Finally, hollow glass beads have a unique physical structure that is hollow glass microsphere structure, is an excellent volume filling material. This is reflected in the following two aspects.

First, as a microsphere, hollow glass beads can fill all kinds of production voids and improve the stacking performance of products.

Second, the lower density of hollow glass beads can replace organic filler components such as resins, which not only reduces the VOC index, but also greatly reduces the weight of the product, while saving the cost of manufacturing, processing, transportation and regulatory storage of the product.

Specification of Bead blasting glass

Hollow glass beads make hollow glass microspheres with soda-lime borosilicate glass as the main component.

To the naked eye, it is a smooth surface of white powder, but under the microscope, it is micron-level hollow transparent glass balls.

The density of hollow glass beads is very low, and its good fluidity and chemical stability make it a new material at the forefront of both traditional industrial scenarios such as adhesives and rubber, as well as new fields such as aerospace and 5G communications.

What are the advantages of hollow glass beads?

 Light weight and volume specific gravity, low density: compared to other traditional industrial filler materials, hollow glass beads have a lower density, usually between 0.2 g/cm3 and 0.7 g/cm3.

In addition to being an excellent volumetric filler, the low oil absorption rate and low viscosity also make hollow glass beads a good substitute for resin for filling, which reduces the weight of the products while minimizing the production cost.

 Easy to flow: the unique micro-regular spherical structure of hollow glass beads makes it easier for the particles to roll with each other, with good dispersion and easy to flow. In the actual production process, hollow glass beads easy to flow characteristics can play a lubricating effect, so that the product in the injection molding easier to extrude, improve production efficiency.

 Stability: Hollow glass beads have excellent physical and chemical stability. First of all, from the physical stability point of view, hollow glass beads have smooth surface, uniform size, rounded all around, and the hard glass case ensures that it is not fragile. It can be used for mechanical grinding and polishing.

From the point of view of chemical properties, hollow glass beads are not easy to dissolve in acid and alkali, storage conditions are not affected by temperature, easy to store, not easy to aging.
