Why choose hollow glass beads? This is inseparable from the hollow glass beads unique thin-walled hollow spherical structure.
First of all, the hollow thin wall represents compared with the same volume of solid spherical structure, hollow glass beads of solid filler less, accordingly the mass of the object is lighter.
The density of our hollow glass beads is usually in the range of 0.20-0.76g/cm³, which is lighter than ordinary glass beads.
In addition to the advantage of low density, the spherical structure allows the hollow glass beads to roll freely between many materials with a ball bearing effect, i.e. very good flowability.
In addition, spherical shapes have a huge advantage over other spatial geometries in that they have the smallest specific surface area, which means that hollow glass beads have a lower oil absorption and higher filler volume, which can lead to significant savings in production costs when filled in the real industry.
Although hollow glass beads are a hollow piece of glass, this does not mean that they are fragile. Hollow glass beads are hard and stable.
First of all, hard because of the high isostatic compressive strength of hollow glass beads, even in the face of high-intensity extrusion is not fragile, wear-resistant, able to meet the requirements of different processing technology.
Stability on behalf of the chemical properties of hollow glass beads is very stable,
that is, high melting point,
high ignition point,
low dielectric constant, low thermal conductivity,
good thermal insulation and heat preservation,
good insulation properties, insoluble in most acid and alkali solutions,
heat insulation and sound insulation.
In addition, hollow glass beads are also isotropic, so that the products have high dimensional stability.
Our hollow glass beads are pure white solid powder to the naked eye, easy to dye, can be combined with different dyes with the application requirements of coloring, will not affect the nature of the product.

Glass Bubble Filler
What can hollow glass beads be used for?
1) Artificial marble
Hollow glass beads can be used to synthesize artificial marble. Hollow glass beads can improve the impact performance of artificial marble, so that the product has a stronger impact strength, not easy to crack, breakage;
hollow glass beads can reflect the external light, you can improve the texture and color of the product, making the product more beautiful, dazzling;
hollow glass beads to reduce the liquid curing time and increase the product’s machining performance, reduce the extra fringe, cutting, drilling and sanding products. time.
In addition, because of the quality of hollow glass beads orthopedic, the production of artificial marble is easier to handle and install, reducing transportation costs.
2) Artificial wood substitution
Hollow glass beads can be used to produce artificial wood. Filling hollow glass beads in artificial substitution wood can adjust the density of the product and reduce the quality of the product.
In addition, hollow glass beads have lower oil absorption and lower viscosity, which is more favorable for processing. Similar to the production of artificial marble, hollow glass beads can also improve the texture and color of the product and prevent the product from cracking and breaking.
3) Atomic Ash
Hollow glass beads can be used to make atomic ash. Atomic ash is a kind of putty that can be used to fill the surface of the substrate, using hollow glass beads to make atomic ash.
hollow glass beads have excellent fluidity, which is good for filling the voids and surfaces of various materials with atomic ash. Atomic plaster made from hollow glass beads has excellent water, dirt and corrosion resistance and is easy to transport.
