FAQ
What are glass microbeads?
Glass microbeads are small spherical particles made of high-strength glass, characterized by high refractive index, corrosion resistance, and high compressive strength. They are widely used in fields such as road reflective materials, industrial sandblasting, and filling materials.
What are the main uses of glass microspheres?
Road marking reflection: improves nighttime driving safety. Industrial sandblasting and polishing: used for cleaning and treating metal and plastic surfaces. Filler material: Enhance the performance of composite materials such as plastic and rubber. Cosmetics&Coatings: Provides a glossy and delicate texture.
What is the particle size range of glass microspheres?
Common specifications range from 10 micrometers (μ m) to 3000 micrometers (3mm), and different mesh sizes (such as 20-30 mesh, 60-80 mesh, etc.) can be customized according to needs.
Are glass microbeads environmentally friendly?
High quality glass microspheres have stable chemical properties, are non-toxic and pollution-free, comply with environmental standards such as RoHS, and can be recycled.
How to choose the appropriate glass microbeads?
Factors such as particle size, refractive index, compressive strength, and usage need to be considered, for example: road markings: choose high refractive index and wear-resistant types; Sandblasting treatment: Select models with moderate hardness and uniform particle size.
