Ceramic Vacuum Microspheres

The addition of hollow spheres to fiberglass reinforced plastics frp epoxy compounds and urethane castings can provide weight reduction cost savings.

Ceramic vacuum microspheres.

The highest of any hollow ceramic microspheres in the market. Q cel hollow spheres and extendospheres hollow spheres products offer formulators flexibility in polymer composites. These ultra low density spheres can be produced in very small particle sizes diameters from 5 to 100 microns can withstand a broad ph range 2 9 and combine low thermal conductivity with. The wall thickness is about 1 10 of the sphere diameter.

Hollow and solid glass spheres ceramic spheres plastic spheres and new for 09. Because of their unique shape inherent hardness and fine particle size 3m ceramic microspheres help enhance performance and durability in a wide range of paints and coatings. E spheres hollow ceramic microspheres hcm are widely utilised in the coatings industry to formulate coatings with enhanced thermal insulation capabilities due to the very low coefficient of thermal conductivity and partial vacuum inside the microsphere. Insulating ceramic microspheres what they are and how they make paint insulate each single ceramic microsphere is so small that it looks to the naked eye as if it is a single grain of flour slightly thicker than a human hair.

In all these ways and more 3m ceramic microspheres enhance durability and performance in a wide variety of architectural and industrial paints and coatings. White colour e spheres sl series are distinctly whiter than any other hollow ceramic microspheres in the market thanks to their special chemistry. Ceramic microspheres also come in handy when you need a very durable surface. Obviously ceramics provide an inherent hardness rating that you can t find in any other filler material currently being used.

In addition the use of spheres increases the durability because a sphere is a very stable shape that can take abuse without cracking. Highest compressive strength isostatic pressure tests show over 70 rate of particle survival at 4800 psi 33 mpa. In addition to helping manufacturers reduce costs and improve processability these intrinsically hard fillers.
