Glass microbeads are tiny glass particles that typically have diameters between 10 microns and 1,000 microns. They can be round, irregular or oval in shape. Glass microbeads are widely used in various fields and have many uses. Here are some common uses of glass beads.
2. Coatings and coatings: Glass microbeads can be added as pigments to coatings and coatings to improve their appearance and performance. Glass beads can increase the brightness and gloss of the coating, provide better hiding power, and reduce the moisture absorption of the coating. In addition, glass microbeads can also be used as fillers in coatings, increasing the strength and durability of the coating.
3. Fillers and reinforcers: Glass beads can be used as fillers and reinforcers to be added to plastics, rubber and composite materials. Glass microbeads can provide lightweight materials, increase hardness and strength, improve wear resistance, reduce coefficient of thermal expansion, and improve material fluidity and processability.
4.3D printing: Glass microbeads can be used in 3D printing with resins to increase the hardness and strength of printed objects and improve their surface quality. Glass microbeads can make printed objects more uniform and prevent shrinkage and deformation.
Glass microbeads are widely used in various fields, and glass microbeads play an important role. By controlling the particle size, shape and properties of glass beads, it is possible to meet the needs of different industries and fields, and provide better performance and functionality for products.
