Hollow Glass Sphere for Rubber and Elastomer
Our hollow glass spheres are high-performance lightweight fillers specifically engineered for rubber and elastomer applications. These micron-sized, thin-walled spheres deliver outstanding benefits: they significantly reduce compound density, enabling substantial weight savings while maintaining or enhancing mechanical properties.
The spherical shape promotes excellent flowability, uniform dispersion, and improved processability during mixing and molding. Unlike traditional mineral fillers, hollow glass spheres minimize viscosity buildup, allowing higher filler loadings without compromising processing efficiency.
In finished products, they contribute to reduced compression set, improved dimensional stability, and enhanced durability. Compatible with natural rubber, SBR, EPDM, silicone, and various elastomeric systems, our hollow glass spheres are ideal for automotive components, seals, gaskets, footwear, and industrial rubber goods—offering a reliable solution for lightweighting without sacrificing performance.
Properties:
Pure white color, Hollow Glass Microsphere can be widely used in products which have high requirements for looks and colors.
Low density, reducing the products’ basic weight obviously after filling. (the density is one out of a dozen of traditional filler particles’ density). Relatively large volume, which can substitute and save more resins, reducing cost.
High dispersion and good fluidity, dimensional stability, reduced warpage and shrinkage when used as additives.
Heat insulation, sound insulation, mostly used as heat insulation paints and coatings, automotive sealants.
In addition, corrosion resistant, fire resistant, non-conducting.
