To the naked eye microspheres look like a fine white powder. If you looked at them through a microscope, you would see micron-sized, spherical particles filled with air.
These tiny spheres provide a surprisingly Wide Range of Benefits in finished products:
Low density Improved flow Reduced shrinkage and warpage Better impact resistance Easier finishing and working characteristics Cost reduction when more expensive materials are displaced Sound and thermal insulation
The number of industries that use microspheres has grown considerably over years. Today our products are found in lightweight cements, explosives, auto parts and underbody sealants, bowling balls, marine industry products, building materials, autobody fillers, cultured marble, paints, grinding wheels, friction compounds and refractories. They are compatible with polyesters, epoxies, plastisols, urethanes, thermoplastic, latex and phenolic resins.
