Glass Beads for Plastic Filling
Product Information Glass Beads
Filler for plastics to enhance the physical properties of thermoplastics and thermosets. Coated with a silane.
Benefits
Colour
The glass beads can be supplied at the highest level of whiteness. The production process eliminates colour variations.
Grain distribution
Many different grain sizes are available. The production process ensures tight tolerances.
Coatings
New coatings and coating techniques have been developed. This technology allows targeted interactions between glass and each individual plastic to be controlled — e.g. adhesion between glass and plastic, (im)mobility of glass beads in a plastic, electrical activity, water repellency, etc.
This in turn leads to improved end-product properties such as colour, flowability (processability), tensile strength, impact strength, gloss, shape and more.
