Glass beads as filler for plastics and coatings

Silan-coated solid or hollow glass beads improve the physical properties of thermoplastics and thermosets when used as a filler. Highest whiteness without colour variations, tightly defined grain sizes and a broad range of coatings for tailored interactions with the polymer system. They are used wherever strength, gloss, flowability or electrical properties need to be optimised – in the plastics, chemical and coating industries. We advise you on the right grain size and coating for your compound.

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.
