What is Hollow glass beads

Hollow glass beads are a new type of composite material. During the production process, high-quality environmentally friendly materials are used for production, which ensures the environmental protection performance of the product and also guarantees the product quality. Hollow glass microbeads are inorganic non-metallic materials with excellent performance, and the particle size is between 2-125 microns.

Hollow glass beads are a composite material with excellent properties. They have the characteristics of lightweight, low thermal conductivity, and high compressive strength. They are ideal filling materials for thermal insulation coatings, glass fiber reinforced plastics, and artificial stones. In addition, it also has the characteristics of oil absorption, good dispersibility and fluidity, and strong chemical stability.

The hollow glass microbeads provided by our company have a wide range of applications. Hollow glass microbeads are excellent sensitizers for emulsion explosives, increase the storage time of emulsion explosives, and improve the sensitization and stability of emulsion explosives. In many fields of application, the performance of hollow glass microspheres has been recognized and praised by customers.

What is the development trend of microbead manufacturers?

I believe we all know about road marking glass beads, but if we ask about its development trends, the advantages may not be able to make accurate answers. The effects of different specifications of glass beads are different. Let ’s take a look at the hollow glass. What is the development trend of microbead manufacturers?

Glass beads are very prominent in use. The different product uses are different. For example, hollow glass microbeads can make the product resistant to cracking and reprocessing. Road reflective glass microbeads are used in various applications. For mold cleaning and road reflection applications. Shot peened glass microbeads are based on non-polluting metal products to speed up the cleaning speed. The production level of hollow glass microbead manufacturers has reached domestic standards.

Every user wants to buy good products at affordable hollow glass microbead prices. Glass microbead manufacturers remind you that as glass microbeads become more and more widely purchased, you must shop around and buy the high quality and low prices. Products, I believe that the development of hollow glass microbead manufacturers will become wider and wider, we will make the greatest efforts in technology and price.

Many consumers do not know much about road reflective glass microbeads. In fact, consumers need to know why they use road reflective glass microbeads, because only after knowing this information will there be no problems when they are used.

The glass bead is a newly developed material in recent years. It has a wide range of uses and special properties. It has a very small diameter, lightweight, and high strength. It can be made by adding it to coatings. People need reflective coatings. At the same time, it also has a strong retroreflective performance, which can largely reflect light directly to the source of light, so it has a strong retroreflective effect. This application of reflective glass beads The road safety performance has been greatly improved.

The coating of road reflective glass beads

 does not require any additional power supply, and can also complete the prompt function of night signs. Therefore, the application of road reflective glass microbeads is used in various night warnings such as traffic signal signs, outdoor facilities, and road markings. The total number of signs greatly improves the recognition of these signs at night, plays a very good role in guiding and warning, and provides a more powerful line of safety for drivers driving at night.

Glass beads are a new type of material with a wide range of uses and special properties. It has the advantages of a lightweight, low thermal conductivity, high strength, good chemical stability, etc. Its surface is specially treated to have lipophilic and hydrophobic properties, and it is very easy to disperse inorganic material systems.

So what are the main uses of glass beads?

First，for night-time reflections of road markings such as zebra crossings closed lines, double yellow lines, and traffic signage night-time reflection devices for urban traffic roads, these glass beads are often referred to as reflective glass Beads, abbreviations: reflective glass beads.

Second, it is used for sandblasting and shot blasting of industrial machinery. Including matt surface treatment of stainless steel products, cleaning of various molds, removal of tensile stress of various parts, increasing fatigue life, cleaning of semiconductor devices, plastic packaging before tinning on pipes, removal of stabs, medical equipment, textile machinery, and various Shot peening and finishing of hardware products, cleaning and polishing of various metal pipes, non-ferrous metal precision castings, and removal of burr residues, etc. Products for this purpose are called shot-peened glass beads.

Third, glass microbeads can also be used as fillers, enhancers and so on. It has been widely used as a new material in medical equipment and nylon, rubber, engineering plastics, aviation, and other fields.

Fourth, High index refractive glass beads are used for reflective fabrics, reflective coatings, chemical coatings, advertising materials, clothing materials, reflective films, reflective cloths, reflective markers, shoes, hats, school bags, water, land, air, and air rescue that require high refraction. Supplies, and necessary materials for nighttime personnel.

To sum up the four major uses of glass microbeads, this product is already a necessary production material in many industries, and its market demand and use will continue to expand with the development of society and technological progress.
