Hollow glass microspheres are lightweight, hollow, spherical particles made primarily from soda-lime borosilicate glass. These particles boast high strength-to-weight ratios, thermal insulation properties, low density, and high chemical resistance, making them an ideal choice for a range of industrial applications. Their size, typically ranging from 10 to 200 microns, and the customizable thickness of their glass walls further enhance their functionality.
These unique characteristics allow HGMs to reduce weight, improve buoyancy, and enhance thermal and acoustic insulation in various products, making them indispensable in today's technologically driven industries.
