Glass Microspheres HGT46

Glass microspheres from Ceno Technologies are free-flowing, high strength, low density, inert and have a wide variety of uses as a lightweight filler in composite materials, syntatic foams, paints, plastics, putties, mastics, fiberglass, sealants, varnishes, resins and cements.

Ceno Series HGT high performance microspheres are hollow, white in color and manufactured from soda-lime borosilicate glass in a range of sizes from 2 to 110 microns.

The soda-lime borosilicate composition and near perfect spherical shape of these hollow glass microspheres provide high compressive strength.

Hollow glass microspheres are often used as a lightweight filler in composite materials such as syntactic foam and light weight concrete. They give syntactic foam its light weight, low thermal conductivity, and a resistance to compressive stress that far exceeds that of other foams. These properties are exploited in the hulls of submersibles and deep-sea oil drilling equipment, where other types of foam would implode.
