Improving flow properties.

Hollow glass microsphere is a tiny sphere with high ball-type rate. Its ball-bearing effect can improve its mobility and reduce the viscosity and internal stress of resin mixture. Therefore, during processing, less heat is produced in composite materials so as to prevent inadequate lubrication and partial thermal decomposition. It is more likely to extrude when molding, which can not only reduce defects in products, but also improve the production efficiency by 15% -20%.

More substitute ability for resin.

Hollow glass microspheres occupy less surface area, low oil-absorption rate, and evenly disperse in mixture. Its easy compression and integration permit high filler loadings. It significantly reduces the consumption of resins, increases the amount of filler, and effectively reduces VOC indicators, and costs as well.

Low shrinkage and warpage.

Hollow glass microspheres have the feature of isotropism and high-filling, hence the dimensional stability of the product will be very high and it will reduce the shrinkage and warpage. With an appropriate filling ratio, the toughness of the products, impact-resistance and surface hardness can be significantly improved.

More economical by volume.

The density of high-performance hollow glass microspheres is only a fraction of that of the resin. A small amount of hollow glass microspheres will be able to replace heavier materials. When considering the cost per unit volume, rather than cost per unit weight, high-performance hollow glass microspheres can significantly reduce costs.

Adjusting the density of products .

The density of hollow glass microspheres is usually 0.20 ~ 0.60g/cm3, and the density of mineral filler is generally around 2.7 ~ 4.4 g/cm3 (The data adopted is the true particle density). In order to obtain the equal size, 14 kilograms or more of talc must be used to obtain the same effect of 1 kg of hollow glass microsphere. Hence the desired ideal density can be obtained by adding appropriate proportions of hollow glass microspheres.

Hollow glass microspheres are used in many elastomeric applications—from shoe soles and tires to hoses and wire and cable compounds, from thermoplastic elastomers to liquid silicone rubber sealants and void fillers.

Often the main benefit is weight reduction, especially important for transportation applications. Insulation, stiffening, and cycle time reductions are additional attributes afforded by hollow glass microspheres for transportation and other applications.

In general, they are used for many of the same reasons as discussed in the Thermoplastics chapter, but physical property changes are somewhat different.

Newly developed porous hollow glass microspheres can be filled with absorbents to store gas and other materials. On a macro scale, these strong, reusable microspheres can be made to behave like a liquid. Applications for hydrogen storage, gas transport, gas purification and separation, sensor technologies, global-warming applications, and drug delivery systems are underway. Coatings, plates and fibers with similar properties can also be fabricated.

What looks like a fertilized egg, flows like water, gets stuffed with catalysts and exotic nanostructures and may have the potential of making the current retail gasoline infrastructure compatible with hydrogen-based vehicles of the future — not to mention also contributing to arenas such as nuclear proliferation and global warming?

This unique material, dubbed porous wall hollow glass microspheres, consists of porous hollow glass microballoons that are smaller than the diameter of a human hair. The key characteristic of these 2-100 micron spheres is an interconnected porosity in their thin outer walls that can be produced and varied on a scale of 100 to 3,000 Angstroms.

We have been able to use these open channels to fill the microballons with gas absorbents and other materials. Hydrogen or other reactive gases can then enter the microspheres through the pores, creating a relatively safe, contained, solid-state storage system.

Photographs of these hollow glass microspheres absorbent composites also reveal that the wall porosity generates entirely new nano-structures.

Another feature of the microballoons is that their mechanical properties can be altered so they can be made to flow like a liquid. This suggests that an existing infrastructure that currently transports, stores and distributes liquids such as the existing gasoline distribution and retail network can be used. This property and their relative strength also make the porous wall hollow glass microspheres suitable for reuse and recycling.

Our proprietary process allows us to deposit precisely controlled amounts of sliver (and other metals including gold, palladium, iridium, etc.) onto lightweight hollow glass microspheres, thus producing highly reflective materials with the conductivity of the precious metals but without the high cost or weight. Further research has resulted in materials which can absorb electromagnetic energy instead of simply reflecting it.

Hollow glass microspheres coated with silver, gold and other Alloys are lightweight, highly reflective, inexpensive and can be easily customized to the specific requirements of the customer.

From water or solvent based paints, caulks, tapes, fabric, sheets, plastics and metals, hollow glass microspheres have proven their effectiveness in a myriad or environments and applications throughout the World.

High performance, hollow glass microspheres and extremely reflective, lightweight, low cost conductive EMI shielding materials are available today.

If low-density closed-cell foams are used deep in the sea, the high hydrostatic pressures either compress the foam, or fracture the cell faces, so the foam loses its buoyancy. Consequently syntactic foams are used for buoyancy at depth. These contain hollow glass microspheres in a polymer matrix, and have a density less than that of water.

When closed-cell rigid PU foams are subjected to high water pressures, the cell faces fail and the water enters the structure. Mondal and Khakhar showed the pressure vs. loss of buoyancy graph for a foam of density circa 150 kgm−3 was a function of the surfactant used in the foaming process, hence of the thickness (strength) of the cell faces. In a subsequent article they modelled the breakdown process and showed that the threshold pressure for hydraulic collapse occurred when 9% of the cell faces had fractured.

The Hyundai Mobis IP Core Part Development Project finished a 19-month series of tests comparing a PC/ABS material with a new PP material filled with hollow glass microspheres. We were exploring new material formulations that would help reduce overall part weight and costs in the production of instrument panel core parts, research by engineer for the Cockpit Module Design Project.

That using the PP material with hollow glass microspheres achieved a 16.8% reduction in weight, and lowered the finished part cost by a solid 50% (cost of materials in Korea), compared with the same cores made in PC/ABS.

In addition, we experienced improved material flowability and better dimensional stability compared to current talc-filled polypropylene. The change allowed the use of existing tooling, so no capital outlay there, and also reduced part warpage.

Hollow glass microsphere paints allows the glass fusing artist to create a range of hollow glass microsphere fused glass items. Available in range of eleven colors and mixing medium, hollow glass microsphere paints may be applied wet or dry to suitable art glass pieces before fusing in a glass kiln.

This paint is suitable for general glass fusing or fused art glass jewelry. The paints can be mixed to make additional colors. Each color is a fine powder which is suitable for either COE 90 or COE 96 fusing glass.

Using As A Paint

To use as a paint, the powder is mixed with a special hollow glass microspheres paint medium to the thickness of cream. It can then be applied with a paint brush. Using this method, original designs can be created on the glass, with a clear cap being added to obtain the best result.

Separate colors can be used and mixed on the glass if desired. Mix only as much as needed as left over dry paint mix can not be used.

Another method is to paint a piece of glass with hollow glass microspheres paint medium and then sift paint powder onto the glass. The more medium, the more it will produce a translucent water color finish after being fired in a fusing glass kiln. By sifting a range of different colors onto the glass a nice multi-colored hollow glass microsphere finish can be obtained.

Paint can be dry sifted onto a piece of glass with a clear cap added to cover the powder prior to glass fusing. Different colorc can be laid on top of each other to create an original shaded finish. Cap with clear fusing glass prior to fusing in a glass fusing kiln. With a heavy coating of powder the larger the hollow glass microspheres may be. If the hollow glass microspheres are too large then the top glass can be thin and weak.

For the best results the glass should be fused at a fast full fuse at about 1450° F. Slower fusing rates may result in a large number of unwanted hollow glass microspheres. Once fused the glass should be left to cool to room temperature before removing from the glass kiln.

Microscopic hollow glass microspheres can be used in numerous applications; as an adjusting aid and distancing element of electricity-conducting single components, in microelectronic mechanics, as an abrasion-deterring element in grating components, in mechanical engineering, and as a material for artistic surface design.

A New Adhesive System

The Controltac adhesive system is an innovation in the area of large format graphic films. In this system, approximately 50µm strong films are equipped. In addition to the adhesive, millions of microscopic (40 up to 50µm diameter) hollow glass microspheres are utilized in an exact, regular arrangement.

This is achieved through the preceding microstructuring of the surface. The small hollow glass microspheres create a gliding effect between the adhesive and the area to be adhered, enabling precise alignment of the foil.

The spheres sink into the adhesive layer upon application of stronger pressure, and can then be permanently fixed to the base. This technology enables large formatting foils to be adhered.

Lighter Materials

Another, new application comprises of a composite material of metal and hollow glass microspheres. The new material both shines and feels like solid metal, but at the same time, is remarkably light. In order to achieve this, the metal is poured into hollow glass microspheres measuring 60µm.

If the hollow glass microspheres are unevenly distributed, it results in an even surface, which feels completely smooth like metal. With an irregular distribution of the glass, the material appears as if it were marbled with veins.

Although the material is very porous, it appears completely smooth and weighs very little. With the density of aluminum of 2.7g/cm3 is lowered to 1.2g/cm3. With zinc from 7g/cm3, it is reduced by more than half, namely to 3.1g/cm3.

The Measurement

The image below shows the particle size distribution of hollow glass microspheres, which was attained using the ANALYSETTE 22 (maximum measuring range: 0.1–2100µm). The measurement was carried out using a dry dispersion unit with a modified pressure at the Venturi injectors.

The measuring range was covered from 0.85 up to approximately 116µm. During the assessment of the measuring data, the Mie-theory was used, especially in the area of smaller particle diameters for samples that have a small refractive index.

An already major deviation of the calculation according to Fraunhofer is recognizable. For comparison, a distribution curve from the Fraunhofer approximation was also drawn into the diagram.
