Innovative glass bubbles (also known as hollow glass microspheres) are ultra-lightweight, inert, spherical particles that offer a unique combination of low density, thermal insulation, and mechanical strength. These properties make them ideal for lightweighting and thermal insulation in a wide range of applications—from aerospace to construction and energy.
Applications by Industry
Aerospace & Automotive
Lightweight composites for body panels, interior parts, and under-hood components.
Reduce fuel consumption and increase payload capacity.
Compatible with thermoplastics, thermosets, and metal-matrix composites.
Construction & Insulation
Insulating plasters, grouts, and concrete with improved fire resistance and reduced thermal bridging.
Syntactic foams for insulating panels and spray-applied insulations.
Excellent for lightweight cement slurries in geotechnical and tunneling works.
Oil & Gas and Energy
Cementing slurries for deep wells to reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Insulating coatings and buoyancy modules for subsea pipelines.
High-performance thermal insulating materials for LNG storage tanks.
Plastics & Polymers
Filler in thermoplastics (PE, PP, PA, etc.) and thermoset resins (epoxy, polyurethane).
Improved dimensional stability, reduced shrinkage, and density control.
Electrically insulating or EM wave absorbing when combined with appropriate materials.
Advantages
✅ Weight Reduction without sacrificing mechanical performance
✅ Thermal Insulation due to trapped air and low conductivity
✅ Processability with standard injection molding, extrusion, and casting equipment
✅ Eco-Friendly (inert, non-toxic, and reduces material usage)
✅ Tailorable Properties for strength, density, and thermal requirements
