GLOXIL iM16k A
GLOXIL iM16k A
Gloxil iM16k A is a micro hollow glass sphere whose surface has been modified with a special amino functional group. Based on hollow glass microspheres from 3M, this product brings further improvements in plastics where weight reduction is an important issue thanks to its surface modification. The main field of application is the production of thermoplastics with demands for low density and low weight of the finished product. The functionalization allows a better integration of the lightweight filler, leading to an improvement in the strength of the finished
product.
