Microspheres description<\/h3>\n
Microspheres are made from alumina silicate<\/a> and used as raw material in several manufacturing processes. They can improve the properties of the product in which they are applied and reduce the manufacturing costs of these.<\/p>\n
Silica microspheres provide many advantages such as low cost of products by reducing the use of main materials to the benefit of using microspheres. They also favor a better handling during the production of the materials because they contribute to reducing their viscosity. In addition, the microspheres provide greater resistance to stress, greater strength and consistency and a reduction in weight in the final products. This lower weight due to the microspheres also positively affects a reduction in the cost of transporting the products.<\/p>\n
The spherical, hollow and light shape of the microspheres also influences the improvement of their circulation and the reduction of breakage in mixing, pouring and falling of the products. As they are hollow ceramic microspheres, they provide, at the same time, a reduction in the density of the products and an ability to act as a thermal and acoustic insulator.<\/p>\n
