Glass microsphere is especially popular in the production of lightweight plastics, plastic masses and plastic compounds (thermoplasts of injection moulding, sheet and bulk moulding compounds, plastics created by means of reaction injection moulding, transfer moulding etc.). Lightweight high-durable composite materials are created using glass microsphere. Without these materials modern high-tech engineering is unthinkable – space and aircraft industry, ship and automobile construction etc.
Glass microsphere is in demand both in public and industrial construction. Microsphere has become an integral part of numerous modern materials applied in building: pore fillers, mastic compounds, sealant compounds, adhesive materials, heat- and sound-insulating coatings, roof coverings, paints (including special— light reflective etc.), corrosion-resistant and other protective cover coatings.
Glass microsphere is used in defence industry (for example in emulsion explosives), in medical industry (to create special coatings), chemical industry (in catalytical materials, anti-foaming agents and others), at manufacturing sports equipment, lightweight watercrafts etc.
