What is a hollow glass

Hollow Glass Microspheres (HGMS) are near-perfect engineered spherical bubbles of thin-walled Glass, approximately 50 microns in size, with a low density of between 0.1-0.4 g/cc. The glass type is amorphous and can come with low-purity or high-purity grades. These hollow particles can be used as lightweight fillers in syntactic foam or as hydrogen gas storage in the pharmaceutical industry. Hollow spheres also have uses ranging from storage and slow release of pharmaceuticals and radioactive tracers to research in controlled storage and release of hydrogen. Microspheres are also used in composites to fill polymer resins for specific characteristics such as weight, standability, and sealing surfaces. It is not as fast as other media at cleaning and does not last as long as harder blast media like steel. Since Glass is not as hard as steel grit, steel shot, and even coal slag, it does not clean as fast as these blast media. Glass beads were a great replacement for the natural materials used for ornamentation. For example, they were already separated by size, were already colored, and did not lose color in sunlight. The primary one has added durability as they are much less susceptible to breakage. Thick glass windows also help to reduce sound transmission keeping your home quieter than windows with thinner Glass.

Unsurprisingly, the lower noise level from thicker Glass is very substantial. Hollow glass microspheres have numerous advantages, such as insulation, consistency, resistance, gloss, etc. No other material can provide a complete substitute for hollow microspheres in terms of performance. PETRA MicroLite Glass Microspheres improve the durability and integrity of coatings. Glass typically has a tensile strength of 7 megapascals (1,000 psi). However, the theoretical upper bound on its strength is orders of magnitude higher: 17 gigapascals (2,500,000 psi). This high value is due to silicon dioxide's strong chemical Si–O bonds.
