What Are Microspheres?
As the name suggests, microspheres are microscopic lightweight fillers that can be created from various natural and synthetic materials such as glass, ceramic and polymer. Based on the intended application, some are hollow and some are solid. Microspheres can be added to plastics, resins, adhesives, and composites. Their inclusion produces a number of benefits depending on the application, from lower density to improved insulation to more efficient machining.
