Density Reducing Agents for Buoyancy
3M Glass Bubbles H20/1000 are identical to 3M? Glass Bubbles A20/1000 in density (0.20 g/cc) and isostatic strength (1000 psi), differing only in their surface treatment. H20/1000 glass bubbles are coated with an epoxy silane surface treatment. They are useful in high-performance buoyancy applications, especially in underwater vehicles, where their high strength-to-weight ratio maximizes buoyancy while withstanding the pressure of deep water.
Paints and Coatings
3M glass bubbles offer a variety of benefits to light weight, high-build elastomeric roof coatings, anti-condensation coatings, etc. Here are some of the benefits:
- Lower viscosity, improved flow
- Increased filler loading, reduced cost
- VOC reduction
- Chemical stability and inertness
- Reduced dielectric constant
- Thermal conductivity reduction
- Temperature resistance
