3M™ Glass Bubbles K15
K15 glass bubbles have a density of 0.15 g/cc and an isostatic crush strength of 300 psi. The general purpose K Series glass bubbles are the most economical 3M glass bubbles.


Product Information

Density Reducing Agents for Buoyancy
With low density (0.15 g/cc) and isostatic strength good to 300 psi, 3M? Glass Bubbles K15 are ideal for use in a variety of water buoyancy applications, including additives in buoys and moorings. Like all 3M glass bubbles, K15 bubbles are compatible with polyurethane, polypropylene and epoxy, and are virtually insoluble in water.

Industrial Explosives
The increased strength of 3M K15 bubbles gives increased resistance to dead pressing. This allows their use as sensitizers in both bulk and packaged emulsion explosives.
- Provide outstanding velocity of detonation (VOD); high fragmentation
- Inert, non-coalescing particles provide consistent performance over time
- True density: 0.15 g/cc
- Target crush strength (90% survival): 300 psi

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
