3M™ Glass Bubbles K20
K20 glass bubbles have a density of 0.2 g/cc and an isostatic crush strength of 500 psi. The general purpose K Series glass bubbles are the most economical 3M glass bubbles.


Product Information

Density Reducing Agents for Buoyancy
3M Glass Bubbles K20 are used extensively in shallow water buoyancy applications. Their low density (0.20 g/cc) provides reliable buoyancy, and their high isostatic strength makes them an ideal choice when processing or buoy depth requires more strength. And, like all 3M glass bubbles, K20 bubbles are compatible with polyurethane, polypropylene and epoxy, and are virtually insoluble in water.

Industrial Explosives
The most versatile glass bubble, K20 bubbles are ideal for use in bulk emulsion, packaged emulsion, water gel and slurry explosives. Their high-strength provides protection against dead pressing while their low density provides high velocity of detonation (VOD).
- True density: 0.20 g/cc
- Target crush strength (90% survival): 500 psi
- High fragmentation
- Inert, non-coalescing particles provide consistent performance over time

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
