Hollow Glass Microspheres 3M Sctochlite iM16K


Hollow Glass Microspheres made of sodalime borosilicate practically insoluble in water and white powdery material that floats on water.


  • Product Type: 3M Sctochlite iM16K

  • True Density: 0,46 g/cc
  • True Density: 16000 Psi


3M™ Glass Bubbles iM16K will change the way you think about plastic parts. This product has a density of 0.46 g/cc and an excellent isostatic crush strength of 16,000 psi, providing an additive with a superior strength-to-density ratio for use in injection molding extrusion and sheet molding compounds. They can reduce final part weight by 15% or more without compromising the mechanical integrity.
