Microperl® solid glass beads offer a unique combination of specific properties in thermoplastic applications that are not found in any other filler material. Their shape and chemical composition provide the following properties in engineering plastics such as Nylon, PBT, POM, PP, PC, … :

• Higher abrasion and scratch resistance
• Dimensional stability improvement (shrinkage and warpage)
• Good thermal conductivity
• Surface finish, aesthetic
• Faster and more economic processing (ball bearing effect)
• High chemical resistance
• Food approved

These improvements can be achieved in a range of engineering plastics and are used by formulators to enhance applications in automotive, domestic appliances, electrical parts, aerospace, buildings and other industries.
