High quality glass microspheres for research and development are always in high demand.? In an effort to better serve scientists Cospheric recently added a complete line of high quality borosilicate microspheres, and microbeads.
Borosilicate glass offers? advantages over standard soda lime glass microbeads.
- Roundness is >90%?? (Soda lime >85%)
- Density is the lowest of most glasses at 2.2g/cc? (Soda Lime 2.5g/cc)
- Very low thermal expansion coefficient? 32×10-7/?C?? (for 30-300?C)?? (Soda Lime:? 90×10-7/?C)
The high roundness, and low thermal expansion make borosilicate spheres an excellent candidate for use as spacers in epoxy bond lines, or other applications which require stability over a wide temperature range.
Borosilicate glass spheres are now offered in narrow size ranges from 0.03mm to 0.2mm with greater than 90% of the particles in range.
