Glass microspheres for epoxy resins
Glass microspheres are a versatile and useful additive for improving the properties of epoxy resin, making it suitable for a wide range of technical and artistic applications. Here is a summary of their properties and uses:
Main features:
- Product type: Glass microspheres
- Weight: 800 g
- Features: Low moisture absorption, ideal for use both above and below the waterline.
- Applications: Self-leveling, fillers, plasters.
- Consistents: Varies depending on the mixture prepared.
Main uses:
- Self-leveling mixtures:
- Preparation: Mix 2 parts catalyzed clear multi-purpose epoxy resin (Resin Pro) with 1 part glass microspheres.
- Applications: Filling of horizontal cracks, gluing.
- Filling mixes:
- Preparation: Mix 1 part catalyzed clear multi-purpose epoxy resin (Resin Pro) with 1 part glass microspheres.
- Applications: Filling and smoothing of small surface defects.
- Krohv:
- Preparation: Mix 1 part catalyzed clear multi-purpose epoxy resin (Resin Pro) with 3 parts glass microspheres.
- Applications: Can also be used for filling in large layers and for grouting.
Surface preparation:
- Dry and clean: Make sure the surface to be treated is completely dry and free of moisture. In the case of wood, it is important that it is clean and free from oil and grease.
- Sanding: Sand surfaces thoroughly before applying resin.
Instructions for use:
- Mixing: Before adding the glass microspheres, mix component A thoroughly with component B in a ratio of 100:60 (by weight).
- Integration: Add glass microspheres only after mixing the main resin components.
Advantages of glass microspheres:
- Low specific weight: They allow you to obtain light and easily grindable mixtures.
- Resilience and versatility: ideal for filling and grouting different surfaces.
- Ease of use: Their ability to improve the workability and properties of the resin makes each application more efficient.
Note: Glass microspheres are particularly useful for applications requiring a good balance between weight, consistency and durability. For best results, be sure to follow the preparation and application instructions.
