Automotive applications

SiLibeads® SOLID glass beads are mainly used in adhesives as spacers and guarantee a consistent thickness of the adhesive gap.

SiLibeads® AIR hollow glass beads are mainly used in underbody protection, noise reduction materials and seam sealing. Thanks to their low weight, they contribute to weight reduction, lower fuel consumption and thus to climate and environmental protection.
