Composite materials in construction and building

SiLibeads® SOLID glass beads and SiLibeads® AIR hollow glass beads offer various advantages as fillers in the manufacture of artificial marble:

Weight reduction: Hollow glass beads are lightweight and help reduce the overall weight of artificial composite materials, making them easier to handle and install.

Improved strength: (Surface-modified/coated) glass beads can improve the mechanical properties of the material by increasing its strength and durability. This is particularly important to ensure the longevity of composite materials such as marble.

Surface quality: The use of glass beads can result in a smoother and more uniform surface, which improves the aesthetics of the final product. This is crucial as artificial composite materials are often used in visible applications.

Cost efficiency: Glass beads and hollow glass beads are often less expensive than other fillers, which helps to reduce the production costs of composite materials.

Light reflection: Glass beads can improve light reflection in the material, resulting in a more appealing appearance and increasing the visual depth of the materials.
